Перевести: so you can see that there must be laws,however good we may be.suppose you went t a greengrocer and bought some potatoes and found on your return home that they were mouldy or even than some of them were stones,what could you do if there were no laws on the subject? in the absence of law you could rely upon the law of the jungle.you could go back to the shop,demand proper potatoes and hit the shopkeeper on the nose if he refused to give them to you.you might then look round the shop to try to find some decent potatoes.while you were doing this,the shopkeeper might hit you on the back of the neck with a pound weight.
