4795.由此可见为何舌头具有双重功能，既能服务于言语的产生，又能服务于营养的提供。就它服务于营养的提供而言，它与对在真理上认识、理解和变得智慧的情感相对应；这也是为何智慧，或变得智慧的词根意义是味觉；就它服务于言语的产生而言，它与对思想并产生真理的情感相对应。
Potts(1905-1910) 4795
4795. From all this it is evident why the tongue is assigned a double office, namely, the office of aiding in speech, and that of aiding in nourishment. For insofar as it aids in nourishment it corresponds to the affection of knowing, understanding, and being wise as to truths; for which reason also wisdom [sapientia] and being wise [sapere] are so called from relish [sapor]; and insofar as it aids in speech, it corresponds to the affection of thinking and producing truths.

4795. From these considerations one may also see why the tongue is assigned a dual function - that of serving in the production of speech and of serving in the provision of nourishment. For insofar as it serves in the provision of nourishment it corresponds to the affection for knowing, understanding, and becoming wise in truths, which also is why the root meaning of the expression wisdom (sapientia) or being wise (sapere) is taste (sapor); and insofar as it serves in the production of speech it corresponds to the affection of thinking about and bringing forth truths.
