布衣之声

A Greek to Remember

Diogenes was a famous Greek philosopher of the fourth century B.C., who established the philosophy of cynicism. He often walked about in the daytime holding a lighted lantern, peering around as if he were looking for something. When questioned about his odd behavior, he would reply, "I am searching for an honest man."

　　Diogenes held that the good man was self-sufficient and did not require material comforts or wealth. He believed that wealth and possessions constrained humanity's natural state of freedom. In keeping with his philosophy, he was perfectly satisfied with making his home in a large tub discarded from the Temple of Cybele, the goddess of nature. This earthen tub, called a pithos, and formerly been used for holding wine or oil for the sacrifices at the temple. 　　

　　One day, Alexander the Great, conqueror of half the civilized world, saw Diogenes sitting in his tub in the sunshine. So the king, surrounded by his countries, approached Diogenes and said, "I am Alexander the Great." The philosopher replied rather contemptuously, "I am Diogenes, the Cynic." Alexander then asked him if he could help him in any way. "Yes," shot back Diogenes, "don't stand between me and the sun." A surprised Alexander then replied quickly, "If I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes." 　　

　　 一位值得纪念的希腊人

提奥奇尼斯是公元前四世纪一位著名的希腊哲学家，就是他创立了犬儒派哲学。他经常在白天点着灯笼四处走动、张望，像是在找什么东西似的。当人们问起他这古怪行为时，他会回答说：“我正在寻找正人君子。”

提奥奇尼斯认为好人是自给自足的，不需要物质享受和财富。他认为财富、财产束缚了人们天生的自由状态。与他的哲学相一致，他拿一个别人从自然之母的庙里丢弃的大坛作为自己的家，还对此万分满意。这个陶制的大坛叫做圣坛，过去在庙里是用来盛装祭祀用的酒和油的。

一天，征服了半个文明世界的亚历山大大帝看见提奥奇尼斯坐在大坛里晒太阳。于是这位君王在大臣们的簇拥下去过去，对提奥奇尼斯说：“我是亚历山大大帝。”哲学家相当傲慢地回答说：“我是提奥奇尼斯－－犬儒学者。”然后亚历山大问他是否需要任何帮助。“是的”，提奥奇尼斯驳回道，“别站在我和太阳之间。”大吃一惊的亚历山大继而迅速回答道：“假如我不是亚历山大，我就会是提奥奇尼斯。”

Freedom Parrot

A man, a great man, a fighter for freedom was traveling in the mountains. He stayed in a caravans for the night. He was amazed that in the caravans there was a beautiful parrot in a golden cage, continually repeating "Freedom! Freedom!". And it was such a place that when the parrot repeated the word "Freedom!" it would go on echoing in the valleys, in the mountains.

The man thought: "I have seen many parrots, and I have thought they must want to be free from those cages... but I have never seen such a parrot whose whole day, from the morning to the evening when he goes to sleep, is spent in calling out for freedom." He had an idea. In the middle of the night, when the owner was fast asleep, he got up and opened the door of the cage. He whispered to the parrot, "Now get out."

But he was very surprised that the parrot was clinging to the bars of the cage. He said to him again and again, "Have you forgotten about freedom? Just get out! The door is open and the owner is fast asleep; nobody will ever know. You just fly into the sky; the whole sky is yours."

But the parrot was clinging so deeply, so hard, that the man said, "What is the matter? Are you mad?" He tried to take the parrot out with his own hands, but the parrot started pecking at him, and at the same time he was shouting, "Freedom! Freedom!" The valleys in the night echoed and re-echoed, but the man was also stubborn; he was a freedom fighter.

He pulled the parrot out and threw him into the sky; and he was very satisfied, although his hand was hurt. The parrot had attacked him as forcefully as he could, but the man was immensely satisfied that he had made a soul free. He went to sleep.

In the morning, as the man was waking up, he heard the parrot shouting, "Freedom! Freedom" He thought perhaps the parrot must be sitting on a tree or on a rock. But when he came out, the parrot was sitting in the cage. The door was open.

呼喊自由的鹦鹉

一个人，一个了不起的人，一个为了自由而战的斗士，正在山峦间穿行。今晚他留在一个大旅店里过夜。旅店里有一个金鸟笼，里面有一只漂亮的鹦鹉在不停地反复呼喊着“自由！自由！”，这让他很震惊。那里是这样的一种地方，当这只鹦鹉不断地反复呼喊“自由！”的时候，这个词便会在山峦间、在深谷中久久回荡。 这个人想：“我看到过很多鹦鹉，也曾想过他们一定想从这些笼子里飞出去获得自由。但是，我从没有见过这样的鹦鹉，从早到晚，直到入睡，一整天都在呼喊着自由。”他有了一个想法。午夜，当店主熟睡的时候，他悄悄起身，打开了鸟笼门，小声地对鹦鹉说：“现在，出去吧。” 但是令他吃惊的是这只鹦鹉竟抓着鸟笼的横木不放。他对它一遍又一遍地说：“你忘了自由了吗？快出去！门开着，店主熟睡着，没有人会看到。你只要飞向天空，整片天空就是你的了。” 但是鹦鹉仍然牢牢地用力抓着横木不放，于是他说：“怎么了？你疯了吗？”他试图用手把鹦鹉弄出来，但是鹦鹉却开始啄他，同时大喊：“自由！自由！”深夜的山谷里荡起了一声又一声的回音，可是这个人也一样地顽固，谁让他是个自由之士呢。 他把鹦鹉拽出来，扔向空中。他很满意，尽管他的手受伤了。虽然鹦鹉全力地攻击他，但是他却心满意足，因为他使得一个灵魂自由了。他便回去继续睡他的觉。 早上，他睡醒了，听见鹦鹉正在大喊：“自由！自由！”他想也许鹦鹉正落在一棵树上或一块石头上呢。但当他出来的时候，鹦鹉正在笼子里，笼门还开着。

A Psalm of Life

——by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

1

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,

"Life is but an empty dream! "

for the soul is dead that slumbers,

And things are not what they seem.

2

Life is real! Life is earnest!

And the grave is not its goal;

"Dust thou art, to dust returnest, "

Was not spoken of the soul.

3

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,

Is our destined end our way;

But to act, that much to-morrow

Find us farther than to-day.

4

Art is long , and Time is fleeting,

And our hearts, though stout and brave,

Still, like muffled drums, are beating

Funeral marches to the grave.

5

In the world's broad field of battle,

In the bivouac of Life,

Be not like dumb, driven cattle!

Be a hero in the strife!

6

Trust no Future,howe'er pleasant!

Let the dead Past bury its dead!

Act, -act in the living Present!

Heart within, and God o'erhead!

7

Lives of great men all remind us

We can make our lives sublime,

And , departing , leave behind us

Footprints on the sands of time;

8

Footprints, that perhaps another,

Sailing o'er life solemn main,

A forlorn and shipwrecked brother ,

Seeing, shall take heart again.

9

Let us , then, be up and doing,

With a heart for any fate;

Still achieving, still pursuing,

Learn to labor and to wait.

人生颂

不要在哀伤的诗句里告诉我：

“人生不过是一场幻梦！”

灵魂睡着了，就等于死了，

事物的真相与外表不同。

人生是真切的！人生是实在的！

它的归宿决不是荒坟；

“你本是尘土，必归于尘土”，

这是指躯壳，不是指灵魂。

我们命定的目标和道路

不是享乐，也不是受苦；

而是行动，在每个明天

都超越今天，跨出新步。

智艺无穷，时光飞逝；

这颗心，纵然勇敢坚强，

也只如鼙鼓，闷声敲动着，

一下又一下，向坟地送丧。

世界是一片辽阔的战场，

人生是到处扎寨安营；

莫学那听人驱策的哑畜，

做一个威武善战的英雄！

别指望将来，不管它多可爱！

把已逝的过去永久掩埋！

行动吧－－趁着活生生的现在！

心中有赤心，头上有真宰！

伟人的生平启示我们：

我们能够生活得高尚，

而当告别人世的时候，

留下脚印在时间的沙上；

也许我们有一个兄弟

航行在庄严的人生大海，

遇险沉了船，绝望的时刻，

会看到这脚印而振作起来。

那么，让我们起来干吧，

对任何命运要敢于担戴；

不断地进取，不断地追求，

要善于劳动，善于等待。

《人生颂》一诗是朗费罗最著名的抒情诗之一。它首次发表在一份

名为《内克波克》（Knickbocker Magazine）的杂志上，后来收入诗

人的第一部诗集《夜吟》中。该诗以一位年轻人的口吻来表达诗人

对人生的见解（避免了诗人直接说教之嫌），在前两小节开门见山

，以什么是人生起笔，诗人同时故意设置一个悲观人生论的“歌者”作

为批驳的对象，反对将肉体的必死性作为把人生视为一场幻多的因

由，以恢复生命的灵性维度来维护人生的现实意义。因此，这两节

已经预示了下面要进一步引申的两点内容：一是如何对待生命的时

间性，二是如何认识和评定这样的生命。所以，从第三小节开始，

诗人以如何度过人生为承接，开始阐释全诗的主题，指出人生的目

标和道路在于行动和不断的自我超越。人生既然是真刃而实在的，

那么就应该“趁着活生生的现在”而行动，就应该做一个敢于面对一切

现实的“威武善战的英雄”。在第七、八小节，诗转入到对人生价值

的诠释上，以说明人生要如此度过的终极意义——那些伟大的勇敢者

的生命划出的轨迹终究不会消失，它留在“时间的沙上”（即人类的历

史上），给后人带来永恒的启示。第九小节是对全诗的总结，呼吁

人们行动起来，不断追求，不断进取，以拥有一个有意义有价值的

人生。从整体结构上看，全诗层层递进，环环相扣，起承转合，十

分自然，体现出诗人不凡的技巧和构思。

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FAILURE

Robert H. Schuller

Failure doesn t mean you are a failure,

It does mean you haven t succeeded yet.

Failure doesn t mean you have accomplished nothing,

It does mean you have learned something.

Failure doesn t mean you have been a fool,

It does mean you had a lot of faith.

Failure doesn t mean you ve been disgraced,

It does mean you were willing to try.

Failure doesn t mean you don t have it,

It does mean you have to do something in a different way.

Failure doesn t mean you are inferior,

It does mean you are not perfect.

Failure doesn t mean you ve wasted your life,

It does mean you have a reason to start afresh.

Failure doesn t mean you should give up,

It does mean you must try harder.

Failure doesn t mean you ll never make it,

It does mean it will take a little longer.

Failure doesn t mean God has abandoned you,

It does mean God has a better idea.

它只表明你尚未成功。

失败并不代表你一无所获，

它只表明你吸取了一次教训。

失败并不代表你很愚蠢，

它只表明你信心百倍。

失败并不代表你无脸见人，

它只表明你百折不回。

失败并不代表你工夫白费，

失败并不代表成功永不属于你，

它只表明你要付出更多的时间。

Clear Your Mental Space

Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion---like stress, anger, or frustration. What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your mind cluttered with thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?

The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Yes, that’s right, stop. Whatever you’re doing, stop and sit for one minute. While you’re sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion.

Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Don’t cheat yourself here. Take the entire minute---but only one minute---to do nothing else but feel that emotion.?

When the minute is over, ask yourself, “Am I willing to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day?”

Once you’ve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really fell it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly.

If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion.

When you feel you’ve had enough of it, ask yourself if you’re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath.?

Try it. Next time you’re in the middle of a negative emotion, give yourself the space to feel it and see what happens. Keep a piece of paper with you that says what you are thinking about.

This will remind you of the steps to the process. Remember; take the time you need to really immerse yourself in the emotion. Then, when you feel you’ve felt it enough, release it---really let go of it. You will be surprised at how quickly you can move on from a negative situation and get to what you really want to do!

清理心灵的空间

想下你最近一次感受到的消极情绪，例如压力，愤怒或挫折。当你处于那种消极情绪时你在想些什么？是充满了混乱的思绪？还是陷于麻木，无法思考？

下次当你发现自己处于非常紧张的状态时，或是你感到气愤或受挫时，停下来。是的，对，停下来。不管你在做什么，停下来坐上一分钟。坐着的时候，让自己完全沉浸在那种消极情绪之中。?

让那种消极情绪吞噬你，给自己一分钟的时间去真切地体会那种情绪，不要欺骗自己。花整整一分钟的时间 – 但只有一分钟 – 去体会那种情绪，别的什么也不要做。

当一分钟结束时，问自己：“我是否想在今天余下的时间里继续保持这种消极情绪？”

一旦你允许自己完全沉浸在那种情绪当中并真切体会到它，你就会惊奇地发现那种情绪很快就消失了。

如果你觉得还需要点时间来保持那种情绪，没关系，再给自己一分钟的时间去体会它。

如果你觉得自己已经充分体会了那种情绪，那就问自己是否愿意在今天余下的时间里继续保持这种消极情绪。如果不愿意，那就深呼吸。呼气的时候，把所有的消极情绪都释放出去。

你下次笼罩消极情绪时，试一下这种做法，给自己一点空间来体会那种情绪并看看会发生什么。随身带一张写下你的感想。这会提醒你该怎样去做。记住，要花你所需要的时间去真正沉浸于那种情绪之中。然后，当你感到自己已经充分体会到了它。你会惊奇地发现，你很快就能摆脱消极情绪，并开始做你真正想做的事情！
