最富有的时候,你的生活也是最贫穷的。吹毛求疵的人即便在天堂也能挑出瑕疵。一个安心的人在哪都可以过自得其乐的生活,抱着振奋乐观的思想,如同居住在皇宫一般。犯不着千辛万苦求新,无论衣服还是朋友。把旧的翻新,回到它们中去。万事万物没有变,是我们在变。
——节选自梭罗《瓦尔登湖》
我们每个人生在世界上都是孤独的。每个人都被囚禁在一座铁塔里,只能靠一些符号同别人传达自己的思想;而这些符号并没有共同的价值,因此它们的意义是模糊的、不确定的。我们非常可怜地想把自己心中的财富传送给别人,但是他们却没有接受这些财富的能力。因此我们只能孤独的行走,尽管身体相互依傍却并不在一起,既不了解别的人也不能为别人所了解。
——节选自毛姆《月亮和六便士》
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on that sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
LET life be beautiful like summer flowers
and death like autumn leaves.
THE artist is the lover of Nature,
therefore he is her slave
and her master.
'HOW far are you from me, O Fruit?'
'I am hidden in your heart, O Flower.'
'YOU are the big drop of dew under the lotus leaf,
I am the smaller one on its upper side,
' said the dewdrop to the lake.
THE scabbard is content to be dull
when it protects the keenness of the sword.
HE who wants to do good knocks at the gate;
he who loves
finds the gate open.
WHAT is this unseen flame of darkness
whose sparks are the stars?
THIS longing is for the one who is felt in the dark,
but not seen in the day.
IN darkness
the One appears as uniform;
in the light
the One appears as manifold.
IN death the many becomes one;
in life the one becomes many.
Religion will be one
when God is dead.
The pure.the bright,the beautiful,
一切纯洁的,辉煌的,美丽的,
That stirred our hearts in youth,
强烈地震撼着我们年轻的心灵的,
The impulses to wordless prayer,
推动着我们做无言的祷告的,
The dreams of love and truth;
让我们梦想着爱与真理的;
The longing after something's lost,
在失去后为之感到珍惜的,
The spirit's yearning cry,
使灵魂深切地呼喊着的,
The striving after better hopes-
为了更美好的梦想而奋斗着的-
These things can never die.
这些美好不会消逝。
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
羞怯地伸出援助的手,
A brother in his need,
在你的弟兄需要的时候,
A kindly word in grief's dark hour
伤恸、困难的时候,一句亲切的话
That proves a friend indeed ;
就足以证明朋友的真心;
The plea for mercy softly breathed,
轻声地乞求怜悯,
When justice threatens nigh,
在审判临近的时候,
The sorrow of a contrite heart-
懊悔的心有一种伤感--
These things shall never die.
这些美好不会消逝。
Let nothing pass for every hand
在人间传递温情
Must find some work to do ;
尽你所能地去做;
Lose not a chance to waken love-
别错失去了唤醒爱的良机
Be firm,and just ,and true;
为人要坚定,正直,忠诚;
So shall a light that cannot fade
因此上方照耀着你的那道光芒
Beam on thee from on high.
就不会消失。
And angel voices say to thee---
你将听到天使的声音在说
These things shall never die.
这些美好不会消逝。
我们三十岁的时候,
悲伤二十岁已经不再回来。
我们五十岁的年纪,
怀念三十岁的生日又多么美好。
当我们九十九岁时,
想到这一生的岁月如此安然度过,
可能快乐得如同——
一个没被抓到得贼一般嘿嘿偷笑。
相信生活和时间。
时间冲淡一切苦痛。
生活不一定创造更新的喜悦。
小孩子只想长大,
青年人恨不得赶快长出胡子,
中年人染头发,
高年人最不肯记得年纪。
出生是最明确的一场旅行。
死亡难道不是另一场出发?
成长是一种蜕变,
失去了旧的,
必然因为又来了新的,
这就是公平。
孩子和老人,在心灵的领域里,
比起其他阶段的人来说,
自由的多了。
因为他们相似。
岁月极美,
在于它必然的流逝。
春花、秋月、夏日、冬雪。
Let it be forgotten,as a flower is forgotten,
忘掉它,就像忘掉一朵花,
Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold.
就像忘掉炼过黄金的火焰,
Let it be forgotten forever and ever,
忘掉它,永远永远。
Time is a kind friend,he will make us old.
时间是良友,它会使我们变成老年。
If anyone asks,say it was forgotten
如果有人问起,就说已经忘记,
Long and long go,
在很早,很早的往昔
As a flower,as a fire,as a hushed footfall
像花,像火,像静静的足音
In a long-forgotten snow.
在早被遗忘的雪里。
