第二篇：英文 人生如诗

《一 》人生如诗 Chapter One Human Life Like a Poem

Chapter One Human Life Like a Poem

[00:09.07]I think that, from a biological standpoint,

[00:13.89]human life almost reads like a poem.

[00:16.95]It has its own rhythm and beat,

[00:20.12]its internal cycles of growth and decay.

[00:23.08]No one can say that a life with childhood,

[00:26.69]manhood and old age is not a beautiful arrangement;

[00:30.41]the day has its morning, noon and sunset,

[00:34.35]and the year has its seasons, and it is good

[00:37.63]that it is so. There is no good or bad in life,

[00:41.90]except what is good according to its own season.

[00:45.40]And if we take this biological view of life

[00:49.12]and try to live according to the seasons,

[00:52.51]no one but a conceited fool or an impossible idealist

[00:56.34]can deny that human life can be lived like a poem.

[01:01.59] ——Lin Yutang

[01:12.53]We Are on a Journey

[01:14.39]By Henry Van Dyke

[01:16.38]Wherever you are, and whoever you may be,

[01:20.30]there is one thing in which you and I are

[01:23.14]just alike,at this moment, and in all the moments

[01:27.19]of our existence.We are not at rest;

[01:30.03]we are on a journey. Our life is not a mere fact;

[01:34.63]it is a movement, a tendency, a steady,

[01:38.24]ceaseless progress towards an unseen goal.

[01:41.63]We are gaining something, or losing something, every day.

[01:45.02]Even when our position and our character seem to

[01:49.07]remain precisely the same, they are changing.

[01:52.46]For the mere advance of time is a change.

[01:55.41]It is not the same thing to have a bare field

[01:58.37]in January and in July. The season makes the difference.

[02:02.42]The limitations that are childlike in the child are childish

[02:06.90]in the man.Everything that we do is a step

[02:10.95]in one direction or another. Even the failure to do something

[02:15.65]is in itself a deed. It sets us forward or backward.

[02:20.70]The action of the negative pole of a magnetic needle is

[02:24.85]just as real as the action of the positive pole.

[02:27.80]To decline is to accept — the other alternative.

[02:31.74]Are you nearer to your port today than you were yesterday?

[02:35.79]Yes, — you must be a little nearer to some port or other;

[02:39.83]for since your ship was first launched upon

[02:42.79]the sea of life you have never been still

[02:45.08]for a single moment; the sea is too deep,

[02:48.04]you could not find an anchorage if you would;

[02:51.32]there can be no pause until you come into port.

The True Nobility

[00:07.00]By Ernest Hemingway

[00:08.53]In a calm sea every man is a pilot.

[00:12.80]But all sunshine without shade,

[00:15.86]all pleasure without pain, is not life at all.

[00:19.58]Take the lot of the happiest — it is a tangled yarn.

[00:24.34]Bereavements and blessings, one following another,

[00:28.05]make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself

[00:32.76]makes life more loving. Men come closest to

[00:36.81]their true selves in the sober moments of life,

[00:40.09]under the shadows of sorry and loss.

[00:43.26]In the affairs of life or of business,

[00:47.10]it is not intellect that tells so much as character,

[00:50.05]not brains so much as heart, not genius so much

[00:53.88]as self-control, patience, and discipline,

[00:56.94]regulated by judgment.I have always believed that

[01:01.75]the man who has begun to live more seriously

[01:04.60]within begins to live more simply without.

[01:08.32]In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish

[01:12.03]I could show to the world how few

[01:14.11]the real wants of humanity are.To regret

[01:18.04]one’s errors to the point of not repeating them

[01:20.45]is true repentance. There is nothing noble in being

[01:23.84]superior to some other man. The true nobility is

[01:27.78]in being superior to your previous self.

\The World as I See It

[00:07.20]By Albert Einstein

[00:08.85]How strange is the lot of us mortals!

[00:12.24]Each of us is here for a brief sojourn;

[00:14.97]for what purpose he knows not, though he

[00:17.71]sometimes thinks he senses it. But without

[00:20.67]deeper reflection one knows from daily life

[00:24.28]that one exists for other people —

[00:26.68]first of all for those upon whose smiles

[00:29.97]and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent,

[00:33.14]and then for the many, unknown to us,

[00:36.07]to whose destinies we are bound by

[00:38.48]the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day

[00:42.09]I remind myself that my inner and outer life

[00:45.26]are based on the labors of other men, living and dead,

[00:48.87]and that I must exert myself in order to give

[00:52.16]in the same measure as I have received

[00:54.89]and am still receiving. I am strongly drawn

[00:58.83]to a frugal life and am often oppressively

[01:02.11]aware that I am engrossing an undue amount

[01:04.95]of the labor of my fellow-men. I regard

[01:08.02]class distinctions as unjustified and,

[01:10.97]in the last resort, based on force. I also

[01:14.26]believe that a simple and unassuming life

[01:16.66]is good for everybody, physically and mentally.

[01:19.73]I do not at all believe in human freedom

[01:23.45]in the philosophical sense. Everybody acts

[01:26.94]not only under external compulsion but also

[01:29.79]in accordance with inner necessity. Schopenhauer’s saying,

[01:33.95]that “A man can do what he wants, but not want

[01:36.58]what he wants,” has been a very real inspiration

[01:40.84]to me since my youth; it has been a continual consolation

[01:45.33]in the face of life’s hardships, my own and others’,

[01:49.48]and an unfailing well-spring of tolerance.

[01:53.09]This realization mercifully mitigates the easily

[01:55.94]paralyzing sense of responsibility and prevents us from

[01:59.55]taking ourselves and other people all too seriously;

[02:03.92]it is conducive to a view of life which,

[02:06.44]in particular, gives humor its due.To inquire after

[02:11.48]the meaning or object of one’s own existence or

[02:15.63]that of all creatures has always seemed to me

[02:18.20]absurd from an objective point of view. And yet

[02:21.60]everybody has certain ideals which determine

[02:24.77]the direction of his endeavors and his judgments.

[02:28.93]In this sense I have never looked upon ease

[02:31.99]and happiness as ends in themselves —

[02:34.95]this ethical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty.

[02:39.10]The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time

[02:42.82]have given me new courage to face life cheerfully,

[02:46.00]have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. Without

[02:49.82]the sense of kinship with men of like mind, without

[02:53.11]the occupation with the objective world, the eternally

[02:56.72]unattainable in the field of art and scientific endeavors,

[03:00.55]life would have seemed to me empty. The trite objects

[03:05.14]of human efforts — possessions, outward success, luxury —

[03:11.49]have always seemed to me contemptible.

00:05.47]Love Your Life

[00:06.56]By Henry David Thoreau

[00:09.95]However mean your life is, meet it and live it;

[00:14.76]do not shun it and call it hard names.

[00:17.94]It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest

[00:21.22]when you are richest. The fault-finder will

[00:24.40]find faults in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is.

[00:29.20]You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling,

[00:32.27]glorious hours, even in a poor house. The setting sun

[00:36.21]is reflected from the windows of the almshouse

[00:38.95]as brightly as from the rich man’s abode;

[00:40.91]the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.

[00:44.52]I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,

[00:49.56]and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.

[00:53.16]The town’s poor seem to me often to live

[00:57.00]the most independent lives of any. Maybe they are simply

[01:00.06]great enough to receive without misgiving. Most think that

[01:04.54]they are above being supported by the town;

[01:07.06]but it often happens that they are not above

[01:09.25]supporting themselves by dishonest means,

[01:12.09]which should be more disreputable. Cultivate poverty

[01:15.81]like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much

[01:19.97]to get new things, whether clothes or friends.

[01:23.36]Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change.

[01:28.39]Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

[00:05.37]The Road to Happiness

[00:06.90]By Bertrand Russell

[00:09.09]If you look around at the men and women

[00:12.05]whom you can call happy, you will see that

[00:14.68]they all have certain things in common.

[00:17.52]The most important of these things is an activity

[00:20.04]which at most gradually builds up something that

[00:23.54]you are glad to see coming into existence.

[00:26.38]Women who take an instinctive pleasure in their children

[00:29.56]can get this kind of satisfaction out of

[00:32.29]bringing up a family. Artists and authors

[00:35.25]and men of science get happiness in this way

[00:38.20]if their own work seems good to them. But there are

[00:41.59]many humbler forms of the same kind of pleasure.

[00:44.87]Many men who spend their working life in the city

[00:48.92]devote their weekends to voluntary and unremunerated

[00:53.18]toil in their gardens, and when the spring comes,

[00:55.48]they experience all the joys of having created beauty.

[00:58.98]The whole subject of happiness has, in my opinion,

[01:03.58]been treated too solemnly. It had been thought that

[01:07.52]man cannot be happy without a theory of life or a religion.

[01:11.13]Perhaps those who have been rendered unhappy by a bad theory

[01:15.73]may need a better theory to help them to recovery,

[01:19.00]just as you may need a tonic when you have been ill.

[01:22.40]But when things are normal a man should be healthy

[01:26.88]without a tonic and happy without a theory.

[01:29.84]It is the simple things that really matter.

[01:33.01]If a man delights in his wife and children,

[01:36.07]has success in work, and finds pleasure in

[01:38.81]the alternation of day and night, spring and autumn,

[01:41.76]he will be happy whatever his philosophy may be. If,

[01:46.36]on the other hand, he finds his wife fateful, his

[01:49.42]children’s noise unendurable, and the office a nightmare;

[01:53.03]if in the daytime he longs for night, and at night sighs

[01:57.34]for the light of day, then what he needs is not a new philosophy

[02:01.61]but a new regimen — a different diet, or more exercise,

[02:05.44]or what not.Man is an animal, and his happiness

[02:09.27]depends on his physiology more than he likes to think.

[02:12.66]This is a humble conclusion, but I cannot make myself

[02:16.49]disbelieve it. Unhappy businessmen, I am convinced,

[02:21.19]would increase their happiness more by walking six miles

[02:24.37]every day than by any conceivable change of philosophy.

00:05.58]Work, Labor, and Play

[00:07.44]By Wystan Hugh Auden

[00:10.94]So far as I know, Miss Hannah Arendt was

[00:14.11]the first person to define the essential difference

[00:16.84]between work and labor. To be happy, a man must feel,

[00:20.57]firstly, free and, secondly, important. He cannot

[00:25.38]be really happy if he is compelled by society to do

[00:28.88]what he does not enjoy doing, or if what he enjoys doing

[00:32.38]is ignored by society as of no value or importance.

[00:36.65]In a society where slavery in the strict sense

[00:39.49]has been abolished, the sign that what a man does

[00:42.01]is of social value is that he is paid money to do it,

[00:45.95]but a laborer today can rightly be called a wage slave.

[00:49.45]A man is a laborer if the job society offers him is

[00:53.28]of no interest to himself but he is compelled to

[00:55.91]take it by the necessity of earning a living

[00:58.31]and supporting his family.The antithesis to labor is play.

[01:01.26]When we play a game, we enjoy what we are doing,

[01:06.39]otherwise we should not play it, but it is

[01:09.23]a purely private activity; society could not care less

[01:12.51]whether we play it or not.Between labor and play stands work.

[01:17.11]A man is a worker if he is personally interested in the job

[01:21.38]which society pays him to do; what from the point of view of society

[01:24.11]is necessary labor is from his own point of view voluntary play.

[01:31.33]Whether a job is to be classified as labor or work depends,

[01:34.39]not on the job itself, but on the tastes of the individual

[01:38.11]who undertakes it. The difference does not, for example,

[01:42.27]coincide with the difference between a manual and mental job;

[01:45.88]a gardener or a cobbler may be a worker, a bank clerk a laborer.

[01:49.82]Which a man is can be seen from his attitude toward leisure.

[01:54.41]To a worker, leisure means simply the hours he needs

[01:58.35]to relax and rest in order to work efficiently.

[02:01.74]He is therefore more likely to take too little leisure

[02:03.87]than too much; workers die of coronaries and forget

[02:07.81]their wives’ birthdays. To the laborer, on the other hand,

[02:11.86]leisure means freedom from compulsion, so that it is natural

[02:15.25]for him to imagine that the fewer hours he has to spend laboring,

[02:18.75]and the more hours he is free to play, the better.
