英文賞析:真正的高貴(海明威)
True Nobility
In a calm sea every man is a pilot
But all sunshine without shade
all pleasure without pain
is not life at all
Take the lot of the happiest
-it is a tangled yarn
Bereavements and blessings
one following another
make us sad and blessed by turns
Even death itself makes life more loving
Men come closest to their true seives in the sober moments of life
under the shadows of sorrow and loss
In the affairs of life or of business
it is not intellect that tells so much as character
not brains so much as heart
not genius so much as self-control
patience
and discipline
regulated by judgment
I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more serio
-usly within begins to live more simply without
In an age of extravagance and waste
I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are
To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance
There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man
The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self
真正的高貴(海明威)
在風(fēng)平浪靜的海面上
每一個人都可以成為領(lǐng)航員
但是假如只有陽光而沒有陰影
只有歡樂而沒有痛苦
那就全然不是人生
就拿最幸福的人來說吧
——他們的`命運是一團糾纏的紗線
喪親之痛和神恩賜福此起彼伏
讓我們悲歡交替
甚至連死亡本身都讓人生更為可愛
人們在生命的莊嚴(yán)時刻
在哀傷和喪親的陰影之下
最接近真實的自我
在生活或事業(yè)的各種事務(wù)之中
才智的效用遠(yuǎn)不如性格
頭腦的效用遠(yuǎn)不如心性
天資遠(yuǎn)不如由判斷力所約束的自制、耐心與教養(yǎng)
我一向認(rèn)為
內(nèi)心開始生活得更為嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)娜?/p>
他外在的生活會開始變得更為簡樸
在一個奢侈浪費的時代
但愿我能夠向世人表明：
人類真正的需求是多么的稀少
反思自己的過錯
以至于不重蹈覆轍才是真正的悔悟
比他人優(yōu)越并無任何高貴之處
真正的高貴在于超越過去的自我
