1. “To Be or Not to Be”. Outside the Bible, these six words are the most famous in all the literature of the world.
“生存還是毀滅。”如果把《圣經(jīng)》除外，這六個(gè)字便是整個(gè)世界文學(xué)中最有名的六個(gè)字了。
2. They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but also for every thinking man and woman.
這六個(gè)字是哈姆雷特一次喃喃自語時(shí)說的，而這六個(gè)字也就成了莎士比亞作品中最有名的幾個(gè)字了，因?yàn)檫@里哈姆雷特不僅道出了他自己的心聲，同時(shí)也代表了一切有思想的男男女女。
think aloud!思考的過程中，偶爾會(huì)情不自禁地喃喃自語...3. To be or not to be, to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly and eagerly, or to live dully and meanly and scarcely.
是活還是不活——是要生活還是不要生活，是要生活得豐滿充實(shí)，興致勃勃，還是只是活得枯燥委瑣，貧乏無味。
怎樣個(gè)生活態(tài)度，頗費(fèi)思量...
4. A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally. He answered it by saying: "I think, therefore I am."
一位哲人一次曾想弄清他自己是否是在活著，這個(gè)問題我們每個(gè)人也大可不時(shí)地問問我們自己。這位哲學(xué)家對(duì)此的答案是： “我思故我在。”
這位哲學(xué)家是Rene Descartes，即大家熟知的笛卡爾，法國哲學(xué)家。
But the best definition of existence I ever saw was one given by another philosopher who said: "To be is to be in relations." 但是關(guān)于生存我所見過的一條最好的定義卻是另一位哲學(xué)家下的：“生活即是聯(lián)系。
5. If this true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive. ”
如果這話不假的話，那么一個(gè)有生命者的聯(lián)系越多，它也就越有生氣。
6. To live abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity of our relations.
所謂要活得豐富充實(shí)也即是要擴(kuò)大和加強(qiáng)我們的各種聯(lián)系。
7. Unfortunately we are so constituted that we get to love our routine.
不幸的是，我們往往會(huì)因?yàn)樘煨圆粔蜇S厚而容易陷入自己的陳規(guī)舊套。
8. But apart from our regular occupation how much are we alive?
試問除去我們的日常工作，我們的真正生活又有多少?
9. If you are interested only in your regular occupation, you are alive only to that extent.
如果你只是對(duì)你的日常工作才有興趣，那你的生趣也就很有限了。
10. So far as other things are concerned--poetry and prose, music, pictures, sports, unselfish friendships, politics, international affairs--you are dead.
至于在其它事物方面，比如詩歌、散文、音樂、美術(shù)、體育、無私的友誼、政治與國際事務(wù)，等等——你只是死人一個(gè)。
11. Contrariwise, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest--even more, a new accomplishment--you increase your power of life.
但反過來說，每當(dāng)你獲得一種新的興趣——甚至一項(xiàng)新的造詣——你就增長(zhǎng)了你的生活本領(lǐng)。
12. No one who is deeply interested in a large variety of subjects can remain unhappy; the real pessimist is the person who has lost interest.
no one...unhappy雙重否定
一個(gè)能對(duì)許許多多事物都深感興趣的人是不可能總不愉快的，真正的悲觀者只能是那些喪失興趣的人。
13. Bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend. 培根曾講過，一個(gè)人失去朋友即是死亡。
14. But we gain new life by contacts, new friends. 但是憑著交往，憑著新朋，我們就能獲得再生。
15. What is supremely true of living objects is only less true of ideas, which are also alive. 這條對(duì)于活人可謂千真萬確的道理在一定程度上也完全適用于人的思想，它們也都是活的。
16. Where your thoughts are, there will your live be also. 你的思想所在，你的生命便也在那里。
17. If your thoughts are confined only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to the narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live in a narrow cir-conscribed life. 如果你的思想不出你的業(yè)務(wù)范圍，不出你的物質(zhì)利益，不出你所在城鎮(zhèn)的狹隘圈子，那么你的一生便也只是多方受著局限的狹隘的一生。
18. But if you are interested in what is going on in China, then you are living in China~ if you’re interested in the characters of a good novel, then you are living with those highly interesting people, if you listen intently to fine music, you are away from your immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion and imagination.
但是如果你對(duì)當(dāng)前中國那里所發(fā)生的種種感到興趣，那么你便可說也活在中國；如果你對(duì)一本佳妙小說中的人物感到興趣，你便是活在一批極有趣的人們中間；如果你能全神貫注地聽點(diǎn)好的音樂，你就會(huì)超脫出你的周圍環(huán)境而活在一個(gè)充滿激情與想象的神奇世界之中。
19. To be or not to be--to live intensely and richly, merely to exist, that depends on ourselves.
生存還是毀滅——活得熱烈活得豐富，還是只是簡(jiǎn)單存在，這就全在我們自己。
20. Let widen and intensify our relations. While we live, let live!
但愿我們都能不斷擴(kuò)展和增強(qiáng)我們的各種聯(lián)系。只要一天我們活著，就要一天是在活著。
