、An IllusionWilliam S. MaughamIt is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those whohave lost it; but the young know they are wretched, for they arefull of the truthless ideals which have been instilled into them,and each time they come in contact with the real they are bruisedand wounded. It looks as if they were victims of a conspiracy; forthe books they read, ideal by the necessity of selection, and theconversation of their elders, who look back upon the past through arosy haze of forgetfulness, prepare them for an unreal life. They must discover for themselves that all they have read and allthey have been told are lies, lies, lies; and each discovery isanother nail drivens into the body on the cross of life. The strangething is that each one who has gone through that bitterdisillusionment add to it in his turn,, unconsciously, by the powerwithin him which is stronger than himself. ―――――――――――一種錯覺威廉. S. 毛姆認為青春是快樂的,這是一種錯覺,是那些失去了青春的人的一種錯覺。
年輕人知道,自己是不幸的,他們腦子里充斥了被灌輸的不切實際的想法,每次與現實接觸時,都會碰的頭破血流。似乎,他們是某種陰謀的犧牲者:那些他們所讀過的精挑細選的書,那些長輩們談起的因遺忘而蒙上玫瑰色薄霧的往事,都為年輕人提供了一種不真實的生活。
他們必須自己發現,所有他們讀到的、聽到的東西,都是謊言、謊言、謊言。每一次的這樣的發現,都像是另一根釘子釘入他們的身體,那被束縛在生活的十字架上的身體。
可是奇怪的是,每個曾經被這種錯覺折磨過的人,輪到他們時,有一種不可控制的力量,讓他們不自覺地為別人增添這種錯覺。 ―――――――――――威廉. S. 毛姆(1874-1965),英國著名小說家、劇作家、散文家。
原先攻讀醫學,后轉而致力寫作。他的文章常常在譏諷中潛藏著對人性的憐憫與同情。

--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 亨利.沃茲渥斯.朗費羅 The day is cold,and dark,and dreary; It rains,and the wind is never weary; The vine still clings to the moldering wall, But at every gust the dead leaves fall, And the day is dark and dreary. My life is cold and dark and dreary; It rains and the wind is never weary; My though still cling to the moldering past, But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast, And the days are dark and dreary. Be still,sad heart!And cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shining; Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary. 天冷、陰暗、沉悶; 下著雨,風也刮個不停; 藤還攀附著頹垣殘壁, 每來一陣狂風,枯葉附落紛紛, 天真是陰暗而沉悶。
我的生活寒冷、陰郁、沉悶; 下著雨,風也刮個不停; 我的思想還糾纏著消逝的往事, 大風里,我的青春希望相繼熄滅, 天真是陰暗而沉悶。 安靜吧,憂傷的心!別再悔恨; 烏云后面太陽依然輝煌燦爛; 你命運和大家的一樣, 每個人一生都得逢上陰雨, 有些日子必然陰暗而沉悶。
Henry David Thoreau/享利.大衛.梭羅 However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. 不論你的生活如何卑賤,你要面對它生活,不要躲避它,更別用惡言咒罵它。它不像你那樣壞。
你最富有的時候,倒是看似最窮。愛找缺點的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺點。
你要愛你的生活,盡管它貧窮。甚至在一個濟貧院里,你也還有愉快、高興、光榮的時候。
夕陽反射在濟貧院的窗上,像身在富戶人家窗上一樣光亮;在那門前,積雪同在早春融化。我只看到,一個從容的人,在哪里也像在皇宮中一樣,生活得心滿意足而富有愉快的思想。
城鎮中的窮人,我看,倒往往是過著最獨立不羈的生活。也許因為他們很偉大,所以受之無愧。
大多數人以為他們是超然的,不靠城鎮來支援他們;可是事實上他們是往往利用了不正當的手段來對付生活,他們是毫不超脫的,毋寧是不體面的。視貧窮如園中之花而像圣人一樣耕植它吧!不要找新的花樣,無論是新的朋友或新的衣服,來麻煩你自己。
找舊的,回到那里去。萬物不變,是我們在變。
你的衣服可以賣掉,但要保留你的思想。愛情的見證 Love's Witness Slight unpremeditated Words are borne By every common Wind into the Air; Carelessly utter'd, die as soon as born, And in one instant give both Hope and Fear: Breathing all Contraries with the same Wind According to the Caprice of the Mind. But Billetdoux are constant Witnesses, Substantial Records to Eternity; Just Evidences,who the Truth confess, On which the Lover safely may rely; They're serious Thoughts,digested and resolv'd; And last,when Words are into Clouds devolv'd. 不加思索的輕率話語, 被每一次平凡的呼吸載入空氣; 隨便說說,剛出口即消失, 一瞬間給人希望和恐懼: 同一氣息呼出萬般矛盾心腸, 追隨心靈無常的遐想。
但情書則是恒常的見證, 直至永恒的實體記錄; 公道的證物,它道出真誠, 戀人能在其上安心依附; 它們是嚴肅的思想,經過深思熟慮; 當話語在云外消失,它們還將延續。 --------------------------- 從不說他做不到 We Never Told Him He Couldn't Do It My son Joey was born with club feet. The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally - but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldn't know he had a problem when you saw him walk . The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldn't be able to run as well as the other children. So he didn't know. In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he trained 。

Three passionsThree passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair. I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy –ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what- at last- I have found.With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flu. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.三種激情 -----羅素三種激情雖然簡單,卻異常強烈,它們統治著我的生命,那便是:對愛的渴望,對知識的追求,以及對人類苦難的難以承受的同情。
這三種激情像變化莫測的狂風任意地把我刮來刮去,把我刮入痛苦的深海,到了絕望的邊緣。我曾經尋找愛,首先是因為它能使我欣喜若狂——這種喜悅之情如此強烈,使我常常寧愿為這幾個小時的愉悅而犧牲生命中的其他一切。
我尋求愛,其次是因為愛能解除孤獨——在這種可怕的孤獨中,一顆顫抖的良心在世界的邊緣,注視著下面冰涼、毫無生氣、望不見底的深淵。我尋求愛還因為在愛的融合中,我能以某種神秘的圖像看到曾被圣人和詩人想象過的天堂里未來的景象。
這就是我所追求的東西,雖然這似乎對于人類的生命來說過于完美,但這確實是我最終發現的東西。 我懷著同樣的激情去尋找知識,我曾渴望著理解人心,我曾渴望知道為何星星會閃爍,我還企圖弄懂畢達哥拉斯所謂的用數字控制變化的力量,但在這方面,我只知道一點點。
愛的力量和知識的力量引我接近天堂,但同情之心往往又把我拉回大地。痛苦的哭泣回響、震蕩在我的心中。
饑餓的兒童,被壓迫、受折磨的人們,成為兒孫們討厭的包袱的、無助的老人們,充斥著整個世界的孤獨的氣氛,貧窮和苦難,所有這一切都是對人類生活原本該具有的樣子所作的諷刺。我渴望消除一切邪惡,但我辦不到,因為我自己也處于苦難之中。
這就是我的生活,我認為值得一過。而且,如果有第二次機會,我將樂意地再過一次。

The Power of Gratitude (感恩的力量) When my older son was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, my first reaction was relief - I finally knew the reason for his behavior. However, I was also overwhelmed with sadness, fear and anger. I felt sorry for my son and for myself. Like many others in similar circumstances, my question to God was "Why me?" Through the grace of God, I am now able to focus on my gratitude. I believe God chose me to raise my son because He knew that I would give him the best I have. He will teach me to love and understand him for who he is. I am grateful that I have my son, and grateful that God chose me to be his mother. There is power and healing in gratitude. How can gratitude help us in our everyday lives as moms? Think about the difference you can make in your family's life just by noticing and being thankful for all the great things they do. When you express gratitude, you show your love and appreciation. Everyone needs to feel these things every day. Sometimes as moms we feel that no one appreciates us - and it is true that moms are usually last on the list to be thanked. One way you can teach gratitude is by example. Even on the days when it seems your children or husband are doing everything wrong, find a reason to thank them. Take the time and energy to look for the good. Think about the things that your family does that deserve a “Thank you.” You might say to your husband, “Thank you for working so hard for our family," or, to your child, “I really appreciate your sense of humor - it feels good to laugh.” Expressing your gratitude helps family members to understand how it feels to be appreciated. And if they still don't catch on, let them know when you feel unappreciated. You can also tell them how great it makes you feel when they do express gratitude. Gratitude is a wonderful motivator when you need cooperation. When enlisting the help of my two year old, I praise him often and with enthusiasm. I let him know that he is a great helper. I know I am teaching him appreciation because he expresses it to me. The other day I brought a bunch of multi-colored roses home. For five days, at least once or twice a day, my son thanked me for the flowers. Sometimes we get so busy and caught up in daily life that we forget to be grateful. We expect everyone to do their share without being asked. The only time anyone hears anything is when a chore has not been completed. This attitude, over the long haul, will develop very resentful and uncooperative family members. When life is good, gratitude is easy. It becomes more challenging to be grateful when we are experiencing hard times. Financial hardship, long-term illness, the death of a loved one and marital strife can all be trying and difficult. It is hard to find anything to be grateful for. But while pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. We have a choice in how we view our circumstances. We can turn our hearts to God and trust that he has a plan for us. We can be thankful for the lessons we learn and the opportunities for personal growth and transformation. Look at all the people in this world who share the gifts they received during especially difficult times of their life. It is the painful times of my life that have made me stronger, wiser, and more loving today. I recently attended a powerful seminar on the various levels of energy that a human being emanates. The presenter identified seven different levels of energy. The first level of energy is defined by feelings of apathy and thoughts of victimization. A person at a level two energy has feelings of anger and thoughts of conflict. As a person moves up the energy scale, their feelings and thoughts are more positive. At level seven, one would experience unconditional love and no judgmental thoughts. Only God radiates at level seven. The average person emits energy at a level of 2.5. To experience peace and joy, an in- dividual must raise his energy level to 5 or 6. So how can we raise our energy level and open our heart to joy? One powerful way is to develop an attitude of gratitude. Look at every- one with grateful eyes. Listen to your heart and the heart of your loved ones. Speak words of affirmation every day of your life. Be grateful for your life with all its lessons and blessings. The more grateful thoughts and feelings you experience and express the more instrumental you will be in healing the world. And your outlook on life will improve in the process. 展開。

這有一片挺好的,不過是短文,不知道介不介意。
《Life and society》 I have a friend, he said: "life is just a game, as long as you're not careful, soon will be found out." This is right. In life, many vain, even no one. To ask why this is, don't die because of his selfishness? Have a nasty suspects, nearly backed up 17 times, sitting in jail for nearly 15 times. He repeated illegal reason is betrayed by friends, relatives, and on the streets. Criminal in jail can eat into things, at least somewhere. This society is reduced to what extent, forced to by law and fine person is chilling. Yes, social science and technology are developed now. But look on the streets, where not a beggar, where not the woebegone expression. Why do I feel unworthy for them, because these trivial things of life. As long as the life is full of hope, the harvest is not good and happiness? The idea and who can understand, and who really did it? I sincerely hope that society can become kind and beautiful. Also can make the populace to live and work in peace and contentment.大意: 《生活與社會》 我有一個朋友,他這樣說道:“人生不過就是一場游戲,只要稍不留神,就會很快被判出局。”
這一點沒錯。在生活中,許多人愛慕虛榮,甚至變得六親不認。
要問這是為什麼,難道不死因為自己的私心嗎?有一個齷齪的嫌疑犯,將近犯法17次,坐牢坐了將近15次。他屢次犯法的原因就是被朋友、親人背叛,流落街頭。
起碼犯法坐牢能吃到東西,有容身之處。這個社會是落魄到什麼程度,逼得好好的人卻要靠犯法為生,實在是讓人心寒。
是呀,現在的社會科技是發達了。但在街頭放眼望去,哪里不是乞丐,哪里不是人們愁眉苦臉的神情。
我真為他們感到不值,為什麼因為這些生活的瑣事而煩惱。只要對生活充滿希望,收獲到的不就是美好與幸福的嗎?這種想法誰又能理解,誰又真正做到了呢? 我真誠地希望社會能變得善良、美好。
也能使平民們安居樂業。
