The Road of Life
生活之路
The lives of most men are determined by their environment. They accept the circumstances amid which fate has thrown them not only with resignation but even with good will.They are like streetcars running contentedly on theirrails and they despise the sprightly flitter that dashes in and out of the traffic and speeds so jauntily across the open country. I respect them; they are good citizens, good husbands, and good fathers, and of course somebody has to pay the taxes;
大多數(shù)人的生活都是由他們所處的環(huán)境決定的。他們順從地甚至樂意地接受命運(yùn)把他們所扔進(jìn)的環(huán)境。他們就像電車一樣滿足地行駛在他們的軌道上,并且瞧不起那些敏捷地出沒車水馬龍中的快樂地奔馳于曠野上的車子。我尊重他們,他們是好公民、好丈夫和好父親,當(dāng)然總得要有人來交稅。
but I do not find them exciting. I am fascinated by the men, few enough in all conscience, who take life in their own hands and seem to mould it to their own liking. It maybe that we have no such thing as free will, but at all events, we have the illusion of it. At a cross-road it does seem to us that we might go either to the right or the left and, the choice once made, it is difficult to see that the whole course of the world's history obliged us to take the tuming we did.
但是,他們并沒有令人興奮的地方。我被另外一些人深深吸引,他們將命運(yùn)掌握在自己的手中,并且似乎把它改造成他們所喜歡的樣子,這樣的人是很少的。而或許我們并沒有所謂的自由意志,但不管怎樣我們總有那樣的幻覺。在一個(gè)十字路口前,似乎我們可以走這條路也可以走那一條路,不過_旦作出選擇,我們很難意識(shí)到其實(shí)是整個(gè)世界歷史進(jìn)程迫使我們選擇那個(gè)方向的。
