　　What I have Lived for

　　我為何而生

　　Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly(壓倒地，無(wú)法抵抗地) 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(到處), in a wayward(任性的，不規(guī)則的) course, over a deep ocean ofanguish(極度的痛苦), reaching to the very verge of despair.

　　有三種情感，單純而強(qiáng)烈，支配著我的一生：對(duì)愛情的渴望，對(duì)知識(shí)的追求，以及對(duì)人類苦難不可遏制的同情。這些感情如陣陣巨風(fēng)，挾卷著我在漂泊不定的路途中東飄西蕩，飛越苦悶的汪洋大海，直抵絕望的邊緣。

　　I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy(狂喜，忘形)---ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours for this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness---that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim(邊緣) of the world into the cold unfathomable(深得無(wú)法到達(dá)底部的) lifeless abyss(深淵). I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature(微小模型), the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints(圣人) and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what---at least---I have found.

　　我之所以追尋愛情，首先，愛情使人心醉神迷，如此美妙的感覺，以致使我時(shí)常為了體驗(yàn)幾小時(shí)愛的喜悅，而寧愿獻(xiàn)出生命中其它一切;其次，愛情可以解除孤獨(dú)，身歷那種可怕孤寂的人的戰(zhàn)栗意識(shí)，會(huì)穿過(guò)世界的邊緣，直望入冰冷死寂的無(wú)底深淵;較后，置身于愛的結(jié)合，我在一個(gè)神秘縮影中看到了圣賢與詩(shī)人們所預(yù)想的天堂。這正是我所追尋的，盡管它對(duì)于人類的生活或許太過(guò)美好，卻是我的較終發(fā)現(xiàn)。

　　With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend(理解) the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux(不穩(wěn)定的狀態(tài)). A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.

　　我也以同樣的熱情追求知識(shí)。我渴望理解人類的心靈，渴望知道星辰為何閃耀，我還試圖領(lǐng)略畢達(dá)哥拉斯關(guān)于哪些數(shù)字在變遷之上保持著永恒的智慧。在這一方面，我取得了一點(diǎn)成果，但并不算多。

　　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(回響，回蕩) in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors(壓迫者), helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery(嘲弄) of what human life should be. I long to alleviate(減輕) the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.

　　愛情與知識(shí)，盡其可能，引領(lǐng)著我通往天堂;然而憐憫總是把我?guī)Щ噩F(xiàn)實(shí)。那些痛苦的呼喚在我內(nèi)心深處回響。饑餓中的孩子，被壓迫和折磨的人們，給子女造成重?fù)?dān)的無(wú)助老人，以及孤獨(dú)、貧窮和痛苦的整個(gè)世界，都是對(duì)人類理想生活的嘲諷。我渴望能減少這些不幸，但無(wú)能為力，這也是我的痛苦。

　　This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.

　　這就是我的一生。我發(fā)現(xiàn)人生是值得的;而且如果能夠再有一次這樣的機(jī)會(huì)，我會(huì)欣然接受。
