Excerpts

谈修养

On Cultivation

"朝抵抗力最大的路径走。 Take the path of greatest resistance. 此身、此时、此地。此身应该做而且能够做的事,就得由此身担当起。 This self, this moment, this place—what you can and should do must be undertaken by yourself. 与其读十部书浅尝辄止,不如精读一部。 Better to master one book than to skim ten. 读书是把几千年的人类经验集中到一人身上去受用。 Reading condenses thousands of years of human experience into one individual. 人所以可贵,就在他不像猪豚,被饲而肥,他能够不安于污浊的环境,拿力量来改变它、征服它。 What makes man noble is that, unlike pigs fattened by feeding, he refuses to resign himself to a corrupt environment and strives to change and conquer it with his own strength. 幸福的世界里决没有愚蠢者、怯懦者和懒惰者的地位。 In a world of happiness, there is no place for the foolish, the cowardly, and the lazy."

谈美

On Beauty

"美是事物的最有价值的一面,美感的经验是人生中最有价值的一面。 Beauty is the most valuable aspect of things, and aesthetic experience is the most valuable part of life. 美和实际人生有一个距离,要见出事物本身的美,须把它摆在适当的距离之外去看。 Beauty maintains a distance from real life. To perceive the inherent beauty of things, we must view them from an appropriate distance. 欣赏之中都寓有创造,创造之中也都寓有欣赏。 Creation inheres in appreciation, and appreciation inheres in creation. 美不是在物,而是在心。 Beauty lies not in the object, but in the mind. 实用的世界是功利的,审美的世界是自由的。 The practical world is utilitarian; the aesthetic world is free. 艺术并不是现实的复制,而是现实的再创造。 Art is not a copy of reality, but a re-creation of it."

飞鸟集

Stray Birds

"如果你因失去了太阳而流泪,那么你也将失去群星了。 If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars. 你微微地笑着,不同我说什么话。而我觉得,为了这个,我已等待得久了。 You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long. 每一个孩子出生时都带来信息说:神对人并未灰心失望。 Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man. 只管走过去,不必逗留着采了花朵来保存,因为一路上,花朵自会继续开放的。 Do not linger to gather flowers to keep them, but walk on, for flowers will keep themselves blooming all your way. 如果你把所有的错误都关在门外时,真理也要被关在门外面了。 If you shut your door to all errors truth will be shut out. 她的热切的脸,如夜雨似的,搅扰着我的梦魂。 Her wishful face haunts my dreams like the rain at night. 阴雨的黄昏,风无休止地吹着。我看着摇曳的树枝,感念着万物的伟大。 This rainy evening the wind is restless. I look at the swaying branches and ponder over the greatness of all things. 生命从世界得到资产,爱情使它得到价值。 Life finds its wealth by the claims of the world, and its worth by the claims of love. 采着花瓣时,得不到花的美丽。 By plucking her petals you do not gather the beauty of the flower."
