The Definition of a Gentleman

何謂君子

Hence it is, that it is almost a definition of a gentleman, to say he is one who never inflicts pain. This description is both refined and, as far as it goes, accurate. He is mainly occupied in merely removing the obstacles which hinder the free and unembarrassed action of those about him; and he concurs with their movements rather than takes the initiative himself. His benefits may be considered as parallel to what are called comforts or conveniences in arrangements of a personal nature: like an easy chair or a good fire, which do their part in dispelling cold and fatigue, though nature provides both means of rest and animal heat without them.

一個人行事而不給他人招致痛苦,則於君子之義相去無幾。上面這話既不失爲雅正,而所指範圍也極爲確切。他致力於爲他周圍的人解除行動障礙,使其行事自由自在;他總是與周圍的人行動一致,而不是搶佔風頭。而他所能給予的幫助也多少帶有主人待客的性質,即在照顧他人時,儘量使其舒適方便:彷彿安樂椅之能爲人解乏或一團爐火之能爲人祛寒;雖說沒有這些,自然仍能予人以其他休息與取暖之法。

He is never mean or little in his disputes, never takes unfair advantage, never mistakes personalities or sharp sayings for arguments or insinuates evil which he dare not say out. From a long sighted prudence, he observes the maxim of the ancient sage, that we should ever conduct ourselves towards our enemy as if he were one day to be our friend. He has too much good sense to be affronted at insults, he is too well employed to remember injuries, and too engaged to bear malice. He is patient, tolerant, and resigned, on philosophical principles; he submits to pain, because it is inevitable, to the death of family members, because it is irreparable, and to death, because it is his destiny. If he engages in controversy of any kind, his disciplined intellect preserves him from the blundering discourtesy of better, though less educated minds; who, like blunt weapons, tear and hack instead of cutting clean, who mistake the point in argument, waste their strength on trifles, misconceive their adversary, and leave the question more involved than they find it.

在與人辯論時他絲毫也不鄙吝偏狹,既不無道理地強佔上風,也不把個人意氣與尖刻詞語當成論據,或在不敢明言時惡毒暗示。他目光遠大,慎思熟慮,每每以古代哲人的格言爲自己的行動準則,即我們之對待仇人,須以異日爭取其做友人爲目標。他深明大義,故不因受辱而生氣,他事務繁忙,故不暇對毀鎊置念,他盡有他事可做,故再無精力對人懷抱敵意。他耐心隱忍逆來順受,而這樣做都以一定的哲理爲根據;他甘願吃苦,因爲痛苦不可避免;他甘願忍受失去家人的孤獨,因爲這事無法挽回;他甘願直面死亡,因爲這是他的必然命運。如果他涉入任何問題之爭,他那訓練有素的頭腦總不致使他出現一些也許比他更聰明但卻缺乏教養的人所常犯的那種失檢無禮的缺點;這類人彷彿一把鈍刀那樣,只知亂砍一通,但卻不中要害,他們往往把辯論的要點弄錯,把氣力虛拋在一些瑣碎細節上面,並且對自己的對手並不理解,反而把問題弄得愈加複雜。

He may be right or wrong in his opinion, but he is too clear headed to be unjust; he is as simple as he is forcible, and as brief as he is decisive. Nowhere shall we find greater candor, consideration, indulgence: he throws himself into the minds of his opponents, he accounts for their mistakes. He knows the weakness of human reason as well as its strength, its province and its limits.

他的看法有時正確有時錯誤,但由於頭腦極爲清醒,故頗能避免不公;在他身上,我們充分見到了氣勢、淳樸、果斷、簡練。在他身上,坦率、周到、寬容得到了最充分的體現:他對自己對手的心情最能體貼入微,對他們的錯誤也能找到原因。他對人類的理性不僅能識其長,亦能識其短,既知其領域範圍,又頗知其不足。

The Strenuous Life

艱辛的人生

A life of slothful ease, a life of that peace which springs merely from lack either of desire or of power to strive after great things, is as little worthy of a nation as an individual.

一種怠惰安逸的生活,一種僅僅是由於缺少追尋偉大事物的渴望或能力而導致的悠閒生活,對國家與個人都是毫無價值的。

We do not admire the man of timid peace. We admire the man who embodies victorious efforts, the man who never wrongs his neighbor, who is prompt to help a friend, but who has those virile qualities necessary to win in the stern strife of actual life. It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. In this life we get nothing save by effort. Freedom from effort in the present merely means that there has been effort stored up in the past. A man can be freed from the necessity of work only by the fact that he or his fathers before him have worked to good purpose. If the freedom thus purchased is used aright, and the man still does actual work, though of a different kind, whether as a writer or a general, whether in the field of politics or in the field of exploration and adventure, he shows he deserves his good fortune.

我們不欣賞那種怯懦安逸的人。我們欽佩那種表現出奮力向上的人,那種永不屈待鄰人,能隨時幫助朋友,但是也具有那些剛健的品質,足以在現實生活的嚴酷鬥爭中獲取勝利的人。失敗是難以忍受的,但更爲糟糕的是從來不去努力爭取成功。在人的這一生中,任何的收穫都要通過努力去得到。目前不作任何的努力,只不過意味着在過去有過努力的積儲。一個人不必工作,除非他或其先輩們曾經努力工作過,並取得了豐厚的收穫。假如他能夠把獲得的這種自由加以正確地運用,仍然做些實際的工作,儘管那些工作是屬於另一類的,不論是做一名作家還是將軍,不論是在政界還是在探險和冒險方面做些事情,都表明了他沒有辜負自己的好運。

But if he treats this period of freedom from the need of actual labor as a period, not of preparation, but of mere enjoyment, even though perhaps not of vicious enjoyment, he shows that he is simply a cumberer on the earth's surface; and he surely unfits himself to hold his own place with his fellows, if the need to do so should again arise. A mere life of ease is not in the end a very satisfactory life, and, above all, it is a life which ultimately unfits those who follow it for serious work in the world.

但是,假如他未將這段需要從事實際工作的自由時期用於準備,而僅僅是用於享樂(即使他所從事的或許並非不良的享樂),那也就表明了他只是地球表面上的一個贅疣;而且如果那種需要再度出現的話,他肯定無法在同僚之中維持自己的地位。一種純粹安逸的生活終究不是一種令人很滿意的生活,而且,最主要的是,過那種生活的人最終肯定沒有能力擔當起世上之重任。

As it is with the individual, so it is with the nation. It is a base untruth to say that happy is the nation that has no history. Thrice happy is the nation that has a glorious history. Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

對於個人是如此,對於國家也是這樣。有人說一個沒有歷史的國家是得天獨厚的,這是根本錯誤的。一種得天獨厚的優越感來源於一個國家所具有的光榮歷史。敢於挑戰非比尋常的事物,去贏得光輝的勝利,即使其中摻雜着失敗,那也遠勝於與那些既沒有享受多大快樂也沒有遭受多大痛苦的平庸之輩爲伍,因爲他們生活在一個既享受不到勝利也不會遭遇挫敗的灰暗的境界中。

Nature

自然

To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature. Most persons do not see the sun. At least they have a very superficial seeing. The sun illuminate only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child. The lover of nature is he whose inward and out­ward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of man­hood. His intercourse with heaven and earth, becomes part of his daily food. In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows. Nature says, he is my creature, and maugre all his im­pertinent griefs, he shall be glad with me. Not the sun or the summer alone, but every hour and season yields its tribute of delight; for every hour and change corre­sponds to and authorizes a different state of the mind, from breathless noon to grimmest midnight. Nature is a setting that fits equally well a comic or a mourning piece. In good health, the air is a cordial of incredible virtue. Crossing a bare common, in snow puddles, at twilight, under a clouded sky, without having in my thoughts any occurrence of special good fortune, I have enjoyed a perfect exhilaration. I am glad to the brink of fear. In the woods too, a man casts off his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life, is always a child, in the woods, is perpetual youth. Within these plantations of God, a decorum and sanctity reign, a pe­rennial festival is dressed, and the guest sees not how he should tire of them in a thousand years, In the woods, we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life, no disgrace, no calamity, (leaving me my eyes) which nature cannot repair. Standing on the bare, ground, my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space, all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eye-ball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of Gods. In the tranquil landscape, and especially in the distant line of the horizon, man be­holds somewhat as beautiful as his own nature.

說實話,沒有幾個成年人能真正看見自然。大多數人都看不見大陽;至少,他們眼裏看出來的大陽是單一的。對於成人來說,大陽只是照亮了他的眼睛,但對孩子而言,陽光卻滲入了他的眼睛和心靈。一個熱愛自然的人,他外在的知覺和內心的感觸是合而爲一的,即使他長大成年以後,還依然保持着一顆童年的心。對他來說,與天地的交流,是日常生活中不可殘缺的一部分。面對大自然,哪怕生活中有再大的憂傷,他的內心也會涌起莫大的喜悅。大自然說,他乃我所生,儘管他有各種無端的憂傷,但他將和我一同快樂。自然帶給我們的快樂不單單是陽光和夏日,每一個季節、每時每刻她都給我們帶來歡樂和欣喜。這是因爲,每一刻、每一個變化,從沉悶的中午到漆黑的午夜,都意味着一種全新的心情。在自然這個大舞臺上,既能上演喜劇,也能烘托悲情。如果身心健康,那麼,你會覺得空氣中彷彿也充滿了善意與美德。當我在黎明陰沉的天空下踏着積雪的水坑,穿過空曠的廣場時,雖然明知道不會有什麼特別的好運降臨,內心卻分明感到了極度的興奮。我慶幸自己彷彿來到了恐懼的邊緣。在森林中也是如此,人一年一年地老去,就如同蛇蛻去了身上的皮,但不管他處在生命的哪個階段,他永遠是一個孩子。在森林裏,青春是永恆的主旋律。在這些上帝掌管的田園裏,禮儀與聖潔高高在上,喜慶的節日四季不斷,尊貴的客人沉醉其中、逍遙自在,千年都不醒。在森林裏,我們復歸理性與信仰。在那裏,生活中所遭遇到的一切一恥辱、災難(除非我的眼睛看不見)統統都會在自然的神力作用下消遁於無形。當我佇足曠野,頭腦陶醉在宜人的空氣中,身體只覺得飄飄然騰空而起,所有卑微的私心雜念都蕩然無存了。我變成了一顆透明的眼球。我渺小至極,卻洞悉一切。世間生靈匯成一股洪流,在我周身循環,我成了上帝或大或小的一個部分。在靜謐的風景裏,尤其在遙遠的地平線上,人們看見了某種與他本性一般美好的事物。
