问题    I have suggested that self-actualizers can be defined as people who are no longer motivated by the needs for safety, belongingness, love, status, and self-respect because these needs have already been satisfied. Why then should a love-gratified person fall in love? 【T1】Certainly not for the same reasons that motivate the love-deprived person, who falls in love because he needs and craves love, because he lacks it, and is impelled to make up this deficiency.
   Self-actualizers have no serious deficiencies to make up and must now be looked upon as freed for growth, maturation, development, in a word, for the fulfillment and actualization of their highest individual and species nature. What such people do emanates from growth and expresses it without striving. 【T2】They love because they are loving persons, in the same way that they are kind, honest, natural, i.e., because it is their nature to be so spontaneous, as a strong man is strong without willing to be, as a rose emits perfume, as a cat is graceful, or as a child is childish. Such epiphenomena are as little motivated as is physical growth or psychological maturation.
   There is little of the trying, straining, or striving in the loving of the self-actualizer that so dominates the loving of the average person. In philosophical language, it is an aspect of being as well as of becoming and ban be called B-love, that, love for the Being of the other.
   【T3】A paradox seems to be created at first sight by the fact that self-actualizing people maintain a degree of individuality, of detachment, and autonomy that seems at first glance to be incompatible with the kind of identification and love that I have been describing above. But this is only an apparent paradox. 【T4】As we have seen, the tendencies to detachment and to need identification and to profound interrelationships with another person can coexist in healthy people. The fact is that self-actualizing people are simultaneously the most individualistic and the most altruistic and social and loving of all human beings. The fact that we have in our culture put these qualities at opposite ends of a single continuum is apparently a mistake that must now be corrected. These qualities go together and the dichotomy is resolved in self-actualizing people.
   【T5】We find in our subjects a healthy selfishness, a great self-respect, a disinclination to make sacrifices without good reason.
【T4】

选项

答案如我们所知,在健康的人身上,超脱的性情、需要认同感的偏好以及想和另一个人有深度关系的倾向是可以共存的。

解析 翻译该句时需要注意两点:一是“the tendencies”后的“to”既是介词to,也是表示动词不定式的to。第一和第三个to是介词to,第二个是表示动词不定式的to。二是“tendencies”一词的翻译,可以重复翻译成“倾向性”,也可以分别翻译成“倾向性”“偏好”,或“性情”以体现语言的丰富性,当然顺序可颠倒。
