Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly 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, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy—ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of 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 of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what—at last—I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.
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 in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness , poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.
This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
选项
答案
对爱情的渴望,对知识的追求,对人类痛苦那令人难以平复的同情,这三种激情虽然质朴,却无比强烈,一直主宰着我的人生。这些激情宛若巨风,吹着我四处漂泊,狂狷不羁,越过茫茫苦海,直抵绝望的边缘。 我寻求爱情,首先是因为爱情令人心醉神迷——那种心醉神迷的感觉使我愿意用余生去换取哪怕几个小时这样的愉悦。我寻求爱情,还因为爱情可以缓解我的孤独感——那种仿若站在世界的边缘,俯瞰面前那冰冷死寂的深渊的孤独感。我寻求爱情,因为爱在两情相悦时,仿佛看到了圣贤与诗人们所向往的天堂之景——那是一种神奇的缩影。这正是我一生所寻求的,尽管它对于人生而言似乎太过美好,但我已经找到了——终于找到了。 我以同样的激情追求知识,渴望理解人类的心灵,试图领悟毕达哥拉斯所景仰的“数即万物”的思想。我已经悟出了其中的一点点道理,尽管并不是很多。 爱情和知识尽其所能把人引向天堂,而同情却总是把我又拽回到尘世中来。痛苦的呼喊在我心中回荡,饥饿的儿童,遭压迫者蹂躏的难民,被子女视为累赘的无依无靠的老人,还有充斥着整个世界的孤独、贫穷和疾苦,都是对人类原本应有的生活之嘲讽。我渴望减轻这痛苦,可我无能为力,这令我难逃其折磨。 这就是我的人生。我觉得值得为其而活,倘若还有机会,我乐意再活一次。
