反思自己的過錯

以至于不重蹈覆轍才是真正的悔悟

比他人優(yōu)越并無任何高貴之處

真正的高貴在于超越過去的自我

True Nobility

In a calm sea every man is a pilot

But all sunshine without shade

all pleasure without pain

is not life at all

Take the lot of the happiest

-it is a tangled yarn

Bereavements ａｎｄ blessings

one following another

make us sad and blessed by turns

Even death itself makes life more loving

Men come closest to their true seives in the sober moments of life

under the shadows of sorrow and loss

In the affairs of life or of business       

it is not intellect that tells so much as ｃｈａｒacter

not brains so much as heart

not genius so much as self-control

patience

and discipline

regulated by judgment

I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more serio         

-usly within begins to live more simply without

In an age of extravagance and waste

I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are

To regret one＇s errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance      

There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man

The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self

真正的高貴(海明威)

在風(fēng)平浪靜的海面上

每一個人都可以成為領(lǐng)航員

但是假如只有陽光而沒有陰影

只有歡樂而沒有痛苦

那就全然不是人生

就拿最幸福的人來說吧

——他們的命運是一團(tuán)糾纏的紗線

喪親之痛和神恩賜福此起彼伏

讓我們悲歡交替

甚至連死亡本身都讓人生更為可愛

人們在生命的莊嚴(yán)時刻

在哀傷和喪親的陰影之下

最接近真實的自我

在生活或事業(yè)的各種事務(wù)之中

才智的效用遠(yuǎn)不如性格

頭腦的效用遠(yuǎn)不如心性

天資遠(yuǎn)不如由判斷力所約束的自制、耐心與教養(yǎng)

我一向認(rèn)為

內(nèi)心開始生活得更為嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)娜?/FONT>
