No great achievement is possible without persistent work, so absorbing and so difficult that little energy is left over for the more strenuous kinds of amusement. )“一切伟大的生活含有沉闷的努力。”(All great lives have contained uninteresting stretches.)“一个男孩子或青年人,若抱着严肃而有建设性的目标,一定甘心情愿忍受大量的烦闷,要是必须的话。但若过着一种心思散漫,纵情逸乐的生活,一个青年人的头脑里就难于孕育有建设性的目标;因为在此情形中,他的念头所贯注的将是未来的欢娱,而非遥远的成就。为了这些缘故,不能忍受烦闷的一代,定是人物渺小的一代。”(A boy or young man who has some serious constructive purpose will endure voluntarily a great deal of boredom if he finds that it is necessary by the way. But constructive purpose do not easily from themselves in a boy’s mind if he is living a life of distracsure rather than towards the distant achievement. For all these reasons a generation that cannot endure boredom will be a generation of little men. )为了逃避那富有建设性的烦闷,他们反而堕入另一种更可怕的烦闷。幸福的生活,大半有赖于恬静,因为唯有在恬静的空气中,真正的欢乐才能常住。”(In flying from the fructifying kind of boredom, they fall a prey to the other far worse kind. A happy life must be great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy can live. )一九五七年六月五日)[/FACE][/SIZE][/BGCOLOR][/COLOR][/FACE][/LINE-HEIGHT][/P] |
