美文欣賞：抱負(fù)
It is not difficult to imagine a world short of ambition. It would probably be a kinder world: with out demands, without abrasions, without disappointments. People would have time for reflection. Such work as they did would not be for themselves but for the collectivity. Competition would never enter in. conflict would be eliminated, tension become a thing of the past. The stress of creation would be at an end. Art would no longer be troubling, but purely celebratory in its functions. Longevity would be increased, for fewer people would die of heart attack or stroke caused by tumultuous endeavor. Anxiety would be extinct. Time would stretch on and on, with ambition long departed from the human heart. Ah, how unrelieved boring life would be!
一個(gè)缺乏抱負(fù)的世界將會(huì)怎樣，這不難想象。或許，這將是一個(gè)更為友善的世界：沒(méi)有渴求，沒(méi)有磨擦，沒(méi)有失望。人們將有時(shí)間進(jìn)行反思。他們所從事的工作將不是為了他們自身，而是為了整個(gè)集體。競(jìng)爭(zhēng)永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)介入；沖突將被消除。人們的緊張關(guān)系將成為過(guò)往云煙。創(chuàng)造的重壓將得以終結(jié)。藝術(shù)將不再惹人費(fèi)神，其功能將純粹為了慶典。人的壽命將會(huì)更長(zhǎng)，因?yàn)橛杉ち移礌?zhēng)引起的心臟病和中風(fēng)所導(dǎo)致的死亡將越來(lái)越少。焦慮將會(huì)消失。時(shí)光流逝，抱負(fù)卻早已遠(yuǎn)離人心。啊，長(zhǎng)此以往人生將變得多么乏味無(wú)聊！
There is a strong view that holds that success is a myth, and ambition therefore a sham. Does this mean that success does not really exist? That achievement is at bottom empty? That the efforts of men and women are of no significance alongside the force of movements and events now not all success, obviously, is worth esteeming, nor all ambition worth cultivating. Which are and which are not is something one soon enough learns on one's own. But even the most cynical secretly admit that success exists; that achievement counts for a great deal; and that the true myth is that the actions of men and women are useless. To believe otherwise is to take on a point of view that is likely to be deranging. It is, in its implications, to remove all motives for competence, interest in attainment, and regard for posterity.
有一種盛行的觀點(diǎn)認(rèn)為，成功是一種神話，因此抱負(fù)亦屬虛幻。這是不是說(shuō)實(shí)際上并不豐在成功？成就本身就是一場(chǎng)空？與諸多運(yùn)動(dòng)和事件的力量相比，男男女女的努力顯得微不足？顯然，并非所有的成功都值得景仰，也并非所有的抱負(fù)都值得追求。對(duì)值得和不值得的選擇，一個(gè)人自然而然很快就能學(xué)會(huì)。但即使是最為憤世嫉俗的人暗地里也承認(rèn)，成功確實(shí)存在，成就的意義舉足輕重，而把世上男男女女的所作所為說(shuō)成是徒勞無(wú)功才是真正的無(wú)稽之談。認(rèn)為成功不存在的觀點(diǎn)很可能造成混亂。這種觀點(diǎn)的本意是一筆勾銷所有提高能力的動(dòng)機(jī)，求取業(yè)績(jī)的興趣和對(duì)子孫后代的關(guān)注。
We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time or conditions of our death. But within all this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we shall live: courageously or in cowardice, honorably or dishonorably, with purpose or in drift. We decide what is important and what is trivial in life. We decide that what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refuse to do. But no matter how indifferent the universe may be to our choices and decisions, these choices and decisions are ours to make. We decide. We choose. And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed. In the end, forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.
我們無(wú)法選擇出生，無(wú)法選擇父母，無(wú)法選擇出生的歷史時(shí)期與國(guó)家，或是成長(zhǎng)的.周遭環(huán)境。我們大多數(shù)人都無(wú)法選擇死亡，無(wú)法選擇死亡的時(shí)間或條件。但是在這些無(wú)法選擇之中，我們的確可以選擇自己的生活方式：是勇敢無(wú)畏還是膽小怯懦，是光明磊落還是厚顏無(wú)恥，是目標(biāo)堅(jiān)定還是隨波逐流。我們決定生活中哪些至關(guān)重要，哪些微不足道。我們決定，用以顯示我們自身重要性的，不是我們做了什么，就是我們拒絕做些什么。但是不論世界對(duì)我們所做的選擇和決定有多么漠不關(guān)心，這些選擇和決定終究是我們自己做出的。我們決定，我們選擇。而當(dāng)我們決定和選擇時(shí)，我們的生活便得以形成。最終構(gòu)筑我們命運(yùn)的就是抱負(fù)之所在。
