歡迎添加尚尚的個(gè)人微信號(hào)sheckilia-english,分享糟糕的心情，好玩的事情，最重要的是在娛樂(lè)至死嘻嘻哈哈的年代里，也學(xué)一點(diǎn)東西。 My young friends, I gaze at your young faces, beaming with intelligence and eager interest across the distance of age. I have come to the shore of the sunset land. You stand over there in the land of the rising sun. My heart reaches out to your hearts and blesses them. 我的青年朋友，我眼看著你們的年輕面目，閃亮著聰明與誠(chéng)懇的志趣，但我們的中間卻是間隔著年歲的距離，我已經(jīng)到了黃昏的海邊；你們遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)地站在那日出的家鄉(xiāng)。我的心伸展到你的心，你們有我的祝福。 ? What a delight it may be for you, and what a responsibility, this belonging to a period which is one of the greatest in the whole history of man! We realize the greatness of this age dimly, in the light of this glowing fire of pain, in the suffering that has come upon us, a suffering that is world-wide; we do not even know fully what form it is going to take. 你們正可以自負(fù)，同時(shí)也應(yīng)得知道你們的責(zé)任，如今你們生長(zhǎng)在人類歷史上最偉大的一個(gè)時(shí)期里，我們從我們的苦惱與痛楚的火焰里隱隱地辯論出這時(shí)代的偉大。這苦痛是普遍的，我們還不十分知道前途是何等的光景。 ? The seed, in which life remains self-contained, does not know its complete truth. Even when the sheath bursts, it is not known in what shape its life will manifest itself, what fruit the branches will bear. 保持著生命的全部的種子，并不知道他包含著的完全的真理，就在那莖籜豁裂的俄頃我們也不能斷定這里面生命將會(huì)滋長(zhǎng)成什么方式，更無(wú)從知道他將來(lái)結(jié)成什么果實(shí)。 ? What is the greatest fact of this age? It is that the messenger of an immense future has come; he has knocked at our gate and all the bars have given way. Our doors have burst open. The human races have come out of their enclosures. They have gathered together. 什么是這時(shí)期里偉大的事實(shí)？那就是我們的門(mén)戶已經(jīng)開(kāi)豁，一個(gè)廣博的未來(lái)的使者已經(jīng)來(lái)到，他已經(jīng)敲打我們的大門(mén)，我們門(mén)上的阻攔都已經(jīng)讓路。人類的種族都已經(jīng)從他們的籬樊內(nèi)出現(xiàn)，他們已經(jīng)聚在一處。他們?cè)俨辉谒麄冸[秘的居處藏匿。 ? There are no longer walls to hide us. We have, at length, to prove our worth to the whole world, not merely to admiring groups of our own people. We must justify our own existence. We must show, each in our own civilization, that which is universal. 我們已經(jīng)出來(lái)，我們不要在墻圈里躲著，我們現(xiàn)在應(yīng)得在全世界的面前辯護(hù)我們的價(jià)值，不僅在我們?nèi)蔟嫷募胰饲百u弄能耐，我們必得明證我們的存在的理由，我們必得從我們各家獨(dú)有的文明里展覽普遍的公認(rèn)的成分。 ? Now I am in China, I ask you, I ask myself, what have you got, what out of your own house can you bring in homage to this new age? You must answer this question. Do you know your own mind? Your own culture? What is the best and most permanent in your own history? You must know at least that, if you are to save yourselves from the greatest of insults, the insult of obscurity, of rejection. Bring out your light, add it to this great festival of lamps of world culture. 現(xiàn)在我是在中國(guó)。我問(wèn)你們，我也問(wèn)我自己，我們有的是什么，有什么東西可以從家里拿出來(lái)算是你們給這新時(shí)期的敬意。你們必須回答這個(gè)問(wèn)題。你明白自己的心嗎？你知道你自己的文化嗎？你們史乘里最完善最永久的是什么？你們必得知道，如其你們想要自免于最大的侮辱，遭受蔑視，遭受棄卻的侮辱。拿出你們的光亮來(lái)，加入這偉大的燈會(huì)，你們要來(lái)參與這世界文化的展覽。 ? Love gives beauty to everything it touches. Not greed and utility; they produce offices, but not dwelling houses. 你們愛(ài)你們的生活，單這愛(ài)就使你們的生活美好。不是貪心與實(shí)利；他們只能產(chǎn)生做買(mǎi)賣的公事房，不是人住的家。 To be able to love material things, to clothe them with tender grace, and yet not be attached to them, this is a great service. 能愛(ài)實(shí)體的事物卻不過(guò)分的沾戀，而且能給他們一種優(yōu)美的意致，這是一樁偉大的服務(wù)。 Providence expects that we should make this world our own, and not live in it as though it were a rented tenement. We can only make it our own by some service, and that service is to lend it love and beauty from our soul. 上天的意思是要我們把這個(gè)世界化作我們自己的家，不是要我們存在這世界里像是住店似的。我們只能從一種服務(wù)里把這世界化成我們自己的家，那服務(wù)就在給他我們真心的愛(ài)，又從這愛(ài)里使他更美。 ? Look at the miracle of expression in all the things of creation, the flowers, the stars, the blade of grass. You cannot analyze this elusive beauty in your laboratory and pocket it. 你們看見(jiàn)在天然的事物里都有那表現(xiàn)的靈異，看園里的花，看天上的星，看地上的草葉子，你不能在試驗(yàn)室里分析那個(gè)美，你放不到你的口袋里去。那美的表現(xiàn)是不可捉摸的。 ? I am tired and old. This is perhaps my last meeting with you. 我是倦了，我年紀(jì)也大了。我也許再不能會(huì)見(jiàn)你們了。這也許是我們最后的一次集會(huì)。 With all my heart I take this occasion to entreat you not to be turned away by the call of vulgar strength, of stupendous size, by the spirit of storage, by the multiplication of millions, without meaning and without end. 因此我竭我的至誠(chéng)懇求你們不要錯(cuò)走路，不要惶惑，千成不要理會(huì)那惡俗的力量的引誘，誕妄的巨體的叫喚，擁積的時(shí)尚與無(wú)意識(shí)，無(wú)目的的營(yíng)利的誘惑。 ? Cherish the ideal of perfection, and to that relate all your work, all your movements. 保持那凡事必求美滿的理想，你們一切的工作，一切的行動(dòng)都應(yīng)得折中于那惟一的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。 Then, though you love the material things of earth, that will not hurt you and you shall bring heaven to earth and soul into things. 如此你們雖則眷愛(ài)地上實(shí)體的事物，你們的精神還是無(wú)傷的，你們的使命是在拿天堂給人間，拿靈魂來(lái)給一切的事物。
