一个人的生命究竟有多大意义.docVIP

一个人的生命究竟有多大意义这有什么标准可以衡量吗提出一个绝对的标准当然很困难但是大体上看一个人对待生命的态度是否严肃认真看他对待劳动、工作等等的态度如何也就不难对这个人的存在意义做出适当的估计了。 古来一切有成就的人都很严肃地对待自己的生命当他活着一天总要尽量多劳动、多工作、多学习不肯虚度年华不让时间白白地浪费掉。我国历代的劳动人民及大政治家、大思想家等等都莫不如此。 How significant is a person s life Is there any standard to measure it It will be very difficult to put forward an absolute standard but in general the significance of one s existence can be estimated by how he treats his life by what attitude he takes to work and what ways he chooses to live. From ancient times up to now all the accomplished people treat their lives very seriously. They work and learn as much as possible. They hate to spend the best of their lives in vain they do not want to let their time slip by. All the laboring people great statesmen and thinkers of our country at all ages treasure their time in this way. 原文 It is simple enough to say that since books have classes fiction biography poetry—we should separate them and take from each what it is right that each should give us. Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds asking of fiction that it shall be true of poetry that it shall be false of biography that it shall be flattering of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconception when we read that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author try to become him. Be his fellowworker and accomplice. If you hang back and reserve and criticize at first you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read. But if you open your mind as widely as possible then signs and hints of almost imperceptible finess from the twist and turn of the first sentences will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other. Steep yourself in this acquaint yourself with this and soon you will find that your author is giving you or attempting to give you something far more definite. 英译汉 然而几乎没有什么人会从书中提问书能给我们什么。最为普遍的
