雙語(yǔ)閱讀：只有發(fā)現(xiàn)自己才會(huì)享受人生
以下是小編整理的哲理類英語(yǔ)美文欣賞：只有發(fā)現(xiàn)自己才會(huì)享受人生， 希望對(duì)你有所啟發(fā)。
The only problem unconsciously assumed by allChinese philosophers to be of any importance is:How shall we enjoy life, and who can best enjoy life?No perfectionism, no straining after the unattainable,no postulating of he unknowable; but taking poor,modal human nature as it is, how shall we organizeour life so that we can woke peacefully, endurenobly and live happily?
一切中國(guó)的哲學(xué)家在不知不覺中認(rèn)為唯一重要的問題是：我們要怎樣享受人生?誰(shuí)最會(huì)享受人生?我們不追求十全十美的理想，我們不尋找那些得不到的東西，我們不要求知道那些不得而知的東西;我們只認(rèn)識(shí)不完美的、會(huì)死的人類的本性，那么我們要怎樣調(diào)整我們的人生，使我們可以和平地工作著，曠達(dá)地忍耐著，幸福地生活著呢?
Who are we? That is first question. It is aquestion almost impossible to answer. But we all agree with the busy self occupied in ourdaily activities is not quite the real self. We are quite sure we have lost something in the merepursuit of living. When we watch a person running about looking for something in a field, thewise man can set a puzzle for all the spectator to solve: what has that person lost? Some onethinks is a watch; another thinks it is a diamond brooch; and others will essay other guesses.After all the guesses have failed, the wise man who really doesn’t know what the person isseeking after, tells the company:" I’ll tell you. He has lost some breath." And no one can denythat he is right. So we often forget our true self in the pursuit of living, like a bird forgetting itsown danger in pursuit of a mantis which again forgets its own danger in pursuit of another.
我們是誰(shuí)呢?這是第一個(gè)問題。這個(gè)問題幾乎是無(wú)法答復(fù)的。可是我們都承認(rèn)在我們?cè)怀；顒?dòng)中那么忙碌的自我，并不完全是真正的自我;我們相信我們?cè)谏畹淖非笾幸呀?jīng)失掉了一些東西。當(dāng)我們看見一個(gè)人在一片田野里跑來(lái)跑去在尋找東西時(shí)，智者可以弄出一個(gè)難題給一切旁觀者去解答：那個(gè)人失掉了什么東西呢?有的猜一只表;有的猜一支鉆石胸針;其他的人則作其他的猜測(cè)。智者委實(shí)也不知道那個(gè)人在尋找什么東西;可是當(dāng)大家都猜不中的時(shí)候，他會(huì)對(duì)大家說(shuō)：“我告訴你們吧。他失掉了一些氣息了。” 沒有人會(huì)否認(rèn)他的話是對(duì)的。所以我們?cè)谏畹淖非笾谐３Ｍ袅苏嬲淖晕遥袂f子在一個(gè)美妙的譬喻里所講的那只鳥那樣，為了要捕捉一只螳螂而忘掉自身的危險(xiǎn)，而那只螳螂又為了要捕捉一只蟬而忘掉自身的危險(xiǎn)。
