A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
陌生人
Stranger
Wandering in a vast forest at night, I have only a faint light to guide me. A stranger appears and says to me: 'My friend, you should blow out your candle in order to find your way more clearly.' This stranger is a theologian.
夜晚漫步在浩瀚的森林里,只有微弱的灯光指引着我。一个陌生人出现了,对我说:‘朋友,你应该吹灭蜡烛,以便更清楚地找到路。“这个陌生人是个神学家。
We couldn't be making as much money, if we had to deal with stranger behaviour. And right now, anybody who slows down our economic productivity, off they go. We have a place for them, the psychiatric institution. That's the main thing, they slow things down.
如果我们必须处理陌生人的行为,我们不可能赚那么多钱。现在,任何降低我们经济生产力的人,都得走人。我们给他们留了个地方,精神病院。这是最主要的,他们会让事情慢下来。
It is only a man's own fundamental thoughts that have truth and life in them. For it is these that he really and completely understands. To read the thoughts of others is like taking the remains of someone else's meal, like putting on the discarded clothes of a stranger.
只有一个人的基本思想中才有真理和生命。因为这是他真正完全理解的。读别人的思想,就像吃别人吃剩的饭,就像穿陌生人丢弃的衣服。
