A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

命运

Destiny

The idea of death, the fear of it, haunts the human animal like nothing else; it is a mainspring of human activity - designed largely to avoid the fatality of death, to overcome it by denying in some way that it is the final destiny of man.

死亡的念头,对死亡的恐惧,在人类的动物身上是绝无仅有的;它是人类活动的一个主要动力- -主要是为了避免死亡的必然性,通过以某种方式否认死亡是人类的最终命运来克服死亡。

I think that people who live in cultures without quite so much privilege, opportunity or grandiosity have a little bit more respect for the workings of destiny, and the limitations that people can find themselves in through no fault of their own.

我认为,生活在没有那么多特权、机会或浮夸的文化中的人,对命运的运作有更多的尊重,以及人们发现自己所处的局限,而这些局限并不是他们自己的过错。

I've always considered myself lucky that I do not have many passions. There's only one pursuit that I have ever truly loved, and that pursuit is writing. This means, conveniently enough, that I never had to search for my destiny; I only had to obey it.

我一直认为自己很幸运,因为我没有太多的激情。只有一种追求是我真正热爱的,那就是写作。这就意味着,我从来不必去寻找我的命运,这是很方便的。我只需要服从它。

We are face to face with our destiny and we must meet it with a high and resolute courage. For us is the life of action, of strenuous performance of duty; let us live in the harness, striving mightily; let us rather run the risk of wearing out than rusting out.

我们正面临着我们的命运,我们必须以崇高和坚定的勇气来迎接它。对我们来说,生命是行动的生命,是勤奋履行职责的生命;让我们生活在挽具里,奋力拼搏;让我们冒着磨损而不是生锈的危险吧。
