A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
邪恶
Evil
Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him?
还有比这更愚蠢的事吗?一个人住在河的另一边，他的统治者和我的统治者发生了争吵，而我却没有和他争吵过。
Of all the things that oppress me, this sense of the evil working of nature herself - my disgust at her barbarity - clumsiness - darkness - bitter mockery of herself - is the most desolating.
在所有压迫我的事情中，大自然本身的这种罪恶的感觉——我对她的野蛮、笨拙、黑暗、对她自己的痛苦的嘲弄的厌恶——是最令人感到凄凉的。
Those disputing, contradicting, and confuting people are generally unfortunate in their affairs. They get victory, sometimes, but they never get good will, which would be of more use to them.
那些爱争论、爱反驳、爱驳倒别人的人在他们的事务中通常是不幸的。他们有时能获得胜利，但他们从来没有得到过善意，而善意对他们更有用。
When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.
当一个人对邪恶感到厌恶，当他感到平静，他就会从聆听好的教导中找到快乐;当一个人有了这些感觉并欣赏它们时，他就没有了恐惧。
Truly it is an evil to be full of faults; but it is a still greater evil to be full of them and to be unwilling to recognize them, since that is to add the further fault of a voluntary illusion.
的确，满是缺点是一种罪恶;但是，满是幻想却不愿意去认识它们，这是更大的罪恶，因为这是一种自愿性幻想的进一步错误。
There is something mean in human nature that prefers to think evil, that gives a willing ear and a ready welcome to calumny, a sort of jealousy of goodness and greatness and things of good report.

It was as though in those last minutes he (Eichmann) was summing up the lessons that this long course in human wickedness has taught us--the lesson of the fearsome, word-and-thought defying banality of evil.

What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists, is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents.
极端主义者令人反感和危险的地方，不在于他们极端，而在于他们缺乏宽容。邪恶不在于他们怎么说他们的事业，而在于他们怎么说他们的对手。
What would our world be like if we ceased to worry about "right" and "wrong," or "good" and "evil," and simply acted so as to maximize well-being, our own and that of others? Would we lose anything important?
如果我们不再担心“对”和“错”，或“善”和“恶”，而只是为了最大限度地增进我们自己和他人的福祉而行动，我们的世界会变成什么样子?我们会失去什么重要的东西吗?
We ought always to deal justly, not only with those who are just to us, but likewise to those who endeavor to injure us; and this, for fear lest by rendering them evil for evil, we should fall into the same vice.
我们不仅应该公正地对待那些对我们公正的人，而且应该公正地对待那些试图伤害我们的人;我们也要这样行，恐怕他们以恶报恶，我们就和他们一样有恶报。
What we call 'evil' doesn't necessarily deserve any kind of respect or understanding, by any means; it just deserves an acknowledgement of its complexity so we can better understand it - so we can help prevent it.
无论如何，我们所谓的“邪恶”并不一定值得任何形式的尊重或理解;我们应该承认它的复杂性，这样我们才能更好地理解它——这样我们才能帮助预防它。
