A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
冷漠
Apathy
Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all--the apathy of human beings.
科学也许已经找到了一种治疗大多数罪恶的方法;但它并没有找到解决最糟糕问题的办法——人类的冷漠。
All men have a sweetness in their life. That is what helps them go on. It is towards that they turn when they feel too worn out.

Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all -- the apathy of human beings.
科学也许已经找到了一种治疗大多数罪恶的方法;但它并没有找到解决最糟糕问题的办法——人类的冷漠。
Instead of saying that man is the creature of circumstance, it would be nearer the mark to say that man is the architect of circumstance.

I don't want to express alienation. It isn't what I feel. I'm interested in various kinds of passionate engagement. All my work says be serious, be passionate, wake up.
我不想表达异化。这不是我的感觉。我对各种充满激情的参与感兴趣。我所有的工作都告诉我要严肃,要有激情,要清醒。
By far the most dangerous foe we have to fight is apathy - indifference from whatever cause, not from a lack of knowledge, but from carelessness, from absorption in other pursuits, from a contempt bred of self satisfaction
到目前为止,我们必须与之斗争的最危险的敌人是冷漠——出于任何原因的冷漠,不是由于缺乏知识,而是由于粗心大意,由于全神贯注于其他追求,由于自我满足而产生的轻蔑
The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it’s indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s indifference. and the opposite of life is not death, it’s indifference.
爱的反面不是恨,而是冷漠。艺术的对立面不是丑陋,而是冷漠。信仰的对立面不是异端邪说,而是冷漠。生命的对立面不是死亡,而是冷漠。
That only a few, under any circumstances, protest against the injustice of long-established laws and customs, does not disprove the fact of the oppressions, while the satisfaction of the many, if real only proves their apathy and deeper degradation.
在任何情况下,只有少数人抗议长期存在的法律和习俗的不公正,但这并不能证明压迫的事实是不成立的,而许多人的满足,如果是真实的,只能证明他们的冷漠和更深的堕落。
Some people confuse acceptance with apathy, but there's all the difference in the world. Apathy fails to distinguish between what can and what cannot be helped; acceptance makes that distinction. Apathy paralyzes the will-to-action; acceptance frees it by relieving it of impossible burdens.
有些人把接受和冷漠混淆了,但世界上有很大的不同。冷漠无法区分什么能做,什么不能做;接受决定了这种区别。冷漠麻痹了行动的意愿;接受可以让你从不可能的负担中解脱出来。
