A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
相互依存
Interdependence
If one is estranged from oneself, then one is estranged from others too. If one is out of touch with oneself, then one cannot touch others.
如果一个人疏远了自己,那么他也就疏远了别人。如果一个人脱离了自己,那么他就无法触及他人。
Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.
梦想变成了行动。从行动中再次萌生梦想;这种相互依赖产生了最高形式的生活。
No one can be perfectly free till all are free; no one can be perfectly moral till all are moral; no one can be perfectly happy till all are happy.
没有人能完全自由,直到所有的人都自由了;没有人是完全道德的,除非所有人都是道德的;没有人能完全快乐,直到所有人都快乐。
The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another, and all involved in one another
慈悲的整个理念是建立在对所有这些生命的相互依赖的敏锐意识之上的,这些生命都是彼此的一部分,并且都参与到彼此之中
Yet, in spite of this world-wide system of linkages, there is, at this very moment, a general feeling that communication is breaking down everywhere, on an unparalleled scale.
然而,尽管有这种世界性的联系系统,在目前这个时刻,普遍的感觉是,到处的通讯正在以空前的规模崩溃。
I have come into this world to see this: the sword drop from men's hands even at the height of their arc of rage because we have finally realized there is just one flesh we can wound.
我到世上来,是要看这事。 剑从人们手中落下 即使在高峰时期 的弧 愤怒 因为我们终于意识到 只有一个肉体 我们可以伤口。
Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning, and under every deep a lower deep opens.
我们的生活就是一个学徒,去认识这样一个真理:每绕一个圆圈,就会有另一个圆圈出现;自然界没有终点,但每一个终点都是一个起点,在每一个深渊之下都有一个更低的深渊在打开。
For everyone of us that succeeds, it's because there's somebody there to show you the way out. The light doesn't always necessarily have to be in your family; for me it was teachers and school.
我们每个人的成功,都是因为有人在那里为你指明出路。光不一定一定要在你的家里;对我来说,这就是老师和学校。
I propose that there is another kind of power based not on resources, things, or attributes, but rooted in the social and cooperative relations in which people are enmeshed by virtue of group life.
我认为,还有一种力量不是建立在资源、事物或属性的基础上,而是建立在社会和合作关系的基础上。
Civilization grew in the beginning from the minute that we had communication -- particularly communication by sea that enabled people to get inspiration and ideas from each other and to exchange basic raw materials.
从我们有了交流的那一刻起,文明就开始发展了——尤其是海上的交流,使人们能够从彼此身上获得灵感和想法,并交换基本的原材料。
Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone.
人际关系就是一切。 宇宙中的一切之所以存在,只是因为它是存在的 和其他一切的关系。没有任何事物是孤立存在的。 我们必须停止假装我们是可以独立完成任务的个体。
To help the poor to a capacity for action and liberty is something essential for one's own health as well as theirs: there is a needful gift they have to offer which cannot be offered so long as they are confined by poverty.
帮助穷人获得行动和自由的能力对一个人以及他们自己的健康都是至关重要的:他们必须提供一种必要的礼物,只要他们受到贫困的限制,这种礼物就不能提供。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.
没有一种善举会自行停止。一种行为导致另一种行为。下面是一个很好的例子。一个简单的善举就能把树根向四面八方抛去,树根就会发芽,长成新的树。善良对他人所做的最大的贡献就是使他们善待自己。
There is no such thing as a "self-made" man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.
没有所谓的“白手起家”的人。我们是由成千上万的人组成的。每一个曾经为我们做过一件好事,或对我们说过一句鼓励的话的人,都已经成为我们性格、思想以及成功的组成部分。
Communication is a continual balancing act, juggling the conflicting needs for intimacy and independence. To survive in the world, we have to act in concert with others, but to survive as ourselves, rather than simply as cogs in a wheel, we have to act alone.
沟通是一种持续的平衡行为,在亲密和独立的需求之间平衡。为了在这个世界上生存,我们必须与他人合作,但是为了作为我们自己而生存,而不仅仅是作为一个齿轮上的齿轮,我们必须独自行动。
We know from science that nothing in the universe exists as an isolated or independent entity.
我们从科学上知道,宇宙中没有任何东西是作为一个孤立的或独立的实体存在的。
The only real nation is humanity.
唯一真正的民族是人类。
