A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
哲学
Philosophy
My fate cannot be mastered; it can only be collaborated with and thereby, to some extent, directed. Nor am I the captain of my soul; I am only its noisiest passenger.
我的命运无法掌控;它只能与之合作，从而在某种程度上得到指导。我也不是自己灵魂的主宰;我只是它最吵闹的乘客。
Words are made for a certain exactness of thought, as tears are for a certain degree of pain. What is least distinct cannot be named; what is clearest is unutterable.
语言是为一定程度的思考而产生的，正如眼泪是为一定程度的痛苦而产生的。最不明显的东西叫不出来;最清楚的是说不出来的。
What is real is not the external form, but the essence of things... it is impossible for anyone to express anything essentially real by imitating its exterior surface.
真实的不是外在的形式，而是事物的本质……任何人都不可能通过模仿物体的表面来表达本质上真实的东西。
It should now be clear why the method of Philosophy is so different from that of the natural sciences. Experiments are not made, because they would be utterly useless.
现在应该很清楚为什么哲学的方法与自然科学的方法如此不同了。实验是不做的，因为它们是完全无用的。
When we say that Philosophy tries to clear up the meanings of concepts we do not mean that it is simply concerned to substitute some long phrase for some familiar word.
当我们说哲学试图澄清概念的意义时，我们并不是说它只是简单地用一些长短语来代替一些熟悉的词。
There is no philosophy which is not founded upon knowledge of the phenomena, but to get any profit from this knowledge it is absolutely necessary to be a mathematician.
没有一种哲学不是建立在对现象的认识之上的，但是要从这种认识中获得任何益处，成为数学家是绝对必要的。
Romanticism is the expression of man's urge to rise above reason and common sense, just as rationalism is the expression of his urge to rise above theology and emotion.
浪漫主义是人超越理性和常识的冲动的表现，正如理性主义是人超越神学和情感的冲动的表现一样。
At sunrise everything is luminous but not clear. It is those we live with and love and should know who elude us. You can love completely without complete understanding.
日出时，一切都是明亮的，但并不清楚。与我们生活在一起、相爱的人，应该知道是谁在躲避我们。你可以完全不懂爱。
Tell me that the purpose of life is to have fun, and without a care in the world I'll begin wreaking havoc on everything I pass. Now that's what I call pure, honest fun.
告诉我，生活的目的就是要快乐，如果我不关心这个世界，我就会开始破坏我所经历的一切。这就是我所说的纯粹、诚实的乐趣。
As a system of philosophy it is not like the Tower of Babel, so daring its high aim as to seek a shelter against God's anger; but it is like a pyramid poised on its apex.
作为一种哲学体系，它不像巴别塔，大胆地追求它的崇高目标，以寻求庇护来抵御上帝的愤怒;但它就像一个金字塔，在它的顶端保持平衡。
Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder.
因为哲学源于敬畏，所以哲学家一定要成为神话和诗意寓言的爱好者。诗人和哲学家都有伟大的奇迹。
I am an Epicurean. I consider the genuine (not the imputed) doctrines of Epicurus as containing everything rational in moral philosophy which Greek and Roman leave to us.
我是个享乐主义者。我认为伊壁鸠鲁真正的(而不是假定的)学说包含了希腊和罗马留给我们的道德哲学的一切理性。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.
我们必须敢于做我们自己，不管这个自我是多么可怕或奇怪。
Wise men speak when they have something to say, fools speak because they have to say something.
智者在有话要说时才说话，愚者说话是因为他们不得不说。
There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.
没有任何命运不能被轻蔑所超越。
The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.
对我来说，幻想的天赋比我吸收积极知识的天赋更重要。
