1、在義與利之外,Beyond Righteousness and Gain,如果說“義”代表一種倫理的人生態(tài)度，“利”代表一種功利的人生態(tài)度，那么，我所說的“情”便代表一種審美的人生態(tài)度。,To be righteous is an ethical way of life, to seek gains utilitarian, and to follow ones temperament aesthetic. ethical: adj.倫理學(xué)的,倫理的,憑處方出售的 utilitarian: adj.功利的,功利主義的，有效用的,實(shí)用的 aesthetic: adj.美的，美學(xué)的,有關(guān)美的,審美

Everyone should hold fast to his natural temperament, for his identity depends on neither his doctrine nor his possessions, but on his true self. doctrine:教條，教義；

3、法律原則,生命的意義不在奉獻(xiàn)或占有，而在創(chuàng)造，創(chuàng)造就是人的真性情的積極展開，是人在實(shí)現(xiàn)其本質(zhì)力量時(shí)所獲得的情感上的滿足。,The meaning of life lies in neither sacrifice nor possession, but in creation. To create is to actively develop your natural temperament; it generates a feeling of satisfaction because it releases your innate power.,創(chuàng)造不同于奉獻(xiàn)，奉獻(xiàn)只是完成外在的責(zé)任，創(chuàng)造卻

6、he company of people and the cultivation of taste where possession is concerned. More importantly, when so many others are rat-racing for gain, he is able to maintain a leisurely mood. leisurely： adj. 悠閑的；從容的 ，閑適的,我不是指中國(guó)士大夫式的閑情逸致，也不是指小農(nóng)式的知足保守，而是指一種不為利驅(qū)、不為物役的淡泊的生活情懷。,By that I do not mean the insouci

7、ance of the traditional Chinese literati or the myopic contentment of the peasant, but an attitude towards life that is free of the yoke of materialism. insouciance :n. 無憂無慮；漫不經(jīng)心 literati：n.文人（literatus 的復(fù)數(shù) ） myopic：adj. 近視的；目光短淺的 contentment: n. 滿足；滿意 yoke：軛；束縛；牛軛 materialism n. 唯物主義；唯物論；物質(zhì)主義,仍以寫作為例，我想不通，一個(gè)人何必要著作等身呢？倘想流芳千古，一首不朽的小詩(shī)足矣。倘無此奢求，則只要活得自在即可，寫作也不過是這活得自在的一種方式罷了。,Again writing is a case in point. I never understand why a writer should try to be prolific. If you want your name to be immortal, a good short poem will do. If you dont care about that, you may s
