给年轻朋友的一封信Letter to a Young Friend
My dear friend
亲爱的朋友
I know of no Medicine fit to diminish the violent natural inclination you mention; and if I did, I think I should not communicate it to you. Marriage is the proper Remedy. It is the most natural State of man, and therefore the state in which you will find solid Happiness.Your Reason against entering into it at present appears to be not well founded. The Circumstantial Advantages you have in view by Postponing it, are not only uncertain, but they are small in comparison with the Thing itself, the being married and settled. It is the Man and Woman united that makes the complete human Being, Separate she wants his force of Body and Strength of Reason; he her Softness, Sensibility and acute Discernment. Together they are most likely to succeed in the World. A single man has not nearly the value he would have in that State of Union. He is an incomplete Animal.He resembles the odd Half of a Pair of Scissors.
我知道没有药物能够消除你们所提到的那种疯狂的自然倾向;即使我知道,我想我也不该告诉你.婚姻是适当的药物。它是人类最本能的状态, 因此是一种最幸福的生活状态。你拒绝现在进入婚姻殿堂的理由显的不够充分.你认为推迟婚姻可能存在好处,不仅不一定实现,而且,那些利益跟婚姻本身以及婚后的安定相比起来就微不足道了。男人和女人只有联合起来才能组成完整的人.女人缺乏男人的力量和周密的推理,而男人缺乏女人的温柔、感性和敏锐的洞察力。因此当男人和女人联合起来。就能够无往不胜。单身和离婚生活的男男女女不可能具有婚姻生活中的价值,是一种不完善的动物。他简直好比半把剪刀--孤掌难鸣。
If you get a prudent, health wife, your Industry in your Profession, with her good Economy, will be a Fortune sufficient.
如果你拥有一位健康而谨慎的妻子,你的辛勤工作,加上她的勤俭节约,必定会创造充足的财富。
Your Affectionate Friend
您真挚的朋友
坦诚Frankness
You must study to be frank with the world:frankness is the child of honesty and courage. Say just what you mean to do, on every occasion. If a friend asks a favor, you should grant it, if it is reasonable; if not, tell him plainly why you cannot. You would wrong him and wrong yourself by equivocation of any kind.
在世间必须学会以真诚示人:率真乃是诚实与勇敢之子。无论在何种场合,都应该道出自己的真实想法。如果朋友对你有所求,对于合情合理之请,应该欣然同意;不然,应该明明白白地告诉朋友拒绝的理由。任何模棱两可的话语将会让别人误解,也会使自己蒙受冤屈。
Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or keep one. The man who requires you to do so is dearly purchased at a sacrifice. Deal kindly but firmly with all your classmates. You will find it the policy which wears best. Above all, do not appear to others what you are not.
千万不要为了结交朋友或者挽留友情而做错一事。对你有这种要求的人也会付出沉重的代价。与同学真心相对,绝不背叛。你将发现这是最有效用的准则。总之,要以真实面目示人。
If you have any fault to find with any one, tell him, not others, of what you complain. There is no more dangerous experiment than that of undertaking to do one thing before a man's face and another behind his back. We should say and do nothing to the injury of any one. It is not only a matter of principle, but also the path of peace and hornor.
如果发现某人身有瑕疵,直接告诉他你的意见,而不是诉之他人。人前一套,背后又是一套,没有什么比这更加危机四伏。任何有损他人的言语或者事情我们都应该避免。这不仅是一种做人的原则,而且也是通向平和的人际关系、获得他人尊敬之道。
墓园沉思Thoughts in a grave yard
When I look upon the tombs of the great, every emotion of envy dies in me; when I read the epitaphs of the beautiful, even inordinate desire goes out; when I meet with the grief of parents upon a tombstone, my heart melts with compassion; when I see the tomb of the parents of themselves, I consider the vanity of grieving for those who deposed them, when I consider rival wits placed side by side, or the holy men that divided the world with their contests and disputes, I reflect with sorrow and astonishment on the little competitions, factions, and debates of mankind. When I read the several dates of the tombs, of some that died yesterday, and some six hunderd years ago, I consider that great when we shall all of us be contemporaries, and make our appearance together.
当我瞻仰伟人的坟墓,心中所有的嫉妒顿时烟消云散;当我读到伟人的悼文,所有的非分之想顷刻消失殆尽;当我遇见在墓碑旁悲痛欲绝的父母亲,我的心中也满怀同情;当我看到那些父母亲自己的坟墓,我不禁感慨:既然我们很快都要追随逝者的脚步,悲伤又有何用。当我看到国王与那些将他们废黜的人躺在一起,当我想到那些争斗一生的智者,或是那些通过竞争和争执将世界分裂的圣人们被后人并排葬在一起,我对人类的那些微不足道的竞争、内讧和争论感到震惊和悲伤。当我看到一些坟墓上的日期,有的死于昨日,而有的死于六百年前,我不禁想到,有那么一天我们都会在同一个时代同时出现在世人眼前。

双语美文:不可能人人都成为富人We can't all be rich. Why not learn how to be a poser like the rest of us?Here are some tips and tricks sure to make you look and sound richer even if you're broke like the rest of us.Follow the suggestions below and look rich like the rest of us.LanguageEven if you only graduated from high school, here's how to sound like you went to Harvard. The key thing to remember about dropping big words is that not all big words are suited to everyday conversation. You want to learn those big buzz words that rich people throw around at cocktail parties . Here are some examples:faux, guache, chicque or passe - These all can be used on your next shopping trip with your rich friends. Just remember to look them up and pronounce them correctly. (Definitions from the left: Fake, cheap, fancy, outdated)vernacularThis is just a fancy word for vocabulary. Specifically vernacular refers the particular set of words and phrases that you grew up with in your hometown.moratoriumUsed in a sentence this word means putting a stop to something. Example: (There should be a moratorium on animal testing because it's cruel and inhumane.)existentialThis refers to a philosphical movement which questioned the meaning of life in the 19th century. (That is so existential) or (She's obviously going through some kind of existential crisis) works just fine.PlebsThis is what rich people use to diss the poor. "What a pleb" , or "How plebian" roughly translates to: how low class or ghetto.ClothesFit is crucial. You can still look rich without buying a three piece suit, but your clothes need to fit. For women, if you regularly sport a muffin top or plumber's crack because your pants are too tight, bra straps because your top doesn't have enough coverage, or outfits with circular cutouts, you will be pegged as ghetto and appropriately snubbed. Rich people wear loose, flowing, tasteful garments in the daylight and look like they've just come from lounging on their yacht. It also doesn't hurt to go business casual with a trendy blazer over jeans. If they save the spandex for the club, so should you.For men, it's just the opposite. Gangsters and pimps wear baggy clothes because they can't afford to get them tailored. Go out grandpa style, hike up those pants. If Kanye can rock the pink sweater vest and golfing pants then so can you.ShoesNo plastic please. Nothing says payless like sky-blue plastic wedges where your heel is hanging off the back. For men, stick with simplicity, if you spent three hundred dollars on gators with italian leather tassles, you don't look rich. And leave the sneakers for the gym.HairIf you've ever dyed your hair a color that doesn't occur in nature, this one's for you. Orange, blue, yellow (not blond), purple, green or pink are the colors of poverty. Try to stick with solid colors, natural highlights, and shoulder length bobs. For men, dial down the grease and stick with downy soft feathered styles.Rich people like to blend in so that they won't get mugged.Overall, following these tips is sure to get your foot in the door of richness. Or at the very least, get you a better table at your restaurant.我们不可能人人都成为富人。既然如此,为什么不像其他人一样学着装腔作势呢?这里有些方法和诀窍可以让你看起来和听起来更富有即使你和其他人一样一文不名的。遵循以下建议你就会看起来像其他人一样富有。语言即使你只有高中毕业的学历,这里有些建议让你听起来你在哈佛深造过。关键点是你要记住:大话之所以揭穿是因为并不是所有的大话都适合日常交谈的。你要学会那些富人们在鸡尾酒宴会上随处可用的一些无意义的大话。这里有些列子。* Faux, guache, chicque or passé---这些在你下回与你朋友逛街的时候可以使用的词。只要记得查下这些词的意思然后发音正确就可以了。(左边词的解释:假的,便宜,新奇的,过时的)* 花俏这只不过是词汇的花俏名称。花俏的词汇特别涉及到一些你在你成长的家乡所用到的一些特别词组。* 延期偿付用在一个句子中,这个词表示停止做某事。 比如(因为这种行为既残忍又没人性,所以必须停止对动物做实验。* 存在的这个涉及到19世纪有关质疑生命意义的哲学运动,像在(那太存在主义了)或者(显然她可以挺过这些存在的危机)句子中都可以使用这词。* 平民这是富人用来形容穷人的词,"太平民了",或者"多么平民啊"大概的翻译为:多么下等的阶层或者贫民窟。衣着合适是关键。只要衣服合适,即使你没有3件套,你可以依旧看起来像富人。对女士来说,如果因为你的裤子太紧而时常炫耀你腰围的赘肉或者露出屁股沟,又或者因上身没有足够的遮蔽物或者因穿露肩装而露出你的文胸肩带,那么你就会被示为贫民,毫无疑问地被冷落。 富人们白天穿宽松的,有线条感的且有品位的衣服,看起来他们好象刚从他们游艇的休息室出来。牛仔裤搭配时尚的便装去谈生意也无不妥。对男士来说,恰恰相反。匪徒和皮条客穿着宽松的衣服是因为他们负担不起两省定做的钱。扔掉这些老式装束,让那些裤子飘动起来吧。 如果肯伊能让粉红毛背心和高尔夫裤子变的很时髦,那么你同样做到。鞋子千万别穿塑胶鞋。没有什么比那些天蓝色的让你的脚后跟挂在鞋外的塑胶坡跟鞋看起来更廉价的了。对男士来说,要坚持简约风格,如果你花300多美元买双带有意大利皮质流苏的鳄鱼鞋,你看起来根本就不像富人。把这些胶底运动鞋留到健身房去用吧。发型如果你染的发色看起来不自然的话,那这不适合你。橘色,蓝色,黄色(不是金色的)紫色,绿色或者粉色都是贫民的颜色。对女士来说最好是弄些单一的发色,颜色看起来要自然,头发长度在肩上下。对男士来说,不要涂太多的润滑脂,发型要看起来柔软蓬松。富人喜欢与大家相融合这样就不会被人攻击。总之,遵循这些方法肯定可以让你跨入富人的门槛。或者至少你在住的酒店可以得到比较好的对待。
