  经典英语文章翻译1

  We"ve all heard the quote, "Be Kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."

  我们都听过这句话:“要善良,因为你遇到的每个人都在经历某种痛苦。”

  My husband and son died within two years of each other. From my personal experience, I believe that if we aren"t careful, grief can become a rather self-involved process in which we can become so focused on our own suffering that we miss the opportunity to connect with, and possibly bring comfort to, someone else who may be going through a similar experience.

  我的丈夫和儿子两年内相继去世。从我的个人经验来看,我相信我们一不小心就会被伤痛左右,以自己为中心,我们会变得过于关注自己的痛苦,而错失和正经历相似痛苦的人接触的机会,也无法给予他们安慰。

  Six months after my husband died, I was sinking in the quicksand of grief. I could not pull myself out of the misery.

  那时,我真的认为自己的生活要比身边任何人都不容易。生活给我上了完美的一课,通过这次不幸我认清了一个事实:顾影自怜使我看不到别人,只看到自己。

  In that moment, I actually believed that my life was more difficult than anyone else around me. Life handed me a perfectly wrapped lesson that opened my eyes to the fact that through my suffering I had allowed myself to become blinded by my self-pity.

  我在健康出现问题时吸取了这个教训。我的外科手术引发了并发症,最终住院4天。那段时期我极其痛苦,身体的疼痛和精神上的伤痛把我夹在中间,我的生活一团糟。

  The lesson presented itself in a health crisis. I had complications from a surgical procedure and ended up being hospitalized for four days. I was in an extreme amount of pain during this time. Between the physical pain and the emotional pain of grief, I was an absolute mess.

  我也应该告诉你我是一名注册护士。对护士而言,很难接受自己成为病人并进行药物治疗这种事。

  I should also tell you that I am a Registered Nurse. As a nurse, it is hard to be on the receiving end of medicine as the patient.

  住院的前三个晚上同一位护士护理我。她挺年轻,可能快30岁。头两个晚上几乎不怎么跟我说话,除了定期来给我送药。很明显她不知道我精神上有多痛苦。问问你的病人感觉怎么样能有多难?我认定她是不合格的护士,缺乏同情心,而且我依然沉浸在自己精神和身体的痛苦中。

  The first three nights that I was in the hospital, the same nurse took care of me. She was young, maybe in her mid to late 20s, and she hardly interacted with me at all the first two nights, other than to give my medications as scheduled. She obviously had no idea how much emotional pain I was in. How hard is it to ask your patient how she"s feeling? I wrote her off as a bad nurse who had little empathy, and remained absorbed in my own emotional and physical pain.

  第三天晚上这个年轻的护士开始打开了话匣子,她问我感觉怎样(终于问了!)。我告诉她我正挣扎于沮丧和痛苦之中,因为我丈夫死于一场飞机事故。

  The third night the young nurse was a little more talkative. She asked me how I was feeling (finally!). I told her that I was struggling with depression and grief because my husband had died in an airplane accident.

  她看着我,跟我说她丈夫就在两个月前刚刚去世。我有点不知所措,说不出话,我被惊到了!

  She looked at me and told me that her husband had died too, just two months earlier. I was stunned. Speechless. Shocked.

  Never, in any of the possibilities that my mind entertained of why this nurse was so stand-offish with me, did I even consider that she might be in the same pain I was. Not only was she grieving as I was, but she was having to take care of me, instead of caring for herself and her family.

  我从未想过她对我如此冷淡会是因为这个,我甚至都没想过她可能会有同样的痛苦。她不仅和我一样悲痛,而且还要照顾我,而不是照顾她自己和家人。

  我们继续讨论分享我们丈夫和孩子的事,我觉着我们那天晚上都给了彼此一点帮助。

  We went on to talk and share our stories about our late husbands and children. I like to think that we helped each other a bit that night.

  我们之间的共同点比我想的要多,我们都成了单亲妈妈,孩子都还小,而且都是护士。但也就这些了,她丈夫没有保险,家里经济来源很少,她就靠着一点工资养活家里的男孩儿们。我觉着自愧不如,我意识到自己该有多知足。坦白说,这次经历改变了我对生活的看法。

  We had much more in common than I would have believed. We were both widowed single moms with young children, and nurses. But, that was where the similarities ended. Her husband had no insurance policy. She had very little family support. She was working paycheck to paycheck to support her boys. I was humbled. I realized how much I had to be grateful for. And, frankly, I never saw life the same way after this experience.

  这次的经历改变了我的生活,之前我总是对自己的同情心引以为傲,但现在我意识到了我根本没理解同情的真谛。

  This experience was a life-changing event for me. I had always prided myself on being an empathetic person, but I realize now that I had not really understood what being empathetic meant.

  想要具备真正的同情心,你的眼光必须超越你自己的伤痛,以局外人的角度看待自己的痛苦。从那之后,我看待别人的眼光也不一样了。

  To truly be empathetic, you must be able to see beyond your own pain to be witness to the pain. I never looked at another person in the same way after this experience.

  杂货店的收银员结账时有点粗鲁,好像还很着急?谁知道他今天、或者这周、或者这一生发生了什么呢?可能他最近失去了爱人或孩子,可能他蒙受了很多损失,我无法知晓他经历了什么。我是谁呀,怎么能去评判他呢?

  The cashier checking me out at the grocery store who seemed rude and in a hurry? Who knows what was going on in his day, week, life? Maybe he recently lost a spouse or a child. Maybe he has experienced compounded losses. I had no way of knowing what this man was going through. Who was I to judge him?

  有些事情我要感谢死亡,它教会了我同情身边人,使我知道了我们都经受着某种痛苦,而有些是别人看不到的。这些都是死亡馈赠给我的,我会永远心存感激。

  I thank death for very few things. The gift of empathy for my fellow man, and understanding that we all suffer in ways that aren"t always visible, are presents from death that I will always be grateful for.

  Always take the time to be kind. Even when you"re suffering with your own pain. And don"t assume that someone else has it easier than you. You never know the battles someone else is fighting.

  Solitude

  孤独

  I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of the time.To be in company,even with the best, is soon wearisome. I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will. Solitude is not measured by the miles of space that intervene between a man and his fellows. "The really diligent student in one of the crowded hives of Cambridge College is as solitary as a dervish in the desert. The farmer can work alone in the field or the woods all day, hoeing or chopping,and not feel lonesome. beacause he is employed; but when he comes home at night he cannot sit down in a room alone, at the mercy of his thoughts, but must be where he can "see the folks," and recreate, and,as he thinks. remunerate himself for his day"s solitude; and hence he wonders how the student can sit alone in the house all night and most of the day without ennui and "the blues"; but he does not realize that the student, though in the house, is still at work in his field, and chopping in his woods, as the farmer ire his. and in turn seeks the same recreation and society that the latter does, though it may be a more condensed form of it.

  大部分时候,我发现独处都是有益于健康的。有人陪伴,即使是最好的同伴,不久也会心生厌烦,兴致将消散。我爱独处。我没有遇见比孤独更好的伴侣了。我们置身国外,立行人群之中,通常比独处室内更加寂寞。一个思考着的或工作着的人总是孤独的,就让他去他想去的地方吧。孤独不是以和同伴之间的距离里程来衡量的。真正勤奋的学生,在剑桥学院一个拥挤的蜂房里,就像沙漠中的苦行僧一样孤单。农夫可以整日在田间或林中独自工作,耕地或者伐木,却并不感到寂寞,因为他有活儿干;可是当他晚上回到家中,却不能在房间坐下独自思考,而必须去“能看到乡亲”的地方消遣娱乐,正如他所想的,去补偿他五天的孤寂;因此他不明白学生如何可以整日整夜地独坐在家里,而不感到倦怠和“优郁”;但他没有意识到,学生虽然身处室内,却依然在自己的田野上耕耘,在自己的森林中采伐.就像农夫在他的田地林间工作一样,之后学生也和农夫一样要去寻求消遣,山要去交朋结友,只是娱乐方式可能更加简明一些。

  Society is commonly too cheap. We meet at very short intervals, not having had time to acquire any new value for each other. We meet at meals three times a day, and give each other a new taste of that old mushy cheese that we are. We have had to agree on a certain set of rules, called etiquette and politeness, to make this frequent meeting tolerable and that we need not come to open war.We meet at the post office, and at the sociable,and about the fireside every night; we live thick and are in each other"s way, and stumble over one another, and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another. Certainly less frequency would suffice for all important and hearty communications. Consider the girls in a factory-never alone, hardly in their dreams. It would be better if there were but one inhabitant to a square mile, as where I live.The value of a man is not in his skin.

  社会交际往往极其廉价。我们相聚的时间十分短暂,没有足够的时间让彼此获得任何有价值的新事物。我们在一日三餐的时候见面,我们就如陈腐的奶略,却让彼此相互品尝出新味道。我们必须一致同意若干条规则,也就是我们所谓的礼节和礼貌,使这种经常的聚会相安无事,我们还要一致同意我们没有争吵的必要。我们在邮局碰面,在社交场合碰面,每天晚上在炉火边碰面;我们生活得很拥挤,相互干扰,彼此牵绊,我想,我们因此失去了对彼此的尊重。当然,所有重要的、真诚的沟通,次数少一些就足够了。想一想工厂里的女工——永远不会独处,甚至在梦中也难得是独自一人。如果一平方英里只有一个居民,就像我这样,那要好多了。一个人的价值不在于他的外在。
