the world as i see it
爱因斯坦我的世界观

How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for
what purpose heknows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But wit
hout deeper
reflection
one knowsfrom daily life that one exists for other peo
ple
—
first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness
is wholly
dependent
, and then for the many,
unknown
to us, towhose desti
nies we are bound by the ties of
sympathy
. A hundred times every day I rem
indmyself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, li
ving and dead, andthat I must
exert
myself in order to give in the same
mea
sure
as I have received and am stillreceiving. I am strongly drawn to a
fruga
l
life and am often oppressively aware that I am
engrossing
an undue amoun
t of the labor of my fellowmen. I regard class distinctions as
unjustified
and,
in the last
resort
, based on force. I also believe that a simple and
unassumin
g
life is good for everybody, physically and mentally.
我们这些肉体凡胎是多 么奇怪啊！
每个人来到这个世上都只作短暂停留，
究竟为了什么目的
却无从知晓，虽然 有时觉得自己好像有所感悟。但是，无需深入思考，
仅从日常生活就可明
白，
人是为他 人而存在的
——
首先是为这样一些人：
他们的欢笑、
健康和福祉与我们的幸福
息息相关；
其次是为那些为数众多的陌生人，
因为同情他们，
使得我们与他们 的命运联系在
了一起。每一天，我都上百次地提醒自己，我的精神和物质生活都是建立在他人
(
包括生者
和死者
)
的劳动基础上，对于我已经得到和正在得到的一切，我必须 尽力给以相同程度的回
报。我深深向往一种俭朴的生活，由于经常意识到自己占用了同胞太多的劳动而心 有不安。
我认为阶级区分是不正当的，
其最终的达成方式常常诉诸暴力。
我还认为，< br>无论是在身体上
还是心理上，过一种简单而不铺张浪费的生活对每个人都有好处。

I do not at all believe in human freedom in the
philosophical
sense. Everybo
dy acts not onlyunder
external
compulsion but also in accordance with inner
necessity
. Schopenhauer
’
ssaying,
“
A man can do what he wants, but not want what he wants
,”
has been a very
real
inspiration
to me since my youth; it has been a
continual

consolation

in the face of life
’
shardships, my own and others
’,
and an unfailing wellspring
of
tolerance
. This realizationmercifully mitigates the easily paralyzing sense
of responsibility and prevents us from takingourselves and other people all to
o seriously; it is
conducive
to a view of life which, in
particular
, gives humor
its due.
