传道者感叹到:
“
著书立说没有止境
”
,却没发觉他已高度评价了作家这一职业。
的确
,写作、旅行、积聚财富都是没有终结的。一个问题引发另外一个问题。我
们不断学习,
且永远达不到心中所渴望的那般学识渊博。
我们永远雕刻不出自
己
心仪的塑像。当发现一个新大陆
,
或
翻过一座山脉时,我们总会看到远方还有未
曾涉足的海洋与陆地。
宇宙浩渺,
总会有供我们勤奋努力的东西,
总会有供我们
p>
探索的空间。
它不像卡莱尔的著作,
可以读
完。
即使在其一角,
在一个私人花园,
或一个农庄附近,
四季轮回,
天气瞬息万变,
< br>哪怕在那里生活了一辈子,
也总会
有让我们惊喜的事情。

making
books
there
is
no
end,
complained
the
Preacher;
and
did
not
perceive
how
highly
he
was
praising
letters
as
an
occupation.
There
is
no
end,
indeed,
to
making
books or experiments, or to
travel, or
to
gathering wealth. Problem
gives rise
to
problem.
We
may
study
for
ever,
and
we
are
never
as
learned
as
we
would.
We
have
never
made
a
statue
worthy
of
our
dreams.
And
when
we
have
discovered
a
continent, or crossed a chain of
mountains,
it
is
only to
find another ocean or another
plain
upon
the
further
side.
In
the
infinite
universe
there
is
room
for
our
swiftest
diligence and to
spare. It is not like the works of Carlyle, which
can be read to an end.
Even
in a corner of
it,
in a private park, or
in the
neighbourhood of a single
hamlet,
the weather and the
seasons keep so deftly changing that although we
walk there for a
lifetime there will be
always something new to startle and delight us.

婚姻的旅程
中文原文:
当你步入婚姻的殿堂,<
/p>
你可能认为已经爬到了山顶,
剩下的只是悠闲地沿着平缓
的山坡下山。
然而,
这只是恋爱的结束,
婚姻的开始。
拥有一颗骄傲而又叛逆的
心,坠
入爱河与赢得爱情都是难事;但维持爱情也很重要,夫妻都应相敬如宾
,
互相关爱。当真爱起始于圣坛之时,夫妻之间便开始了一场智慧与慷慨的竞争,
一场为了一个不可能实现的理想而持续一生的奋斗。
不可能实现?啊,
< br>当然不可
能,因为他们不是一个人,而是两个呀。
参考译文:
Again,
when
you
have
married
your
wife,
you
would
think
you
were
got
upon
a
hilltop, and
might begin to
go downward by an easy slope.
But
you
have only
ended
courting to begin
marriage. Falling
in
love and
winning
love are often difficult tasks
to
overbearing
and
rebellious
spirits;
but
to
keep
in
love
is
also
a
business
of
some
importance, to
which both
man and
wife
must
bring kindness
and goodwill.
The
true
love
story
commences
at
the
altar,
when
there
lies
before
the
married
pair
a
most
beautiful
contest
of
wisdom
and
generosity
,
and
a
life-long
struggle
towards
an
unattainable
ideal.
Unattainable?
Ay
, surely
unattainable,
from the
very
fact
that
they
are two instead of one.
中文原文:
正是因为不停地追求进取
,
我们才感到生活幸福。
一件事完成后,
另一件随之而
