On Truth

論真理

The first creature of God, in the works of the days, was the light of the sense; the last, was the light of reason; and his Sabbath work ever since, is the illumina­tion of his Spirit. First he breathed light, upon the face of the matter or chaos; then he breathed light, into the face of man; and still he breatheth and inspireth light, into the face of his chosen. The poet, that beautified the sect, that was otherwise inferior to the rest, saith yet excellently well: It is a pleasure, to stand upon the shore, and to see ships tossed upon the sea; a pleasure to stand in the window of a castle, and to see a battle, and the ad­ventures thereof below: but no pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage ground of truth (a hill not to be commanded, and where the air is always clear and serene), and to see the errors, and wanderings, and mists, and tempests, in the vale below; so always that this prospect be with pity, and not with swelling or pride. Certainly, it is heaven upon earth, to have a man's mind move in charity, rest in providence, and turn upon the poles of truth.

上帝創世時首創感覺之光，末創理智之光，此後安息而顯聖靈。先以光照物質，分別混沌;次以光照人面，對其所選之人面更常耀不滅。古有詩人信非崇高，言則美善，曾有妙語云：“立岸上見浪催船行，一樂也;立城堡孔後看戰鬥進退樂也;然皆不足以比身居真理高地之樂也;真理之峯高不可及，可吸純潔之氣，可瞰谷下側行、彷徨、迷霧、風暴之變”。景象如此，但須臨之以憐世之心，而不可妄自尊大也。人心果能行愛心，安天命，運轉於真理之軸上，誠爲世上天國矣。

To pass from theological and philosophical truth to the truth of civil business; it will be acknowledged, even by those that practice it not, that clear, and round deal­ing, is the honor of man's nature; and that mixture of falsehood, is like alloy in coin of gold and silver, which may make the metal work the better, but it embaseth it. For these winding, and crooked courses are the goings of the serpent, which goeth basely upon the belly, and not upon the feet. There is no vice, that doth so cover a man with shame, as to be found false and perfidious. And therefore Montaigne said prettily, when he inquired the reason why the word of the lie should be such a disgrace and such an odious charge? Saith he, If it be well weighed, to say that a man lieth, is as much to say, as that he is brave toward God, and a coward toward men. For a lie faces God, and shrinks from man. Surely the wickedness of falsehood, and breach of faith, cannot possibly be so highly expressed, as in that it shall be the last peal, to call the judgments of God upon the genera­tions of men; it being foretold, that when Christ cometh, he shall not find faith upon the earth.

如自神學哲學之真理轉論社會事務，則人無論遵守與否，皆識一點，即公開正直之行爲人性之榮，如摻僞則如金銀幣中摻雜，用時縱然方便，其值大貶矣。蓋此類歪斜之行唯毒蛇始爲，因其無公行之足，唯有暗爬之腹也。惡行之中，令人蒙羞最大者莫過於虛僞背信。謊言之爲奇恥大辱也，蒙田探究真理，曾雲：“如深究此事，指人說謊猶言此人對上帝勇而對人怯也，蓋說謊者敢於面對上帝，而畏避世人。”善哉此言。虛僞背信之惡，最有力之指責莫過於稱之爲向上帝鳴最後警鐘，請來裁判無數世代之人，蓋聖經早已預言，基督降世時，“世上已無信義可言矣”。

Night

夜

Night has fallen over the country. Through the trees rises the red moon, and the stars are scarcely seen. In the vast shadow of night the coolness and the dews descend. I sit at the open window to enjoy them; and hear only the voice of the summer wind. Like black hulks, the shadows of the great trees ride at anchor on the billowy sea of grass. I cannot see the red and blue flowers, but I know that they are there. Far away in the meadow gleams the silver Charles. The tramp of horses' hoofs sounds from the wooden bridge. Then all is still save the continuous wind of the summer night. Some­times I know not if it be the wind or the sound of the neighboring sea. The village clock strikes; and I feel that I am not alone.

夜幕已經籠罩着鄉間。一輪紅月正從樹林後面徐徐升起，天上幾乎見不到星星。在這蒼茫的夜色中，寒氣與露水降下來了。我坐在敞開的窗前欣賞着這夜色，耳邊只聽見那夏天的風聲。大樹的陰影像黑色的大船停泊在波浪起伏的茫茫草海上。雖然我見不到紅色和藍色的花朵，但是我知道它們在哪兒。遠處的草地上，銀色的查爾斯河閃閃發光。木橋那邊傳來了踢嗒踢嗒的馬啼聲。接着，萬物俱寂，只留下夏夜不斷的風聲。有時，我絲毫辨別不出它究竟是風聲，還是鄰近的海濤聲。村子裏的時鐘敲起來了，於是我覺得並不孤單。

How different it is in the city! It is late, and the crowd is gone. You step out upon the balcony, and lie in the very bosom of the cool, dewy night as if you folded her garments about you. Beneath lies the public walk with trees, like a fathomless, black gulf, into whose si­lent darkness the spirit plunges, and floats away with some beloved spirit clasped in its embrace. The lamps are still burning up and down the long street. People go by with grotesque shadows, now foreshortened, and now lengthening away into the darkness and vanishing, while a new one springs up behind the walker, and seems to pass him revolving like the sail of a windmill. The iron gates of the park shut with a jangling clang. There are footsteps and loud voices; — a tumult; — a drunken brawl; — an alarm of fire; — then silence a- gain. And now at length the city is asleep, and we can see the night. The belated moon looks over the rooftops and finds no one to welcome her. The moonlight is bro­ken. It lies here and there in the squares, and the open­ing of the streets — angular like blocks of white marble.

城市的夜晚是那樣的不同呵!夜深了，人羣已經散去。你走到陽臺上，躺在涼爽和露水瀰漫的夜幕中，彷彿你用它作爲外衣裹住了你的身子。陽臺下面是栽着樹木的人行道，像一條深不可測的黑色的海灣，飄忽的精靈就投入了這漆黑沉靜的海灣，擁抱着某個所愛的精靈隨波盪漾而去。長長的街道上，街燈依然到處亮着。人們從燈下走過，拖曳着各種各樣奇形怪狀的影子，影子時而縮短，時而伸長，最後消失在黑暗之中;同時，一個新的影子又突然出現在那個行路人的身後，這影子好似風車上的翼板一樣，轉到他身體的前方去了。公園的鐵門噹啷一聲關上，耳邊可以聽到腳步聲和響亮的說話聲;一陣喧鬧;一陣酒醉後的吵嚷聲;一陣火災的報警聲;接着，寂靜如初。於是，城市終於沉睡，我們終於能夠看到夜的景色。姍姍來遲的月亮從屋頂後面探出臉來，發覺沒有人在歡迎她。破碎的月光東一塊，西一塊，撒落在各個廣場上和各條大街的開闊處一像一塊塊白色的大理石_樣棱角分明。

Human Life Like a Poem

人生如詩

I think that, from a biological standpoint, human life almost reads like a poem. It has its own rhythm and beat, its internal cycles of growth and decay. It begins with innocent childhood, followed by awkward adoles­cence trying awkwardly to adapt itself to mature society, with its young passions and follies, its ideals and ambitions; then it reaches a manhood of intense activities, profiting from experience and learning more about socie­ty and human nature; at middle age, there is a slight ea­sing of tension, a mellowing of character like the ripening of fruit or the mellowing of good wine, and the gradual acquiring of a more tolerant, more cynical and at the same time a kindlier view of life; then in the sunset of our life, the endocrine glands decrease their activity, and if we have a true philosophy of old age and have ordered our life pattern according to it, it is for us the age of peace and security and leisure and contentment; finally, life flickers out and one goes into eternal sleep, never to wake up again. One should be able to sense the beauty of this rhythm of life, to appreciate, as we do in grand symphonies, its main theme, its strains of conflict and the final resolution.

我想，從生物學的觀點來說，人生品味起來就像一首詩。它有其自身的韻律和節拍，有其生老病死的內在循環過程。它以天真爛漫的童年爲序曲;接着便是青澀的青春期，帶着青年人的熱情和愚蠢、理想和抱負，羞澀、懵懂地邁向成人的世界;然後便進入一個活力充沛的成年時期，這個時期人們從閱歷中獲益，對社會及人性也有了更多瞭解;到中年之時，壓力才稍爲減輕，人的性格就像熟透的水果或醇厚的美酒一般，更爲圓熟，這時候，對人生的態度也逐漸變得更寬容、更隨性、更仁慈。此後，便到了我們的遲暮之年，內分泌腺的活動逐漸趨緩。如果我們對年老持一種真正的達觀態度，並以此來安排我們的生活方式，那麼，這個時期對我們來說，就是安寧、穩定、閒逸和滿足的時期;最終，生命的火光搖曳不定，之後人將永遠地長眠，不再醒來。人應該能夠體會這種人生之韻的美，應該能夠像欣賞盛大的交響樂那樣，去欣賞人生的主旋律，欣賞它的衝突片斷和最後的尾聲。

The movements of these cycles are very much the same in a normal life, but the music must be provided by the individual himself. In some souls, the discordant note becomes harsher and harsher and finally overwhelms or submerges the main melody. Sometimes the discordant note gains so much power that the music can no longer go on, and the individual shoots himself with a pistol or jumps into a river. But that is because his original leitmo­tif has been hopelessly over-shadowed through the lack of a good self-education. Otherwise the normal human life runs to its normal end in a kind of dignified movement and procession.

這些循環過程的運動在每個常人的生命中並無二至，但是生命的樂曲須由我們每個人自己來譜寫。在有些人的靈魂之中，不和諧的音符變得愈加刺耳，到最後完全蓋過或是湮沒了生命的主旋律。有時候，這種不和諧的音符會如此強大以至於生命的樂曲不能繼續演奏，而使人飲彈自盡或者投河而亡。但那是由於缺乏良好的自我修養，人最初的主旋律就已投上了無望的陰影。否則，一t正常人的生活會以一種尊貴的方式演進而最後得贓常結束。

No one can say that a life with childhood, manhood and old age is not a beautiful arrangement; the day has its morning, noon and sunset, and the year has its sea­sons, and it is good that it is so. There is no good or bad in life, except what is good according to its own season. And if we take this biological view of life and try to live according to the seasons, no one but a conceited fool or an impossible idealist can deny that human life can be lived like a poem.

沒有人能夠說，由童年、成年和老年組成的人生不是一種完美的安排;就像一天有早晨、中午和晚上，一年有四季，如此存在就是美好的。人生並沒有好壞之分，只要符合我們所處的階段，生活就都是人生的大好時光。而如果我們採納這種看待人生的生物學觀點，並且，儘量依照不同的階段來生活，那麼，除了狂妄自大的蠢人或不可理喻的理想主義者之外，沒有人能夠否認：人生可以活得像一首詩。
