人生的价值
It seems to me a very difficult thing to put into words the beliefs we hold and what they make you do in your life. I think I was fortunate because I grew up in a family where there was a very deep religious feeling. I don't think it was spoken of a great deal. It was more or less taken for granted that everybody held certain beliefs and needed certain reinforcements of their own strength and that that came through your belief in God and your knowledge of prayer.
我的是什么，它在我的人生中起到了什么作用——这些问题我感到很难用语言说明明白。我认为自己很荣幸，由于我诞生在一个笃信宗教的家庭。家里人对宗教念叨得并未几。每个人心中或多或少都有某些信仰，都盼望通过某种方法取得气力，而这力气就来奉上帝并理解如何祷告。
But as I grew older I questioned a great many of the things that I knew very well my grandmother who had brought me up had taken for granted. And I think I might have been a quite difficult person to live with if it hadn't been for the fact that my husband once said it didn't do you any harm to learn those things, so why not let your children learn them? When they grow up they'll think things out for themselves.
我是在祖母身边长大的。跟着年纪的增加，我对很多祖母视作天经地义的事发生了猜忌。我甚至谢绝让孩子们接触这些东西，仿佛成了一个不近情理的人。直到有一次我丈夫劝我，这些货色你年少时也接触过，对你也并无坏处。既然如斯，何不让孩子们也有懂得它们的机遇呢？他们长大当前会独破思考这些问题的。
And that gave me a feeling that perhaps that's what we all must do—think out for ourselves what we could believe and how we could live by it. And so I came to the conclusion that you had to use this life to develop the very best that you could develop.
他的话使我觉得或者咱们每个人都应该这样做——独立思考自己应该信奉什么以及如何在生涯中坚守本人的的信奉。我以为人毕生就应当尽全力做最好的自己——我想这就是我的信奉。
I don't know whether I believe in a future life. I believe that all that you go through here must have some value, therefore there must be some reason. And there must be some “going on.” How exactly that happens I've never been able to decide. There is a future—that I'm sure of. But how, that I don't know. And I came to feel that it didn't really matter very much because whatever the future held you'd have to face it when you came to it, just as whatever life holds you have to face it exactly the same way. And the important thing was that you never let down doing the best that you were able to do—it might be poor because you might not have very much within you to give, or to help other people with, or to live your life with. But as long as you did the very best that you were able to do, then that was what you were put here to do and that was what you were accomplishing by being here.
我不知道自己是否相信未来。我相信的是我们当初阅历的所有必定有价值，因而必有某些情理，也必定预示着有些事件“将要发生”。但这些事情如何发生，我却不能决议。一定有未来——对此我坚信不疑。但它会怎么来临。我不晓得，然而着一点，我匆匆感到并不主要。（ ）因为无论未来如何，我们到时候总得面对,伤感句子，正如无论生活中发生了什么，我们都必需面对一样。真正重要的是要倾尽自己的全力。兴许你才能有限、奉献不多，无奈给予别人更多的辅助，或者无法活得那么出色，但只有你能倾尽自己的全力，你就能实现来到人间间的使命，能体现人生的价值。
And so I have tried to follow that out—and not to worry about the future or what was going to happen. I think I am pretty much of a fatalist. You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.
这就是我始终奉行的生活准则——不担忧将来的事，也不为下一刻发生的事费心。我想我算是一个信任宿命的人吧。无论产生什么，我们都得大胆面对，要害是面对的时候我们要英勇，要倾尽自己的全力。
