October 20 This is a passage recommended by my CECL teacher.The Prologue to Bertrand Russell's Autobiography What I Have Lived For Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair. I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--I have found. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved. Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
Though I could not understand what it means, at least I can follow the structure... 'Cause today my article was criticized by my CECL teacher... Not just mine, all of my classmates' met the same fate... August 09 转：When falling in love...When you are busy doing something, you still open your mobile phone, waiting for his or her message,
You have fallen in love with him or her. If you like going for a walk just with him or her, You have fallen in love with him or her. When you are staying with him or her, you may pretend not to notice him or her, but when he or she leaves your eyeshot, you cannot wait looking for him or her, You have fallen in love with him or her. When he or she is hurt or ill, you concern him or her a lot, worrying him or her all the time, You have fallen in love with him or her. When he or she is close with another person, you may eat without noticing what you are eating, You have fallen in love with him or her. When you see his or her sweet smile, your corners of your mouth may also raise a elated smile, You have fallen in love with him or her. When you are reading this passage, your heart keeps thinking about one person, Well then, you have fallen in love with him or her, without doubting. It's believed that you are familiar with this passage------the chinese version~~hehe~~
Actually, it's translated by one of my good friend named Edwina Yang in college.
I think she is interesting in traslation because she has a lot of works in this field~~
From now on, I will put more here for all of you~~~~
Enjoy them~~~haha~!! August 02 轉：如果有個男孩爲你哭。。。如果有个男孩为你哭，请不要放弃他
如果有个男孩为你哭，请拉住他的手，他真的可以陪你走完一生。 一个朋友告诉我，他哭了，为了一个女孩。 “你一定很爱很爱她吧。” “是爱到不知道怎么办才好。” “是吗？” 男孩在你面前哭说明他已经快要窒息了如果你拉住他的手，他真的可以陪你走完一生，如果你放弃了他，他会很难再回到以前的自己。” 他的话音刚落，我心中突然很压抑…… 想到了他——那个曾经为我哭泣的男孩。 第一次，我决定离开他。他对我说，只要我幸福。我看见他强忍着泪水，我知道，转身时，他哭了。 第二次，我告诉他，我欺负了他。他告诉我，会原谅我，因为他爱我。他抱着我哭了，我知道他一定很失望。 第三次，情人节。他紧紧地抱着我，对我说，不要离开他。他不让我看他的脸，我知道他哭了。 最终，是他选择了离开。我知道，他是对我感到绝望了。也许是我错的太多，一切都无法挽回。我，也选择了离开。离开这个城市，逃避这里的一切。电话里，他哭泣着哀求我留下，但我却毅然决定离开。他哭了，也是最后一次为我哭…… 如今，我们都变了。他变了，变得陌生，过去，对他而言，也许只是很傻。我变了，变得麻木，过去，对我而言，也许只是遗憾。 过去我的任性，曾无数次伤害了他。现在的他，已不会像过去那样对感情认真。我知道，一切都已改变。如果，一切可以重新来过，我一定不会离开。不会离开值得一辈子去爱的人。 男孩，不轻易哭泣，只有在太爱你的时候，才会放下自尊。 女孩，如果有个男孩为你哭，请拉住他的手，他真的可以陪你走完一生…… 今天在別人的space看到了，覺得很感動，就轉過來了～
一個男孩爲一個女孩哭，我想，就只有一次吧…… |
