“Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You’re by no means alone on that score; you’ll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You’ll learn from them—if you want to. Just as some day, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education. It’s history. It’s poetry.” He stopped and took a big drink out of his highball. Then he started again. Boy, he was really hot. I was glad I didn’t try to stop him or anything.“I’m not trying to tell you that only educated and scholarly men are able to contribute something valuable to the world. It’s not so. But I do say that educated and scholarly men, if there brilliant and creative to begin with—which, unfortunately, is rarely the case—tend to leave infinitely more valuable records behind them than men
“接觸到了很多事之後,你就會發現,你不是第一個對人類的行為感到困惑、害怕甚至是厭惡的人。在這方麵,你絕對不是第一人。了解這一點會使你激動,備受鼓舞。許許多多的人正如現在的你一樣,在道德和精神上都感到困惑。幸運的是,其中的一些會記錄自己的煩惱。如果你願意的話,將向他們學習。正如某一天,如果你有了可以教授別人的東西,就會有人向你學習,這是非常美妙又互惠互利的安排。而且,這不是教育,這是曆史,這是詩。”他說到這兒停了下來,喝了一大口冰水飲料,接著他又繼續往下說。哦,他說得正在興頭上,我很慶幸自己沒有做打斷他之類的事情。他說:“我不是想和你說,隻有受過教育、有學識的人才能對世界做出貢獻。但我的確承認受過教育、有學識的人,如果一開始他們也是既聰明又極具創造力(但實際上這種情況很少),相比於僅僅是才華橫溢又具有創造精
do who are merely brilliant and creative. They tend to express themselves more clearly, and they usually have a passion for following their thoughts through to the end. And—most important—nine times out of then they have more humility than the unscholarly thinker. Do you follow me at all?”
神的人,他們可能會留下更多寶貴的記錄。他們往往能更加清晰地表達自己的想法,也喜歡從始至終堅持自己的想法。而且——最重要的是——他們十個中有九個比那些沒學識的思考者更謙虛。你明白我的意思嗎?”
“Yes, sir.”
”。生先,白明我“
