Diogenes held that the good man was self-sufficient and did not require material comforts or wealth.He believed thatwealth and possessions constrained humanitys natural state of freedom.In keeping with his philosophy,he was perefectly satisfied with making his home in a large tub discarded from the temple of Cybele,the goddess of nature. This earthen tub,called a pithos,and formerly been used for holding wine or oil for the sacrifices at the temple. One day,Alexander the Great ,conqueror of half the civilized world,saw Diogenes sitting in this tub in the sunshine .So the king,surrounded by his countries,approached Diogenes and said,I am Alexander the Great.The philosopher replied rather contemptuously,I am Diogenes,the Cynic.Alexander then asked him if he could help him in any way. Yes,shot back Diogenes,dont stand between me and the sun.A surprised Alexander then replied quickly,If I were not Alexander,I would be Diogenes.提奥奇尼斯是公元前四世纪一位著名的希腊哲学家,就是他创立了犬儒派哲学。他经常在白天点着灯笼四处走动、张望，像是在找什么东西似的。哪人们问起他这古怪行为时，他会回答说：“我正在寻找正人君子。”提奥奇尼斯认为好人是自给自足的，不需要物质享受和财富。他认为财富、财产束缚了人们天生的自由状态。与他的哲学相一致，他拿一个从别人从自然之母的庙里丢弃的大坛作为自己的家，还对此万分满意。这个陶制的大坛叫做圣坛，过去在庙里是用来盛装祭祀用的酒和油的。一天，征服了半个文明世界的亚历山大大帝看见提奥奇尼斯坐在大坛里晒太阳。于是这位君主在大臣们的簇拥下走过去，对提奥奇尼斯说：“我是亚历山大大帝。”哲学家相当傲慢地回答说：“我是提奥奇尼斯犬儒学者。”然后亚历山大问他是否需要任何帮助。“是的”，提奥奇尼斯驳回道，“别站在我和太阳之间。”大吃一惊的亚历大继而迅速回答道：“假如我不是亚历山大，我就会是提奥奇斯。”A Psalm of Life 人生礼颂 有声2005-08-19 O-ren 点击: 73568A Psalm of Life 人生礼颂 有声Download AudioHerry Wadsworth Longfellow/享利.沃兹渥斯.朗费罗Tell me not in mournful numbers, 请别用哀伤的诗句对我讲；Life is but an empty dream!人生呵，无非是虚梦一场！For the soul is dead that slumbers 因为沉睡的灵魂如死一般，And things are not what they seem. 事物的表里并不一样。Life is real! Life is earnest!人生是实在的！人生是热烈的！And the grave is not its goal;人生的目标决不是坟墓；Dust thou art , to dust returnest,你是尘土，应归于尘土。Was not spoken of the soul.此话指的并不是我们的精神。Not enjoyment , and not sorrow, 我们的归宿并不是快乐，Is our destined and our way;也不是悲伤，But to act, 实干That much to-morrow.才是我们的道路，Find us farther than to-day.每天不断前进，蒸蒸蒸日上。Art is long , and time is fleeting. 光阴易逝，而艺海无涯，And our hearts , though stout and brave. 我们的心哪虽然勇敢坚强，Still , like muffled drums , are beating却像被布蒙住的铜鼓，Funeral marches to the grave。常把殡葬的哀乐擂响。In the worlds broad field of battle,在这人生的宿营地，In the bivouac of Life,在这辽阔的世界战场，Be not like dumb,driven cattle!别做无言的牲畜任人驱赶，Be a hero in the strife!做一名英雄汉立马横枪！Trust no future.howeer pleasant!别相信未来，哪怕未来多么欢乐！Let the dead Past bury its dead!让死去的往昔将死亡一切埋葬！Act,act in the living Present!上帝在上，我们胸怀勇气，Let us,then,be up and doing,让我们起来干吧，With a heart for any fate;下定决心，不管遭遇怎样；Still achieving,still pursuing不断胜利，不断追求，Learn to labour and to wait.要学会苦干和耐心等待。 Friends 朋友 有声2005-08-19 O-ren 点击: 76810Friends 朋友 有声Download AudioA true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.真正的朋友是一个可以援手帮助并感动你心扉的人。Theres always going to be people that hurt you,so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.别人常常伤害你，所以你该继续付出信任，并小心挑选你下次信任的人。Make youself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.在你想了解别人也想让别人了解你之前，先完善并了解自己。Remember:Whatever happens,happens for a reason.要记住：任何事情的发生都有因有起。How many people actually have 8 true friends?Hardly anyone I know.But some of us have all right friends and good friends.有多少人可以拥有八个真正的朋友？就我所知少之又少。但我们会有泛泛之交和好友。If I were a Boy Again 假如我又回到了童年 有声2005-08-19 O-ren 点击: 82904If I were a Boy Again 假如我又回到了童年 有声Download AudioIf I were a boy again, I would practice perseverance more often, and never give up a thing because it was or inconvenient. If we want light, we must conquer darkness. Perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. “There are only two creatures,” syas a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramidsthe eagle and the snail.” If I were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention; I would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. I would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once. The habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begain early enough. I often hear grown up people say “ I could not fix my attention on the sermon or book, although I wished to do so” , and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth. If I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and on every possible occasion. It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. It only needs early cultivation to become a power.假如我又回到了童年，我做事要更有毅力，决不因为事情艰难或者麻烦而撒手不干，我们要光明，就得征服黑暗。毅力在效果上有时能同天才相比。俗话说：“能登上金字塔的生物，只有两种鹰和蜗牛。”假如我又回到了童年，我就要养成专心致志的习惯；有事在手，就决不让任何东西让我分心。我要牢记：优秀的滑冰手从不试图同时滑向两个不同的方向。如果及早养成这种专心致志的习惯，它将成为我们生命的一部分。我常听成年人说：“虽然我希望能集中注意听牧师讲道或读书，但往往做不到。”而原因就是年轻时没有养成这种习惯。假如我现在能重新开始我的生命，我就要更注意记忆力的培养。我要采取一切可能的办法，并且在一切可能的场合，增强记忆力。要正确无误地记住一些东西，在开始阶段的确要作出一番小小的努力；但要不了多久，记忆力本身就会起作用，使记忆成为轻而易举的事，只需及早培养，记忆自会成为一种才能。If I were a boy again, I would cultivate courage. “Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage, nothing so cruel and pitiless as cowardice,” syas a wise author. We too often borrow trouble, and anticipate that may never appear.” The fear of ill exceeds the ill we fear.” Dangers will arise in any career, but presence of mind will often conquer the worst of them. Be prepared for any fate, and there is no harm to be freared. If I were a boy again, I would look on the cheerful side. Life is very much like a mirror: if you smile upon it, I smiles back upon you; but if you frown and look doubtful on it, you will get a similar look in return. Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but of all that come in contact with it. “ who shuts love out ,in turn shall be shut out from love.” If I were a boy again, I would school myself to say no more often. I might write pages on the importance of learning very early in life to gain that point where a young boy can stand erect, and decline doing an unworthy act because it is unworthy. If I were a boy again, I would demand of myself more courtesy towards my companions and friends, and indeed towards strangers as well. The smallest courtesies along the rough roads of life are like the little birds that sing to us all winter long, and make that season of ice and snow more endurable. Finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the sole purpose of life, I would , if I were a boy again, I would still try harder to make others happy.假如我又回到了童年，我就要培养勇气。一位明智的作家曾说过：“世上没有东西比勇气更温文尔雅，也没有东西比懦怯更残酷无情。”我们常常过多地自寻烦恼，杞人忧天。“怕祸害比祸害本身更可怕。”凡事都有危险，但镇定沉着往往能克服最严重的危险。对一切祸福做好准备，那么就没有什么灾难可以害怕的了。假如我又回到了童年，我就要事事乐观。生活犹如一面镜子：你朝它笑，它也朝你笑；如果你双眉紧锁，向它投以怀疑的目光，它也将还以你同样的目光。内心的欢乐不仅温暖了欢乐者自己的心，也温暖了所有与之接触者的心。“谁拒爱于门外，也必将被爱拒诸门外。”假如我又回到了童年，我就要养成经常说“不”字的习惯。一个少年要能挺得起腰，拒绝做不应该做的事，就因为这事不值得做。我可以写上好几页谈谈早年培养这一点的重要性。假如我又回到了童年，我就要要求自己对伙伴和朋友更加礼貌，而且对陌生人也应如此。在坎坷的生活道路上，最细小的礼貌犹如在漫长的冬天为我们歌唱的小鸟，那歌声使冰天雪地的寒冬变得较易忍受。最后，假如我又回到了童年，我不会力图为自己谋幸福，好像这就是人生唯一的目的；与之相反，我要更努力为他人谋幸福。如果世界是个一百人的村落 有声2005-08-19 O-ren 点击: 40822如果世界是个一百人的村落 有声Download AudioTo all my friends and loved onesLove from meUseful Perspective致朋友们以及我所爱的人们这是一份爱的礼物也是一席金玉良言If the world were a Village of 100 People如果世界是个一百人的村落_David J.Smith/大卫.史密斯 Shelath Armstrory谢拉.阿姆斯壮If we could shrink the earths population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the exsting human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:如果我们把全世界的人口按照现有压缩为一个人的村子，情况就会如同以下：There would be:57 Asians21 Europeans10 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south8 Africans这个村子里有：57 人是亚洲人21 人是欧洲人14 人来自西半球的南、北美洲8 人是非洲人52 would be female48 would be male52 人是女性48 人是男性70 would be non-while30 would be white70 人是有色人种30 人是白人70 would be non-christian30 would be Christian70 人是非基督教徒30 人是基督徒89 would be heterosexual11 would be homosexual89 人是异性恋者11 人是同性恋者6 people would possess 59 of the entire worlds wealthand all 6 would be from the United States.6 人拥有全世界59的财富而且这6 人全是美国人80 would live in substandard housing70 would be unable to read50 would suffer from malnutrition1 would be near death;

我们所有的痛苦都能得到安慰；But when youth,the dream,departs 可是梦境似的青春一旦消逝，It takes something from our hearts, 它带走了我们心中的某种美好，And it never comes again. 从此一去不复返。We are stronger, and are better, 我们变得日益刚强、更臻完美，Under manhoods sterner reign; 在严峻的成年生活驱使下；Still we feel that something sweet 可是依然感到甜美的情感，Following youth, with flying feet, 已随着青春飞逝，And will never come again. 不再返回。Something beautiful is vanished, 美好已经消逝，And we sigh for it in vain; 我们枉自为此叹息；We behold it everywhere, 尽管在天地之间，On the earth, and in the air, 我们处处能见青春的魅力，But it never comes again! 可是它不再返回！The Life I Desired 我所追求的生活 有声2005-08-19 O-ren 点击: 62430The Life I Desired 我所追求的生活 有声Download Audio威廉.萨姆塞特.毛姆/William Somerset MaughamThat must be the story of innumerable couples, and the pattern of lifeof life it offers has a homely grace. It reminds you of a placid rivulet, meandering smoohtly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees, till at last it falls into the vasty sea; but the sea is so calm, so silent, so infifferent, that you are troubled suddently by a vague uneasiness. Perhaps it is only by a kink in my nature, strong in me even in those days, that i felt in such an existence, the share of the great majority, something amiss. I recognized its social value. I saw its ordered happiness, but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course. There seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights. In my heart was desire to live more dangerously. I was not unprepared for jagged rocks and treacherous, shoals it I could only have change-change and the exicitement of unforeseen.这一定是世间无数对夫妻的生活写照，这种生活模式给人一种天伦之美。它使人想起一条平静的溪流，蜿蜒畅游过绿茵的草场，浓荫遮蔽，最后注入烟波浩渺的汪洋大海；但是大海太过平静，太过沉默，太过不动声色，你会突然感到莫名的不安。也许这只是我自己的一种怪诞想法，在那样的时代，这想法对我影响很深：我觉得这像大多数人一样的生活，似乎欠缺了一点儿什么。我承认这种生活有社会价值，我也看到了它那井然有序的幸福，但我血液里的冲动却渴望一种更桀骜不驯的旅程这样的安逸中好像有一种叫我惊惧不安的东西我的心渴望一种更加惊险的生活。只要生活中还能有变迁以及不可知的刺激，我愿意踏上怪石嶙峋的山崖，奔赴暗礁满布的海滩。The More Loving One 让我们成为更有爱心的人 有声2005-08-19 O-ren 点击: 43006The More Loving One 让我们成为更有爱心的人 有声Download Audio-W.H.Auden
