The Meaning of Life   

 

生命的意义

 

Hold fast,and let go:understand this paradox,and you stand at the very gate of wisdom.

 

既要紧紧抓住，也要懂得放手：理解这个自相矛盾的警句，你就会站在通往睿智的大门口。

 

 

Don't spend and waste your lives accurmulating that will only turn to dust and ashes.Pursue not so much the material as the ideal,for ideals alone invest life with meaning and are of enduring worth.

不要浪费生命去积聚财富，它们终将变成尘土与灰烬。不要把追求物质享受当成自己的理想，只有让生命变得有意义的理想，才具有永恒的价值。

Add love to a house and you have a home.Add righteousness to a city and you have a community.Add truth to a pile of red bricks and you have a school.Add religion to the humblest of edifices and you have a sanctuary.Add justice to the farflung round of human endeavor and you have civilization.Put them all together,exalt them above their present imperfections,add to them the vision of hurman kind redeemed,forever free of need and strife and you have a future lighted with the radiant colors of hope.

将爱倾注到一座房子上，你便会拥有一个家；将正义赋予一座城市，你便拥有了一个社会；将真 理灌注到一堆红砖上面，你便拥有了一所学校；将信仰灌输到一座最简陋的建筑物上，你便拥有了一座教堂；将公道注入成千上万人的努力中，你便拥有了文明。将 它们放在一起，完善它们的不完美这处，再加上人类自我拯救、远离贫困与战争的前景，你便拥有了一个充满绚烂希望的未来。
