【讀書筆記】《沉思錄》卷六03
?
?本書簡介：
《沉思錄》是古羅馬皇帝奧勒留寫給自己的書，內(nèi)容大部分是他在鞍馬勞頓中寫成的。作品來自奧勒留對(duì)身羈宮廷的自己和自己所處混亂世界的感受，追求一種冷靜而達(dá)觀的生活。這部著作是斯多葛學(xué)派的一個(gè)里程碑，亦是溫總理放在枕邊，讀了不下百遍的書。
本書原文由古希臘文而作，英文版選擇比較權(quán)威的George Long的版本，中文版選擇何懷宏的版本作參考。筆記中的英文釋義摘自《牛津高階英漢雙解詞典》
?作者簡介：
馬可?奧勒留（Marcus Aurelius，公元121—180年），著名的“帝王哲學(xué)家”，古羅馬帝國皇帝，在希臘文學(xué)和拉丁文學(xué)、修辭、哲學(xué)、法律、繪畫方面受過很好的教育，晚期斯多葛學(xué)派代表人物之一。奧勒留也許是西方歷史上唯一的一位哲學(xué)家皇帝。他是一個(gè)比他的帝國更加完美的人，他的勤奮工作最終并沒有能夠挽救古羅馬，但是他的《沉思錄》卻成為西方歷史上的偉大名著。
卷六03
6.7?In the gymnastic exercises suppose that a man has torn thee with his nails, and by dashing against thy head has inflicted a wound. Well, we neither show any signs of vexation, nor are we offended, nor do we suspect him afterwards as a treacherous fellow; and yet we are on our guard against him, not however as an enemy, nor yet with suspicion, but we quietly get out of his way. Something like this let thy behaviour be in all the other parts of life; let us overlook many things in those who are like antagonists in the gymnasium. For it is in our power, as I said, to get out of the way, and to have no suspicion nor hatred.
?Notes：
vexation [n]1. the state of feeling upset or annoyed.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?2. a thing that upsets or annoys you.
treacherous [a]1. that cannot be trusted; intending to harm you.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 2. dangerous, especially when seeming safe.
6.8?If any man is able to convince me and show me that I do not think or act right, I will gladly change; for I seek the truth by which no man was ever injured. But he is injured who abides in his error and ignorance.
6.9?I do my duty: other things trouble me not; for they are either things without life, or things without reason, or things that have rambled and know not the way.
6.10?As to the animals which have no reason and generally all things and objects, do thou, since thou hast reason and they have none, make use of them with a generous and liberal spirit. But towards human beings, as they have reason, behave in a social spirit. And on all occasions call on the gods, and do not perplex thyself about the length of time in which thou shalt do this; for even three hours so spent are sufficient.

6.7?假設(shè)在體育竟技中一個(gè)人的指甲摳傷了你的皮膚，或者在沖撞到你的頭時(shí)使你受了傷，那好，我們不會(huì)有什么神經(jīng)質(zhì)的表現(xiàn)，不會(huì)以為他要?dú)⑽覀?，我們也不?huì)隨后懷疑他是一個(gè)背信棄義的伙伴；我們雖然還是防范他范他，但無論如何不是作為一個(gè)敵人，也不帶猜疑，而是平靜地讓開。你在你生活的所有別的方面也這樣做吧，讓我們不要對(duì)那些好比是體育場上的對(duì)手一樣的人們多心吧。因?yàn)?，正如我所說的，不抱任何猜疑或仇恨地讓開路在我的力量范圍之內(nèi)。
6.8?如果有人能夠使我相信向我展示我沒有正確地思考和行動(dòng)，我將愉快地改變自己；因?yàn)槲覍で笳胬?，而任何人都不?huì)受到真理的傷害。而那保留錯(cuò)誤和無知的人卻要因此受到傷害。
6.9?我履行我的義務(wù)，其他的事物不會(huì)使我苦惱，因?yàn)樗鼈兓蛘呤菦]有生命的物體，或者是沒有理性的事物，或者是誤入歧途或不明道路的存在。
6.10?對(duì)于那沒有理性的動(dòng)物和一般的事物和對(duì)象，由于你有理性而它們沒有，你要以一種大方和慷慨的精神對(duì)待它們。而對(duì)于人來說，由于他們有理性，你要以一種友愛的精神對(duì)待他們。在所有的場合都要禱告神靈，不要困窘于你將花多長時(shí)間做這事，因?yàn)榧词谷绱嘶トr(shí)也是足夠的。
