　　：自我意識　Self-Awareness

　　The man who is aware of himself is henceforth independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and hrough with profound yet temperate happiness. Healone lives, while other people, slaves of ceremony, let life slip past time in a kind of dream. Once conform ,once do what other people do finer than they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul, He becomes all outer show and inward emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent.

　　[參考譯文]

　　自我意識

　　--弗吉尼亞.吳爾夫

　　凡是意識到自我的人從今往後才是獨立的;他永遠不知疲倦，他明白生命苦短，所以完全沉浸於深深的而又適度的幸福之中。他獨立生活，而別人是繁文縟節的奴隸，在醉生夢死之中聽從生命悄然流逝。一旦循規蹈矩，一旦人為亦為，呆滯就籠罩著靈魂中一切靈敏的神經和官能。靈魂變得徒有其表，其中空空;遲鈍，木然、冷漠。

　　：閱讀好書Reading Good Books

　　Devote some of your leisure, I repeat, to cultivating a love of reading good books. Fortunate indeed are those who contrive to make themselves genuine book-lovers. For book- lovers have some noteworthy advantages over other people. They need never know lonely hours so long as they have books around them, and the better the books the more delightful the company. From good books, moreover, they draw much besides entertainment. They gain mental food such as few companions can supply. Even while resting from their labors they are, through the books they read, equipping themselves to perform those labors more efficiently. This albeit~ they may not be deliberately reading to improve their mind. All unconsciously the ideas they derive from the printed pages are stored up, to be worked over by the imagination for their future profit.

　　[參考譯文]

　　閱讀好書

　　我再說一遍，把你的一部分空閒時光用來培養閱讀好書的愛好吧。那些設法把自己培養成為真正愛好讀書的人，確實是幸運的。因為愛讀書的人比之別人有著明顯的好處。只要手頭有書，他們就從來不知寂寞。書越好，讀來越是津津有味。他們從好書中不但得到樂趣，而且受到很多教益。他們從中獲得的那種精神食糧，從其他地方是很難得到的。即使是在工作休息時，通過讀書，他們的工作效率也能更加提高，儘管他們未必有意識地想到讀書是為了提高才智。在全然不知不覺中，他們從書中吸取的知識積累起來，經過想想象力的加工，對將來大有用處。

　　：完美的人生The Wholeness of Life

　　Once a circle missed a wedge. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching.

　　Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.

　　There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doing so. There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive, she can lose someone and still feel like a complete person.

　　[參考譯文]

　　從前有個圓圈，它丟失了一小段。它想變得完整，於是它到處尋找它所丟失的那部分。由於不完整，它只能滾的非常慢。在路上，它羨慕過花兒，它與蟲子聊過天，它享受了陽光的照耀。它遇到過很多不同的小段，可是沒有一個適合它。所以它把它們丟在路邊，繼續尋找。

　　有一天，圓圈找到了可以與它完美結合的一小段，它非常高興。它現在終於完整了，不缺任何東西了。它把丟失的那段裝到自己身上，然後滾了起來。它現在是個完整的圓圈了，它可以滾的很快，，快到忽視了花兒，快到沒有時間和蟲子們說話。當它意識到由於它滾的太快，世界變得如此的不同時，它便停了下來，把找到的那段卸下丟在路邊，慢慢地滾走了。

　　人生的完整性，在於接受自己的缺陷，勇敢地丟棄不切實際的幻想，並且不覺得這樣做是失敗的;人生的完整性，在於知道自己足夠強大，可以承受人生的苦難，可以在失去一個人時仍然覺得自己是完整的。
