背诵课文翻译
Chapter121.同情心,加上与之相关的社会努力是我们这个时代最麻烦、最令人不快的行为和行动方针。也许只剩下一个问题,就是应该与文明生活相符。而且最终,这无疑是最保守的路线。这并不是自相矛盾。对文明的不满和所带来的结果并不来自那些满足的人——这点很明显。为了能达到我们尽可能广泛地满足的程度,我们将保持并扩大社会和政治的平静,因为毕竟那些保守分子如此呼吁。Chapter520.我们曾经提到过,最古老的问题是“一”与“多”关系的问题。我们可以确定无疑地说,我们这个时代的根本矛盾恰恰是那些想要把世界简化为“一”的人与那些认为世界是“多”的人之间的冲突——那些相信世界会朝着一个方向进化、经过单一预先设定好的路线、奔着单一预设的结局的人与那些相信人类的未来就像过去一样,根据多样化的传统、价值、目标继续朝着多个方向、奔向多种结局的人之间的冲突。简而言之,它是在教条主义和实用主义、理论社会和试验社会之间的选择。
Chapter724.在世界的悠久历史中,只有很少几个世代的人赋有这种在自由遭遇最大危机时保卫自由的任务。我决不在这责任之前退缩,我欢迎它。我不相信我们中间会有人愿意跟别人及别的世代交换地位。我们在这场努力中所献出的精力、信念与虔诚将照亮我们的国家以及所有为国家服务的人,而从这一火焰所聚出的光辉必能照明全世界。
27.最后,不管你是美国的公民或世界他国的公民,请将我们所要求于你们的有关力量与牺牲的高标准拿来要求我们。我们惟一可靠的报酬是问心无愧,我们行为的最后裁判者是历史,让我们向前引导我们所挚爱的国土,企求上帝的保佑与扶携,但我们知道,在上帝的任务肯定就是我们自己所应肩负的任
