　　The Props to Help Man Endure

　　I feel that this award was not made to me as a man,but to my work -- a life's work in the agony andsweat of the human spirit, not for glory and least ofall for profit, but to create out of the materials of thehuman spirit something which did not exist before.So this award is only mine in trust. It will not be difficult to find a dedication for the moneypart of it commensurate with the purpose and significance of its origin. But I would like to dothe same with the acclaim too, by using this moment as a pinnacle from which I might belistened to by the young men and women already dedicated to the same anguish and travail,among whom is already that one who will some day stand here where I am standing.

　　Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that wecan even bear it. There are no longer problems of the spirit. There is only the question: Whenwill I be blown up? Because of this, the young man or woman writing today has forgotten theproblems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing becauseonly that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat.

　　He must learn them again. He must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid;and, teaching himself that, forget it forever, leaving no room in his workshop for anything butthe old verities and truths of the heart, the old universal truths lacking which any story isephemeral and doomed -- love and honor and pity and pride and compassion andsacrifice.

　　作者简介：

　　威廉福克纳(1897—1962)，美国作家，先后创作了十几篇长篇小说和几十篇短篇小说，描述了以美国南方200年来南北战争为中心事件的社会变迁，各种家族的兴衰，各种人物的沉浮。他的小说常描写美国的黑暗面，1949年获得诺贝尔文学奖。本篇是他在接受该奖时所发表的演讲。这是一篇脍炙人口的演讲词。然而，由于福克纳本人对语言运用的独特性和精深性，所以对初学者来说，这篇美文也许颇有些难度。

　　参考翻译：

　　我认为这个奖项不是授给我个人而是授给我的工作---------一项艰辛而痛苦的毕生投入的人类精神的工作,既不为名也不土利,而是要从人类的精神原材料中创造一些前所未有的东西。因此这个奖项我只是代为保管。要该奖项的款项按照最初的目的和意义并不难。但我更欢迎这样做，利用这一时机，把它作为一个顶点，向听我话的有志于此的年轻人发出号召，他们中必定有人会站在我今天的位置。

　　我们的悲剧在于长期与来我们一直承受着肉体上的.恐惧，不再有任何精神方面的问题。有的只是一个问题，我什么时候会被炸的粉身碎骨?因此，如今年轻人的作品已经忘记了处于矛盾冲突中的人类心灵问题，而这本身就能够创造出好作品，因为这值得去写，值得为此辛劳。

　　人们一定要了解这些，一定要叫自己认识到最可鄙莫过于害怕，一定告戒自己永远不要忘记，工作中除了心灵的正直诚实不要给任何东西留有空间，过去的那些正直诚实的普遍品质包括爱情、荣誉、怜悯、尊严、同情和牺牲，缺乏了它们任何作品都是短暂的和注定要失败的。

　　Relationship That Lasts

　　If somebody tells you, " I'll love you for ever," will you believe it?

　　I don't think there's any reason not to. we are ready to believe such commitment at themoment, whatever change may happen afterwards. As for the belief in an everlasting love,that's another thing.

　　Then you may be asked whether there is such a thing as an everlasting love. I'd answer i believein it. But an everlasting love is not immutable.

　　You may unswervingly love or be loved by a person. But love will change its composition withthe passage of time. It will not remain the same. In the course of your growth and as a result ofyour increased experience, love will become something different to you.

　　In the beginning you believed a fervent love for a person could last indefinitely. By and by,however," fervent" gave way to " prosaic" . Precisely because of this change it became possiblefor love to last. Then what was meant by an everlasting love would eventually end up in a sortof interdependence.

　　We used to insist on the difference between love and liking. The former seemed much morebeautiful than the latter. one day, however, it turns out there's really no need to make suchdifference. Liking is actually a sort of love. By the same token, the everlastinginterdependence is actually an everlasting love.

　　I wish i could believe there was somebody who would love me forever. That's, as we all know,too romantic to be true. Instead, it will more often than not be a case of lasting relationship.

　　参考翻译

　　假如有人对你说，我永远爱你，你是否会相信呢?

　　我想不到有什么理由不相信。无论将来变成怎样，那一刻，我们会愿意相信这个承诺。是否相信有永远的爱，那又是另一回事。

　　你也许永远爱一个人，或永远被一个人所爱。但是，爱的成分会在年月中改变。爱不是只有一样。当你成长，当你经历愈来愈多的事情，你对爱的体会也会不一样了。

　　从前所相信的永远，是永远炽热地爱一个人。后来的永远，也许是从炽热走到平淡。因为平淡，才可以更长久。然后，所谓永远，有一天又会变成互相依存。

　　我们曾经坚持把爱和喜欢分开。爱是比喜欢美丽许多的。终有一天，我们开始相信，不必把喜欢和爱分开。喜欢也是一种爱。正如，永远的依存，也是永远的爱。

　　我希望我能够相信一个人永远地爱我。可是，我们都知道，那只是过于浪漫的想法。永远的关系，反而更有可能.
