Six,Two Truths to Live By,1.Text,2.Exercises,3.Supplementary Reading,2/158,Two Truths to Live By,Hold fast,and let go:,understand this paradox,*,and you stand,at the very gate of wisdom,Alexander M.Schindler,paradox n.statement that seems to say sth.opposite to common sense or the truth,but which may contain a truth,似非而是可能隽语，反论,Menu,Translation,3/158,enjoin v.give an order

habit,belief,plan,etc.);let go(ones hold of sth.),放弃,(,希望，习惯，信仰，计划等,),；松手放开,Menu,1 The,art,of living is to know when to hold,fast,and when,to let go,.For life is a,paradox,:it,enjoins,*,us,to cling to,*,its many gifts even while it,ordains,*,their eventual,relinquishment,*,.,4/158,The rabbis,*,of old put it this way:A man comes to this world with his fist,clenched,*,but when he dies,his hand is open.,rabbi n.teacher of the Jewish law,犹太法学教授，犹太学者,clench v.press firmly together,紧握，捏紧,Menu,Translation,5/158,2 Surely we ought to hold fast to life,for it is wondrous,*,and full of a beauty that,breaks through,*,every,pore,*,of Gods own earth.We know that this is so,but all too often we recognize this truth only in our backward glance when we remember what it was and then suddenly realize that it is no more.,wondrous adj.(=wonderful),break through make a way through,突破，透过,pore,n.tiny opening(esp.in the skin of an animal body)through which fluids(e.g.sweat)may pass,小孔，,(,尤指动物身体上,),毛孔,Menu,Translation,6/158,3 We remember a beauty that,faded,a love that,waned,*,.But we remember with far greater pain that we did not see that beauty when it flowered,that we failed to respond with love when it was tendered.,wane v.become less or weaker,降低，减弱，衰弱,Translation,Menu,7/158,4 A recent experience re-taught me this truth.I was,hospitalized,*,following a severe heart attack and had been in intensive care for several days.It was not a pleasant place.,5 One morning,I had to have some additional tests.The required machines were located in a building at the opposite end of the hospital,so I had to be wheeled across the courtyard on a gurney,*,.,hospitalize v.send to,admit into hospital,送入医院；允许住院,gurney n.a wheeled cot or stretcher,有轮子小床或躺椅,Menu,Translation,8/158,6 As we emerged from our unit,the sunlight hit me.Thats all there was to my experience.Just the light of the sun.And yet how beautiful it was-how warming,how,sparkling,*,how brilliant!,7 I looked to see whether anyone else relished,*,the suns golden glow,but everyone was hurrying to and fro,most with eyes fixed on the ground.,sparkling,adj.,sparkle,v.send out flashes of light,闪闪发光；闪耀，闪烁,relish v.enjoy;get pleasure out of,享受；兴趣；喜好,Menu,9/158,Then I remembered how often I,too,had been indifferent to,*,the,grandeur,*,of each day,too,preoccupied,*,with petty,*,and sometimes even mean,concerns,to respond to the splendor,*,of it all.,be indifferent to(sth.)having no interest in;neither for nor

in a(harvest)field by the workers;(fig)gather(news,facts)in small quantities,拾,(,遗穗,),；,(,喻,),一点点地搜集,(,消息，事实,),monplace adj.,n.ordinary or usual,日常；平庸；日常话；平凡事,4.,heedless adj.not attending to,不注意，掉以轻心,be heedless of pay no attention to,不留心，不注意；不顾,Translation,Menu,11/158,9 Here then is the first pole of lifes paradoxical demands on us:,Never too busy for the wonder and the,awe,*,of

of wonder and awe),尊敬，虔诚，谦恭,Menu,Translation,12/158,10 Hold fast to life.but not so fast that you cannot let go.This is the second side of lifes coin,the opposite pole of its paradox:we must accept our losses,and learn how to let go.,Translation,Menu,13/158,11 This is not an easy lesson to learn,especially when we are young and think that the world is ours to command,that whatever we desire with the full force of our,passionate,*,being,can,nay,will,be ours.But then life moves along to confront,*,us with realities,and slowly but surely this second truth,dawns upon,*,us.,passionate,adj.easily moved by passion;filled with,showing passion,易动情；热情,confront,v.,confront.with.,become or bring face to face with,面对；面临,dawn on/upon(sb.)begin to appear;grow clear(to the

n.death(,法律,),死亡,Menu,Translation,16/158,13 But why should we be reconciled,*,to lifes contradictory,*,demands?Why,fashion,things of beauty when beauty is evanescent,*,?Why give our heart in love when those we love will ultimately be torn from our grasp?,reconcile,v.be reconciled to:overcome ones objections to;resign oneslf

paradox,we must seek a wider perspective,viewing our lives as through windows that open on eternity,*,.Once we do that,we realize that though our lives are,finite,our deeds on earth,weave,a timeless
