卷七08

7.29 In everything which happens keep before thy eyes those to whom the same things happened, and how they were vexed, and treated them as strange things, and found fault with them: and now where are they? Nowhere. Why then dost thou too choose to act in the same way? And why dost thou not leave these agitations which are foreign to nature, to those who cause them and those who are moved by them? And why art thou not altogether intent upon the right way of making use of the things which happen to thee? For then thou wilt use them well, and they will be a material for thee to work on. Only attend to thyself, and resolve to be a good man in every act which thou doest: and remember...

7.30 Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.

7.31 The body ought to be compact, and to show no irregularity either in motion or attitude. For what the mind shows in the face by maintaining in it the expression of intelligence and propriety, that ought to be required also in the whole body. But all of these things should be observed without affectation.

7.32 Every soul, the philosopher says, is involuntarily deprived of truth; consequently in the same way it is deprived of justice and temperance and benevolence and everything of the kind. It is most necessary to bear this constantly in mind, for thus thou wilt be more gentle towards all.

 Notes：
deprive [v] ~somebody/something of something
to prevent somebody from having or doing something, especially something important

7.29 面对发生的一切事情，回忆一下这样一些人，同样的事也曾对他们发生，他们曾是多么烦恼啊，把这些事情看做奇怪的、不满于它们，而现在他们到哪里去了呢？无处可寻。那么你为什么愿意以同样的方式行动呢？你为什么不把这些与本性相歧异的焦虑留那些引起它们并被它们推动的人呢？你为什么不完全专注于利用对你发生的事物的正确方式呢？因为那样你将好好地利用它们，它们将给你的工作提供质料。仅仅倾听自身，在你做的一切行为中都决心做一个好人，记住……

7.30 观照内心。善的源泉是在内心，如果你挖掘，它将汩汩地涌出。

7.31 身体应当是简洁的，无论在活动中还是姿态上都不表现出杂乱无章。因为心灵通过脸容表现的理智和合宜，也应当体现在整个身体之中。但所有这些事情都应当毫不矫揉造作地去做。

7.32 哲学家说，每一灵魂都不由自主地偏离真理，因而也同样不由自主地偏离正义、节制、仁爱和诸如此类的品质。总是把这牢记在心是很有必要的，因为这样你就将对所有人更和蔼。
