Belief
is
a
happier
state
of
mind
than
doubt
and
suspicion.
相信乃是一种比怀疑与猜忌更快乐的心态。
By
this
I
live,
for
if
I
don't
have
faith
in
others,
who
will
believe
in
me?
我就是本着这个信念做人处世,因为我若不信任他人,谁又会信任我呢?
I
would
rather
believe
in
a
thousand
people,
friends
and
strangers,
and
have
999
fail
me
than
not
believe.
我宁可信任千个人,不管是朋友或陌生人,而且我宁可有999个人辜负我,我也不愿对人不信任。
If
many
fail
me,
I
remember
how
many
I
failed.
如果众人辜负我,我会记得自己曾辜负了多少人。
This
is
not
to
say
that
the
blind
belief
of
sentimentality,
the
so—
called"
tolerance"
of
the
dishonest
and
vicious,
is
sensible
or
rewarding.
这并非是说,对于滥情的盲目相信,即所谓对不诚实和邪恶的容忍是明智或值得的。
There
are
some
dark
corners
which
do
not
react
to
sweetness
and
light.
总有一些黑暗的角落,在这里任凭你怎么和蔼讲理都是不起作用的。
Belief in people should be accomplished with open eyes and clarity of judgment.
相信别人应该要睁亮双眼并有明确的判断力。
But
when
your
judgment
proves
bad
rather
than
good,
it's
no
reason
to
walk
thereafter
with
suspicion
as
a
companion.
但你的判断若证明是错的而非是对的,那也没有理由就此便一直心存怀疑。
None
knows
another's
heart,
his
grief,
his
struggle,
his
despair
and
motivation.
别人有什么样的心地、所悲为何、为什么奋斗、为何绝望、有什么动机,这些都是我们无法了解的。
Not
all
our
geese
become
swans,
but
one
swan
atones
for
many
flocks
of
geese.
我们周围的芸芸众生并非个个都会成大器,但这些芸芸众生中只要有一个成大器就够了。
All
men
share
pain
and
mortality;
some
bear
these
better
than
others.
所有的人都会遭遇痛苦与死亡,只不过有些人更善于承受罢了。
And
multitudes
have
perished
spiritually
for
the
lack
of
another's
belief
in
them.
而许多人因为无法获得别人的信任而在精神上形同死亡。
So,
I
would
rather
be
disappointed
than
afraid
of
disappointment.
因此,我宁可因他人负我而失望也不愿害怕失望而不信任别人。
