> imaginary happiness vanished in a moment.
> 一个村姑头上顶着一罐牛奶在路上行走。走着走着，她的脑子里浮现出一连串的幻想：“我卖了这罐牛奶后，用这笔钱买鸡蛋，这样我有的鸡蛋可以增加到300 个。用这300 个鸡蛋孵小鸡，这就算有坏的、生虫
> 的，
> 至少也能孵出250 只小鸡。等小鸡长大后，正好能赶上卖个好市价；那么到了新年，我就能有钱买一件新
> 晚装。买一件绿色的——让我好好想想——对，绿色与我的肤色最相衬。我穿上这件衣服去赶集，所有的年

> 第十篇 On the Feeling of Immortality in youth 有感于青春常在
> William Hazlitt/威廉.赫兹里特
> No young man believes he shall ever die.It was a saying of my brother's,and
> a fine one.
> There is a feeling of Eternity in youth,which makes us amend for
> everything.To be young is to be as one of the Immortal Gods.One half of time
> indeed is flown-the other half remains in
> store for us with all its countless treasures;for there is no line drawn,and
> we see no limit
> to our hopes and wishes.We make the coming age our own-
> 年轻人不相信自已会死。这是我哥哥的话，可算得一句妙语。青春有一种永生之感——它能弥补一切。
> 人在青年时代好像一尊永生的神明。诚然，生命的一半已以消逝，但蕴藏着不尽财富的另一半还有所保留，
> 我们对它也抱着无穷的希望和幻想。未来的时代完全属于我们——
> The vast,the unbounded prospect lies before us.
> 无限辽阔的远景在我们面前展现
> Death.old age.are words without a meaning.that pass by us like the idea air
> which we regard
> not.Others may have undergone,or may still be liable to them-we "bear a
> charmed life",which
> laughs to scorn all such sickly fancies.As in setting out on delightful
> journey,we strain our eager gaze forward-
> 死亡，老年，不过是空话，毫无意义；我们听了，只耳边风，全不放在心上。这些事，别人也许经历过， 或者可能要承受，但是我们自己，“在灵符护佑下度日”，对于诸如此类
> 脆弱的念头，统统付之轻蔑的一笑。像是刚刚走上愉快的旅程，极目远眺——
> Bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!
> 向远方的美景欢呼！
> -and see no end to the landscape,new objects presenting themselves as we
> advance;so,in the
> commencement of life,we set no bounds to our inclinations.nor to the
> unrestricted opportunities of grastifying them.we have as yet found no
> obstacle,no disposition to flag;and it seems that we can go on so forever.We
> look round in a new world,full of life,and motion,and ceaseless progress;and
> feel in ourselves all the vigour and spirit to keep pace with it,and do not
> foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural
> course of things,decline into old age,and drop into the grave.It is the
> simplicity,and as it were abstractedness of our feelings in youth,that(so to
> speak)identifies us with nature ,and(our experience being slight and our
> passions strong)deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it.Our
> short-lives connexion with existence we fondly flatter ourselves,is an
> indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither
> coldness,jar,nor separation.As infants smile and sleep,we are rocked in the
> cradle of our wayward fancies,and lulled into security by the roar of the
> universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without
> draining it,instead of which it only overflows the
> more-objects press around us,filling the mind with their magnitude and with
> the strong of desires that wait upon them,so that we have no room for the
> thoughts of death.
> 此时，但觉好风光应接不暇，而且，前程更有美不胜收的新鲜景致。在这生活的开端，我们听任自己的志趣驰骋，放手给它们一切满足的机会。到此为止，我们还没有碰上过什么障碍，也没有感觉到什么疲惫， 因此觉得还可以一直
> 这样向前走去，直到永远。我们看到四周一派新天地——生机盎然，变动不居，日新月异；我们觉得自己活力充盈，精神饱满，可与宇宙并驾齐驱。而且，眼前也无任何迹象可以证明，在大自然的发展过程中，我们自己也会落伍，衰老，进入坟墓。由于年轻人天真单纯，可以说是茫然无知，因而将自己跟大自然划上等号；并且，由于经验少而感情盛，误以为自己也能和大自然一样永世长存。我们一厢情愿，痴心妄想，竟把自己在世上的暂时栖身，当作千古不变、万事长存的结合，好像没有冷淡、争
> 执、离别的密月。像婴儿带着微笑入睡，我们躺在用自己编织成的摇篮里，让大千世界的万籁之声催哄我们安然入梦；我们急切切，兴冲冲地畅饮生命之杯，怎么也不会饮干，反而好像永远是满满欲溢；森罗万象纷至沓来，各种欲望随之而生，使我们腾不出工夫想死亡。第十一篇 A Forever Friend 永远的朋友

> 第十二篇： The Cobbler and the banker 皮匠和银行家
> La Fontaine/拉.封丹
> A cobbler passed his time in singing from morning till night;it was
> wonderful to see,wonderful to hear him;he was more contented in shoes,than
> was any of the seven sages.His neighbor,on the contrary,who was rolling in
> wealth,sung but little and slept less.He was a banker;when by chance he fell
> into a doze at day-break,the cobbler awoke him with his song.The banker
> complained sadly that Providence had not made sleep a saleable
> commodity,like edibles or drinkables.Having at length sent for the
> songster,he said to him,"How much a year do you earn,Master Gregory?"
> "How much a year,sir?"said the merry cobbler laughing,"I have reckon in that
> way,living as I do from one day to another;somehow I manage to reach the end
> of the year;each day brings its meal."
> "Well then!How much a day do you earn,my friend?"
> "Sometimes more,sometimes less;but the worst of it is,-and,without that our
> earnings would be very tolerable,-a number of days occur in the year on
> which we are forbidden to work;and the curate,moreover,is constantly adding
> some new saint to the list."
> The banker,laughing at his simplicity,said,"In the future I shall place you
> above want.Take this hundred crowns,preserve them carefully,and make use of
> them in time of need."
> The cobbler fancied he beheld all the wealth which the earth had produced in
> the past century for the use of mankind.Returning home,he buried his money
> and his happiness at the same time,No more singin;he lost his voice,the
> moment he acquired that which is the source of so much grief.Sleep quitted
> his dwelling;and cares,suspicions,and false alarms took its place,All
> day,his eye wandered in the direction of his treasure;and at night,if some
> stray cat made a noise,the cat was robbing him.At length the poor man ran to
> the house of his rich neighbor;"Give my back."
> said he,"sleep and my voice,and take your hundred crowns."
> 一个皮匠从早到晚在唱歌中度过。无论见到他本人或听见他的歌声都使人觉得很愉快。他对于制鞋工作比
> 当上了希腊七对还要满足。与此相反，他的邻居是个银行家，拥有万贯家财，却很少唱歌，晚上也睡得不好。他偶尔在黎明时分迷迷糊糊刚入睡，皮匠的歌声便于工作把他吵醒了。银行家郁郁寡欢地抱怨上帝没有睡眠也制成一种像食品或饮料那样可以买卖的商品。
> 后来，银行家就叫人把这位歌手请来，问道：“格列戈里师傅，你一年赚多少钱？”
> “先生，你问我一年赚多少钱吗？”快乐的皮匠笑道：“我从来不算这笔帐，我是一天一天地过日子，总而言之坚持到年底，每天挣足三餐。”
> “啊，朋友，那么你一天赚多少钱呢？”
> “有时多一点，有时少一点；不过最糟糕的是一年中总有些日子不准我们做买卖，牧师又常常在圣徒名单上添新名字，否则我们的收入也还算不错的。”
> 银行家被皮匠的直率逗笑了，他说：“我要你从今以后不愁没钱用。这一百枚钱你拿去，小心放好，需要时拿来用吧。”
> 皮匠觉自己好像看到了过去几百年来大地为人类所需而制造出来的全部财富。他回到家中，埋藏好硬币，
> 同时也埋葬了他的快乐。他不再唱歌了；从他得到这种痛苦的根源那一刻起，他的嗓子就哑了。睡眠与他分手；取而代之的却是担心、怀疑、虚惊。白天，他的目光尽朝埋藏硬币的方向望；夜间，如果有只迷途的猫弄出一点声响，他就以为是有人来抢他的钱。最后，这个可怜的皮匠跑到他那富有的邻居家里说：“把你的一百枚钱拿回去，还我的睡眠和歌声来。”
> 第十三篇 A Greek to Remember 一位值得纪念的希腊人

> 一天，征服了半个文明世界的亚历山大大帝看见提奥奇尼斯坐在大坛里晒太阳。于是这位君主在大臣们的

> 我又回到了童年，我做事要更有毅力，决不因为事情艰难或者麻烦而撒手不干，我们要光明，就得征服黑暗。

> 如果及早养成这种专心致志的习惯，它将成为我们生命的一部分。我常听成年人说：“虽然我希望能集中注意听牧师讲道或读书，但往往做不到。”而原因就是年轻时没有养成这种习惯。
> 假如我现在能重新猹始我的生命，我就要更注意记忆力的培养。我要采取一切可能的办法，并且在一切可能的场合，增强记忆力。要正确无误地记住一些东西，在开始阶段的确要作出一番小小的努力；但要不了多久，记忆力本身就会起作用，使记忆成为轻而易举的事，只需及早培养，记忆自会成为一种才能。
