以下是小編搜集的英語(yǔ)文章閱讀6字名言�？靵�(lái)看看吧。

　　To be or not to be". Outside the Bible, these six words are the most famous in all the literature of the world. They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but also for every thinking man and woman. To be or not to be, to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly and eagerly, or to live dully and meanly and scarcely. A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally. He answeredit by saying:¨Ithink, therefore Iam.”

　　“活著還是不活。”如果把《圣經(jīng)》除外，這6個(gè)字便是整個(gè)世界文學(xué)中最有名的6個(gè)字了.這6個(gè)字是哈姆雷特一次喃喃自語(yǔ)時(shí)說(shuō)的，而這6個(gè)字也就成了莎士比亞作品中最有名的幾個(gè)字了，因?yàn)檫@里哈姆雷特不僅道出了他自己的心聲，同時(shí)也代表了一切有思想的男男女女�；钪�還是不活——是要生活還是不要生活，是要生活得豐滿充實(shí)、興致勃勃，還是活得枯燥委瑣、貧乏無(wú)味。 一位哲人一次曾想弄清他自己是否是在活著，這個(gè)問(wèn)題我們每個(gè)人也大可不時(shí)地問(wèn)問(wèn)我們自己。這位哲學(xué)家對(duì)此的答案是：“我思故我在。”

　　But the best definition of existence I ever saw was one written by another philosopher who said: "To be is to be in relations." If this is true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive. To live abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity of our relations. Unfortunately we are so constituted that we get to love our routine. But apart from our regular occupation how much are we alive? If you are interested only in your regular occupation, you are alive only to that extent. So far as other things are concemed-poetry and prose, music, pictures, sports, unselfish friendships, politics, intemational affairs-you are dead. Contrariwise, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest-even more, a new accomplishment-you increase your power of life. No one who is deeply interested in a large variety of subjects can remain unhappy, the real pessimist is the person who has lost interest. Baam said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend. But we gain new life by contacts, new friends. What is supremely true ofliving objects is not less true of ideas, which are also alive. Where your thoughts are, there will your live be also. Ifyour thoughts are confined to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to the narrow circle of the town in which'you live, then you live in a narrow circumscribed life. But if you are interested what is going on in China, then you are living in China if you'te interested in the characters of a good novel, then you are living with those highly interesting people, if you listen intently to fine music, you are away from your immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion and imagination.

　　但是關(guān)于生存我所見過(guò)的一條最好的定義卻是另一位哲學(xué)家下的'：“生活即是聯(lián)系。”如果這話不假的話，那么一個(gè)有生命者的聯(lián)系越多，它也就越有生氣。所謂要活得豐富充實(shí)也即是要擴(kuò)大和加強(qiáng)我們的各種聯(lián)系。不幸的是，我們往往會(huì)因?yàn)樘煨圆粔蜇S厚而容易陷入自己的陳規(guī)舊套。試問(wèn)除去我們的日常工作，我們的真正生活又有多少?如果你只是對(duì)你的日常工作才有興趣，那你的生活也就很有限了。至于在其他事物方面—一比如詩(shī)歌、散文、音樂(lè)、美術(shù)、體育、無(wú)私的友誼、政治與國(guó)際事務(wù)，等等——你只是死人一個(gè)。 但反過(guò)來(lái)說(shuō)，每當(dāng)你獲得一種新的興趣_—.甚至一項(xiàng)新的造詣——你就增長(zhǎng)了你的生活動(dòng)力。一個(gè)能對(duì)許許多多事物都深感興趣的人是不可能總不愉快的，真正的悲觀者只能是那些喪失興趣的人。墻根曾講過(guò)，一個(gè)人失去朋友即是死亡。但是憑著交往、憑著新朋，我們就能獲得再生。這條對(duì)于活人可謂千真萬(wàn)確的道理，在一定程度上也完全適用于人的思想，它們也都是活的。你的思想之所在，也是你的生命之所在。如果你的思想走不出你的業(yè)務(wù)范圍，走不出你的物質(zhì)利益，走不出你所在城鎮(zhèn)的狹隘圈子，那么你的一生便也只是多方受著局限的狹隘的一生。但是如果你對(duì)當(dāng)前中國(guó)那里所發(fā)生的種種感興趣，那么你便可說(shuō)也活在中國(guó)，如果你對(duì)一本絕妙小說(shuō)中的人物感興趣，你便是活在一批極有趣的人們中間;如果你能全神貫注地聽點(diǎn)好的音樂(lè)，你就會(huì)超脫出你的周圍環(huán)境而活在一個(gè)充滿激情與想象的神奇世界之中。

　　To be or not to be to live intensely and richly, merely to exist, that depends on ourselves. Let us widen and intensify our relations. While we live, let us live !

　　活著還是不活——活得熱烈、活得豐富，還是只是簡(jiǎn)單存在，這就全在我們自己。但愿我們都能不斷闊展和增強(qiáng)我們的各種聯(lián)系。只要一天我們活著，就要一天是在活著。
