1、优美的双语散文十六篇优美的双语散文十六篇1、What I Have Lived ForBertrand RussellThree passions,simple but overwhelmingly strong,have governed mylife: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a
2、wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the verge of despair.I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness - that terrible
3、 loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I
4、 sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what - at last - I have found. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men, I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number
5、holds away above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberated in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors,
6、helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and I would gladly live it again if th
7、e chance were offered to me.我为何而活伯兰特.罗素三种简单却极其强烈的情感主宰着我的生活：对爱的渴望、对知识的追求、对人类痛 苦的难以承受的怜悯之心。这三种情感，像一阵阵飓风一样，任意地将我吹的飘来荡去， 越过痛苦的海洋，抵达绝望的彼岸。我寻找爱，首先，因为它令人心醉神迷，这种沉醉是如此美妙，以至于我愿意用余生 来换取那几个小时的快乐。我寻找爱，其次是因为它会减轻孤独，置身于那种可怕的孤独 中，颤抖的灵魂在世界的边缘，看到冰冷的、死寂的、无底深渊。我寻找爱，还因为在爱 水乳交融时，在一个神秘的缩影中，我见到了先贤和诗人们所想象的、预览的天堂。这就是我所追求的，尽管对
8、于凡人来说，这好像是一种奢望。但这是我最终找到的。我曾以同样的热情来追求知识。我希望能理解人类的心灵，希望能知道为什么星星会 发光。我也曾经努力理解毕达哥拉斯学派的理论，他们认为数字主载着万物的此消彼长。 我了解了一点知识，但是不多。爱和知识，可以最大可能地，将人带入天堂。可是，怜悯总是将我带回地面。人们因 痛苦而发出的哭声在我心中久久回响，那些饥荒中的孩子们，被压迫者摧残的受害者们， 被子女视为可憎负担的、无助的老人们，以及那无处不在的孤单、贫穷和无助都在讽刺着 人类所本应该有的生活。我渴望能够消除人世间的邪恶，可是力不从心，我自己也同样遭 受着它们的折磨。这就是我的生活。我觉得活一场是值得
9、的。如果给我机会的话，我愿意开心地，再活 一次。伯兰特.罗素（1872-1970）,英国著名哲学家、数学家和文学家。他在多个领域都取得 了巨大成就。他所著的西方的智慧 、 西方哲学史对中国读者影响很大。 2、Man Is Here For The Sake of Other MenAlbert EinsteinStrange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose.From th
10、e standpoint of daily life, however,there is one thing we do know that man is here for the sake of other men - above all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a
11、day I realize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of my fellow men, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received. My peace of mind is often troubled by the depressing sense that I have borrowed too heavily
12、 from the work of other men.To ponder interminably over the reason for ones own existence or the meaning of life in general seems to me, from an objective point of view, to be sheer folly. And yet everyone holds certain ideals by which he guides his aspiration and his judgment. The ideals which have
13、 always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth. To make a goal of comfort and happiness has never appealed to me; a system of ethics built on this basis would be sufficient only for a herd of cattle.人是为了别人而活着阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦我们在这个世界上的处境是奇怪的：每个人，都是来做一次短暂的访问，不知道是为
14、 了什么。不过有时似乎也会觉察到有某种目的。但是从平日的生活来看，有一件事情我们是很清楚的：我们是为别人而活，最重要的 是为了这些人活：他们的笑容和幸福构成了我们快乐的源泉。同时，我们活着还为了另外 无数个不相识的生命，怜悯之心，将我们同他们的命运联系起来。每天，很多次，我都会 意识到我的肉体生活和精神生活很大程度上是建立在那些活着的，和死去的人们的工作之 上的，意识到我必须诚挚地、竭尽全力地努力去回报我所得到的东西。我经常心绪不宁， 感觉自己从别人的工作里承袭了太多，这种感觉让我惴惴不安。总体上在我看来，从客观的角度，没完没了地思考自己为什么会存在，或者是生命有 什么意义，是非常愚蠢的行为。
15、不过，每个人都有一些理想，来指引着自己的抱负和辨别 是非。始终在我面前闪耀着光芒，并且让我充满活着的喜悦的理想，是善、美和真理。对 我来说，以舒适和享乐为目标的生活从来没有吸引力。 以这些目标为基础建立起来的一 套伦理观点只能满足一群牲畜的需要。阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦（1879-1955）,美国籍犹太人，20 世纪最伟大的科学家。1921 年获 诺贝尔物理学奖。他一生崇尚科学与民主，追求真理和光明，毕生致力于国际和平事业。3、Work and PleasureWinston ChurchillTo be really happy and really safe, one ought to have
16、 at least two or three hobbies, and they must all be real. It is no use starting late in life to say:“I will take an interest in this or that.”Such an attempt only aggravates the strain of mental effort. A man may acquire great knowledge of topics unconnected with his daily work, and yet hardly get any benefit or relief. It is no use doing what you like; you have got to like what you do. Broadly speaking, human beings may be divided into three clas
