家园 姑爷的记述让我非常感动

姑爷当时值血气刚勇之年,却为大学之志,面对宵小之辈的挑衅而隐忍不发.值得一赞.

东坡的留侯论,其中一段极适姑爷——

古之所谓豪杰之士,必有过人之节。人情有所不能忍者。匹夫见辱,拔剑而起,挺身而斗,此不足为勇也。天下有大勇者,卒然临之而不惊,无故加之而不怒,此其所挟持者甚大,而其志甚远也。

另外,最后那里,不是莎翁,而是英国的另外一位,狄更斯,出自他的《双城记》开篇。

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,

it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,

it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,

it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness,

it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,

we had everything before us, we had nothing before us,

we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way

--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

中文的通俗翻译我不太满意,我做了翻译,有了些许改动,与姑爷分享~也与大家分享~

那是最好的时代,那是最坏的时代;

那是睿智的年头,那是愚昧的年头;

那是信仰的纪元,那是疑迷的纪元;

那是光明之季,那是晦暗之季;

那是希冀之春,那是望绝之冬;

人们面前无所不有,人们面前一无所有;

人们正在直往天堂,人们正在径入歧途。

--简言之,时同现在非常相像,某些最喧嚣的权威坚持其本质要用形容词的最高级来描述,无论好赖。
