4 He was a 21-year-old in blue jeans and Nikes, eager to laugh and eager to please, but fierce in his attention to his duties. Every salt and pepper shaker was exactly in its place, not a bread crumb or coffee spill was visible when Stevie got done with the table.
4 史蒂维21岁,蓝⾊⽜仔裤,耐克运动鞋,满⾯笑容,讨⼈喜爱,极端地敬业。他收拾好⼀张餐桌后,盐瓶和胡椒瓶归于原位,丝毫不差,桌⾯不见⼀点⾯包屑、⼀滴咖啡液。
6 Over time, we learned that he lived with his mother, a widow who was disabled after repeated surgeries for cancer. They lived on their Social Security benefits in public housing two miles from the truck-stop. Their social worker, who stopped to check on him every so often, admitted they had fallen between the cracks. Money was tight, and what I paid him was probably the difference between them being able to live together and Stevie being sent to a group home.
6 后来,我们得知史蒂维和母亲⼀起⽣活。他母亲是个寡妇,因患癌症多次经历⼿术⽽落下残疾。母⼦俩靠社会保险⾦⽣活,住在离餐馆两英⾥以外的廉租房⾥。社⼯⼈员偶尔登门看望,说他们母⼦⽣活着实艰
⾟贫困。他们⼿头拮据,我所付的⼯资仅能保证母⼦俩相依为命,史蒂维才不⾄于沦落到被“集体之家”(为残障⼈⼠提供护理的机构)收容。
2 At some stage or the other in our lives, we experience the gnawing pangs of an emotion which defies definition. It's a feeling that can only be felt and not described. An overwhelming joy that comes together with its share of sadness. Love.
2 在我们⽣命中的某个阶段,我们会经历某种难以名状的情感所带来的阵阵折磨。这种
情感只能体会,⽆法⽤语⾔描述。莫⼤的喜悦伴随着丝丝的伤感⼀同降临,这就是爱。
7 Love was a magnificent building I built on the foundation of friendship. It took time to blossom. It took a lot of understanding, loads of sharing and caring, and plenty of affection to become what it is today. And it meant a meeting of minds. You might say that I belong to the traditional school of romance. But in my opinion, love needs to be nurtured. And it has to be distinguished from the intense but short-lived love or the pleasures of the flesh.
7 我的爱情是在友谊这块地基上建起的⾼楼⼤厦。爱情经过旷⽇持久的培养才开花。我和我的恋⼈相互理解、同⽢共苦、相互关⼼,投⼊了丰富的感情,才使爱情发展到今天。爱情意味着情投意合。你也许
会说,我属于浪漫的传统派。但是,依我看,爱情需要培养。我们必须把爱情同强烈⽽短暂的激情或⾝体的愉悦区别开来。
6 Another classical view of friendship can be found in the writings of Cicero, an ancient Roman statesman and orator. His writings on ethics, the philosophy of religion and natural law have been infuential. According to Cicero true friendship is only possible between good men. He further defines "the good" as "those whose actions and lives leave no question as to their honor, purity, equity, and liberality; who are free from greed, lust, and violence; and who have the courage of their convictions." The friendship between good men, based on virtue, does offer material benefits, but it does not seek them. Moreover, just as in friendships and relationships, those who possess any superiority must regard themselves as equals of those who are less fortunate, so these latter must not be annoyed at being surpassed in genius, fortune, or rank.
6 另⼀种传统的友谊观可以在古罗马政治家、演说家西塞罗的著作⾥到。西塞罗论述伦理、宗教哲学和⾃然规律的作品影响⼴泛。西塞罗认为,真正的友谊只能在好⼈之间发⽣。他进⽽将“好⼈”定义为“那些⾏为和⽣活⽆损于⾃⼰的荣誉、纯洁、公平和开明的⼈;那些摆脱了贪婪、欲念和暴⼒的⼈;那些敢于依照⾃⼰的信念说话和做事的⼈。”好⼈之间建⽴的这种友谊⽴⾜于美德,它确实可以带来物质利益,但决不以追求物质利益为⽬标。⽽且在处理朋友关系和其它⼈际关系时,优越于他⼈的⼈必须平等地对
待那些没那么幸运的⼈;同样,后者也不能因为对⽅的天赋、财富、地位在⾃⼰之上⽽恼怒。
18 "I don't mean money, Mitch. I mean your time. Your concern. Your storytelling. It's not so hard. There's a senior center that opened near here. Dozens of elderly people come there every day. If you're a young man or young woman and you have a skill, you are asked to come and teach it. Say you know computers. You come there and teach them computers. You are very welcome there. And they are very grateful. This is how you start to get respect, by offering something that you have.

20 "Remember what I said about finding a meaningful life? I wrote it down, but now I can recite it: Devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.
20 “还记得我曾说过的关于寻⼈⽣意义的那⼏句话吗?我写下来了,⽽且现在能背诵:奉献⾃⼰,关爱他⼈;奉献⾃⼰,为
社区作贡献;奉献⾃⼰,营造有⽬的、有意义的⼈⽣。
5 "But having finished the day's work, what do you do with those other eight hours — the other third of your life? Let's say you go home to your family. What sort of family are you raising? Will the children ever be exposed to a reasonably penetrating idea at home? We all think of ourselves as citizens of a great democracy. Democracies can exist, however, only as long as they remain intellectually alive. Will you be presiding over a family that maintains some basic contact with the great continuity of democratic intellect? Will there be a book in the house? Will there be a painting a reasonably sensitive man can look at without shuddering? Will your family be able to speak English and to talk about an idea? Will the kids ever get to hear Bach?"
5 “然⽽在完成每天的⼯作之后,你如何打发另外8个⼩时,也就是你⽣命中的另外三分之⼀的光阴?⽐如,你回到家⾥,和家⼈待在⼀起。你养育什么样的⼦⼥?孩⼦们在家⾥能接触⽐较深邃的思想吗?我们都认为⾃⼰是⼀个伟⼤的民主国家的公民,然⽽,民主国家只有在思想领域⾥充满活⼒⽅能存在。你作为⼀家之主,能使这个家庭受到绵延不绝的民主思想⼀些起码的影响吗?家⾥会有⼀本书吗?会挂⼀幅让审美能⼒尚好的⼈看了不⾄于战栗的画吗?你的家⼈能表达⾃我、能交流思想吗?孩⼦们能有机会听到巴赫吗?”
