18、 more gumption than a bump on a log.”She has hounded me with these battle cries since I was a boy in short pants.“Make something of yourself! ”“ Don' t be a quitter!”“Have a little ambition, Buddy.”參考譯文 我母親早已不在人世，但她仍時(shí)時(shí)自由地浮現(xiàn)在我心中，有時(shí)早晨天還未亮就把我喚醒. “我最最不能容忍的就是半途而廢的人。 ” 我一生不斷聽到她說這句話。此時(shí)此刻， 我躺在床上，在黑暗中慢慢醒

19、來，想重回夢(mèng)鄉(xiāng) 而不愿直面嶄新的一天，我感覺到了她正怒氣沖沖地與我體內(nèi)那個(gè)沒出息的懶漢奮力斗爭(zhēng)。 ” 我默默地抗議道：我已經(jīng)不是孩子了。我已經(jīng)小有成就，我有資格睡懶覺?！傲_素，你一點(diǎn)進(jìn)取心也沒有，和二流子簡(jiǎn)直沒什么兩樣。 ” 從我還是個(gè)穿著短褲的孩提時(shí)代起她就一直用這些話激勵(lì)我前進(jìn)： “你要混出個(gè)人樣來 ! ”“不要半途而廢 ! ” “要有點(diǎn)志氣，孩子。IV. Chinese Translation of Paragraphs1. 與本文的標(biāo)題相反，本文真正要談的是如何才能不老，在我這個(gè)年紀(jì)，這才是更為重要 的主題。我的第一條忠告是，選準(zhǔn)了祖先再投胎。 盡管我雙親都是英年早逝，我選擇的其他 祖

20、先還是不錯(cuò)的。誠(chéng)然，我的外祖父在 67 歲正值盛年的時(shí)候去世，但另外 3 位祖輩都活到 了 80 多歲。更前的祖輩中，我發(fā)現(xiàn)只有一位沒能長(zhǎng)壽，他死于現(xiàn)今罕見的死因，即遭斬首。 我有位曾祖母是吉本的朋友，在92 歲去世之前始終令子孫們敬畏不已。我的外祖母所生的孩子中 9 個(gè)活了下來， 1 個(gè)幼年夭折，此外她還有過多次流產(chǎn)。守寡以后，她便立即投身于 女子高等教育事業(yè)之中。 她是格頓學(xué)院的創(chuàng)辦人之一， 為了使女性能進(jìn)入醫(yī)生職業(yè)， 她付出 了很多心血。她過去經(jīng)常講起她在意大利遇到的一位神情悲傷的老年紳士。 她詢問起他悲傷 的緣故，他說因?yàn)樗麆倓偹妥吡藘蓚€(gè)孫兒女。 “天哪！ ”她嚷道， “我有 72個(gè)孫

21、兒女，要是我 每送走一個(gè)都如此悲傷，那我一生就會(huì)是凄涼的！ ” 他則回答說： “你這狠心的女人啊！ ” 但作為她 72 個(gè)孫兒女中的一員，我則更喜歡她的處世方法。 80 歲時(shí)她發(fā)現(xiàn)自己有些難入睡， 于是她養(yǎng)成了午夜至凌晨 3 點(diǎn)閱讀科普書籍的習(xí)慣。 我想她根本無暇注意到自己在衰老。 我 認(rèn)為這正是保持年輕的良方。 只要你興趣廣泛且強(qiáng)烈， 有你還能做得了的事情， 就不必為自 己已經(jīng)活了多少年這種純粹的數(shù)字問題而傷神，更不必去想你來年無多的可能性。2. 至于健康，由于我很少得病，所以提不出什么有用的建議。我想吃就吃，想喝就喝， 想睡就睡。我做任何事情從來不是因?yàn)樗鼘?duì)健康有益， 盡管實(shí)際上我愛做的事

22、通常都是有益 健康的。3. 從心理上說，老年人要防止兩種危險(xiǎn)。其一是過分沉湎于往事。人不能生活在回憶當(dāng) 中，也不能生活在對(duì)美好過去的惋惜或者對(duì)已故友人的哀痛之中。 一個(gè)人應(yīng)當(dāng)把心思放在未 來、放在自己還可以有所作為的事情上。 這并不總是那么容易做到的， 因?yàn)橥碌姆至繒?huì)不 斷增加。人們很容易覺得過去自己的情感比現(xiàn)在更活躍，思想比現(xiàn)在更加敏銳。果真如此， 那就該忘掉它；可要是忘得掉的話，那很可能就不是真的。4. 另一件要避免的事是依戀年輕人，期望從他們的勃勃生機(jī)中獲得活力。子女們長(zhǎng)大之 后，就想過自己的生活。 如果你還像子女小時(shí)那樣關(guān)注他們， 你就會(huì)成為他們的累贅， 除非 他們異常麻木不仁。我倒不是說對(duì)子女不應(yīng)予以關(guān)注，而是說這種關(guān)注應(yīng)該保留在思想中； 可能的話， 還應(yīng)該寬仁， 而不是過分感情用事。動(dòng)物的幼崽一
