Don't deal with sorrow as your particular precious stuff. It isshared by all humanity. Deal with it not as your particular sorrow,your private quiet sorrow, but as the sorrow of all human beings,whether you are a man or a woman, rich or poor, sophisticated or atthe height of your excellence. Please don't deal with all these factors like fear, pleasure, sorrow, love, and so on as something separate from each other. You must approach this whole thing wholly,not fragmentarily. If you approach it fragmentarily, you will never solve it. So, look at greed, pain, sorrow, as a whole movement of life, not something different from life. This is our daily life. To find whether there is an end to all this - to misery, to conflict,pain, sorrow and fear - one must be able to perceive them, one must be able to be aware of them.We must understand what is perception, how to look. Is the observer who looks at all this - the poverty, the loneliness, the anxiety, theuncertainty, the suffering - different from all that or is the observer all that? I will explain this. We have separated the `me',who is the observer, from that which he is observing. I say I am suffering and I say to myself that suffering must end, and to end it,I must suppress it, I must escape from it, I must follow a certain system. So, I am different from fear, from pleasure, from pain,sorrow. Are you different from all that? Or you may think that there is something in you which is totally different from all that. If you think that, it is part of your thought, and therefore there is nothing sacred there. So, is the observer different from the observed? When you are angry, envious,brutal,violent, are you not all that? The meditator is the meditation. Please sir, think about it. The observer is the observed. See the importance of this. Before, we have divided the observer from the observed. That means there is a division between that and the other. So, there was conflict. You could then control it,suppress it, fight it, but if you are that, if you are sorrow, if you are fear, if you are pleasure, you are the conglomeration of all this.To realize that fact is a tremendous reality; therefore, there is no division, and therefore there is no conflict; the observer is the observed. Then a totally different action takes place, a totally different chemical action takes place.
J. Krishnamurti Talks in Bombay 3rd Public Talk 29th January, 1983作者: Minami 时间: 2008-9-27 13:59 标题: 一点浅见 >at the height of your excellence
>出类拔萃
讨论:原文是说“处于自己的巅峰时期”,是跟自己比较,不是跟他人比较。
>Please don't deal with all these factors like fear, pleasure, sorrow, love, and so on as something separate from each other.
>请不要用恐惧、快乐、悲伤、爱等等与他人分隔
讨论:这里应该是误解了,原文说的是别把恐惧、快乐、悲伤、爱等分开对待
>You must approach this whole thing wholly,not fragmentarily.
>你必须完整非片面地接近这一切。
讨论:衔接上句,就可看出上句理解错误的地方。
试译:你必须把这一切完整地看待, 不可随意分割。
>So, look at greed, pain, sorrow, as a whole movement of life,
>因此,看着贪婪,苦痛,悲伤,把它们当作生命的整个运动
讨论:‘看着’比较直译
试译:因此,把贪婪、苦痛、悲伤当成人生的整体运作来看

试译一句:
---Deal with it not as your particular sorrow,your private quiet sorrow, but as the sorrow of all human beings,whether you are a man or a woman, rich or poor, sophisticated or atthe height of your excellence.
---切勿把悲痛、幽伤视做你的专有。不分性别,不论贵贱,不管是历尽沧桑还是正春风得意,人皆有此情感。
