英語散文閱讀:The Road of Life 生活之路(英)
導語:在人生的十字路口上,我們很容易做出選擇,可是做出選擇后,我們卻很難意識到,實際上是世界歷史的全部進程強迫我們做出了那樣的選擇,往大了說,這就是“時勢造英雄”吧。
The lives of most men are determined by their enviroment.They accept the circumstances amid which fate has thrown them not only resignation but even with good will.They are like streetcars running contendedly on their rails and they despise the sprightly flitter that dashes in and out of the traffic and speeds so jauntily across the open country .I respct them; they are good citizens,good husbands,and good fathers ,and of course somebody has to pay the taxes; but I do not find them exciting. I am fasinated by the men, few enough in all conscience , who take life in their own hands and seem to mould it in to their own liking. It may be that we have no such thing as free will, but at all events, we have the illusion of it. At a cross-road it does seem to us that we might go either to the right or to the left and ,the choice once made, it is difficult to see that the whole course of the world's history obliged us to take the turning we did.【 】
