这个世界用许多方法告诉我们,我们无所不能,我们不再受限于阶级,而是只要靠着努力就能攀上我们想到的高度。这是个美丽的理想,出于一种生而平等的精神,我们基本上是平等的,没有任何明显的阶级存在。这造成了一个严重的问题,这个问题是嫉妒。
We're told, from many sources, that any onecan achieve anything. We've done away with the caste system, we are now in a system where anyone can rise to any position they please. And it's a beautiful idea. Along with that is a kind of spirit of equality; we're all basically equal. There are no strictly defined hierarchies. There is one really big problem with this, and that problem is envy.
我们并不因罪恶而受罚,而是罪恶本身会惩罚我们。
译文:不管是贫穷还是富有,该欢乐高兴就要尽情欢乐,不懂得尽情欢乐的人是痴人。赏析:人生得意须尽欢,该高兴时要放开玩耍,该行乐时就要尽情享受。我们要做生活的主人,不做生活的奴隶。
