【原著選段】
If after I go out, a friend of mine gave a feast,and did not invite me to it, I shouldn’t mind a bit. Ican be perfectly happy by myself. Withfreedom, books, flowers, and the moon, whocould not be happy? Besides, feasts are not for meany more. I have given too many to care aboutthem. That side of life is over for me, veryfortunately I dare say. But if, after I go out, a friendof mine had a sorrow, and refused to allow me toshare it, I should feel it most bitterly. If he shut thedoors of the house of mourning against me I would come back again and again and beg to be admitted, sothat I might share in what I was entitled to share. Ifhe thought me unworthy, unfit to weep with him, Ishould feel it as the most poignant humiliation,as the most terrible mode in which disgrace could beinflicted on me. But that could not be. I have a rightto share in Sorrow, and he who can look at theloveliness of the world, and share its sorrow, andrealise something of the wonder of both, is inimmediate contact with divine things, and has got asnear to God’s secret as anyone can get.
【朱純深譯本】
假如出去后，哪位朋友設(shè)宴而不請(qǐng)我，我一點(diǎn)也不會(huì)介意。一個(gè)人我就可以快樂無邊了。有了自由、書籍、鮮花，還有月亮，誰能不快樂呢？而且，宴飲也不再是我所喜歡的了。餐宴我舉行過太多已經(jīng)不為所動(dòng)了。那方面的生活已經(jīng)與我無關(guān)，我敢說這非常幸運(yùn)。但如果出去后，哪位朋友有了哀痛而不讓我與他分擔(dān)，那我就太難受了。如果他把我關(guān)在居喪之屋外頭，那我會(huì)一次又一次地回去，求他放我進(jìn)門，好分擔(dān)我有權(quán)分擔(dān)的。如果他認(rèn)為我不配，不配與他同哭，那我會(huì)覺得這是奇恥大辱，再?zèng)]有比這更可怕的羞辱了。但這是不可能的。我有權(quán)分擔(dān)悲哀。能看著世界的可愛，又同時(shí)分擔(dān)它的悲哀， 并領(lǐng)悟兩者的奇妙，這樣的人已是直通神性，與上帝的真意再接近不過了。
