I made up my mind that I would hold on to nothing, that I would expect nothing, that henceforth I would live as an animal, a beast of prey, a rover, a plunderer.

我打定主意什么也不再坚持，什么也不再指望，从今以后我要像牲口一样生活，像一只猛兽，一个流浪汉、一个强盗。

Supposing that what is at any rate believed to be the "truth" really is true, and the meaning of all culture is the reduction of the beast of prey "man" to a tame and civilized animal, a domestic animal, then one would undoubtedly have to regard all those instincts of reaction and ressentiment through whose aid the noble races and their ideals were finally confounded and overthrown as the actual instruments of culture ; which is not to say that the bearers of these instincts themselves represent culture.

假定，现在被当作"真理"的东西果如其然，假定一切文化的意义就在于把"人"从野兽驯化成一种温顺的、有教养的动物、一种家畜，那么我们就必须毫不犹豫地把所有那些反对的和仇恨的本能，那些借以最终羞辱并打倒了贵胄及其理想的本能看作是真正的文化工具，当然无论如何不能说，那些具有这种本能的人本身同时也体现了文化。

Here there is one thing we shall be the last to deny: he who knows these "good men" only as enemies knows only evil enemies, and the same men who are held so sternly in check inter pares by custom, respect, usage, gratitude, and even more by mutual suspicion and jealousy, and who on the other hand in their relations with one another show themselves so resourceful in consideration, self-control, delicacy, loyalty, pride, and friendship—once they go outside, where the strange, the stranger is found, they are not much better than uncaged beasts of prey. There they savor a freedom from all social constraints, they compensate themselves in the wilderness for the tension engendered by protracted confinement and enclosure within the peace of society, they go back to the innocent conscience of the beast of prey, as triumphant monsters who perhaps emerge from a disgusting procession of murder, arson, rape, and torture, exhilarated and undisturbed of soul, as if it were no more than a student's prank, convinced they have provided the poets with a lot more material for song and praise.

同样是这种人，他们被如此严格地束缚在习俗、敬仰、礼节、感戴之中，甚至被束缚在相互监视、彼此嫉妒之中，他们在相互态度的另一方面却显示出如此善于思考，善于自我克制，如此温柔、忠诚、自豪、友好；一旦来到外界，接触到各种陌生事物，他们比脱笼的野兽好不了多少，他们摆脱了所有社会的禁锢，享受着自由，他们在野蛮状态中弥补着在和睦的团体生活中形成的长期禁锢和封闭所带来的紧张心理，他们返回到了野兽良心的无辜中，变成幸灾乐祸的猛兽，他们在进行了屠杀、纵火、强暴、殴打等一系列可憎的暴行之后也许会大摇大摆、心安理得地离去，仿佛只是完成了一场学生式的恶作剧，他们也许还相信，在很长一段时间内诗人们又有值得歌咏和颂扬的素材了。
