不管是不是

Whatever it grants to vision and whatever its manner, a photograph is always invisible: it is not it that we see.- Roland Barthes

不管照片给你看的是什么，也不管它以何种形式出现--摄影一直以来都是超视觉的--它永远不是我们眼睛所看到的那张照片。

But whether I was meeting with two people or fifty, whether I was in one of the well-shaded, stately homes of the North Shore, a walk-up apartment on the West Side, or a farmhouse outside Bloomington, whether people were friendly, indifferent, or occasionally hostile, I tried my best to keep my mouth shut and hear what they had to say.

但是不管到会者是2个还是50个人，不管我是在北岸阴凉的豪华大宅，或是西区没有电梯的公寓里，抑或是在伯明顿市郊的农舍，也不管到会者的态度是友善的、不在乎的，有时甚至是不怀好意的，我都尽量保持礼貌不多说话，而是去倾听他们的心声。

I still remember a cold evening in 2003's winter,when the snowflake was blusterous in the sky,and when the road was much pale owning to the ice on the ground, and I had only two choices in front of me,going abroad or pursuing a postgraduate degree,maybe others didn't know my suffering,but I did,for my English was so poor that whichever I chose ,it would not be avail for me at last,I participated in a series of English classes,reading and writing all day long,I was very sorry that I had troubled too many friends, as a result ,I could simply communite with our foreign professor,but the problem was not simple,I got a low mark in my Toefl test,thanked to the language class in the school abroad,I arrived at Quebec three monthes later,my first impression about this city was cold, since my hometown is located in the south of the Yangtze River, I have to imagine what does the 'heavy snow' mean cause there are always snowing lightly,to my surprise,almost half a year it was heavy snowing in the city,and it did really satisfy my desire about the snow,furthermore,we also had a long holiday,when I got there,most of my classmates were prepared for their vacation ,so I could asked for help from the senior, maybe I was not tall but sometimes the snow on the ground was taller than me,actually ,I had a good time when I stayed with my friends for we have a common language named chinese,the language class was simple for me,but the teacher was serious,whether you passed the course or not was depended on her, so you'd better don't offend her,thank godness, I passed this class at first time after a few monthes,then began with the other courses,it was said that chinese students abroad was the most assiduous in the world,and that was ture,usually,we didn't have a strong suit in the ability of a foreign language,since it asked for some understanding in our course,so I had to borrowed the note from others when I first went to class,how times fly,my GPA first was above 4.0 at that time,I phoned my relations,telling them I was okey there,but in the first evening of that holiday,a fire broke out in our dorm,I couldn't find my passport after the incident,though most of our res were moved outside,maybe it was burnt out or was lost at somewhere,but it told me that I couldn't stay longer in this city,we comforted each other for a while,''Goodbye!

雪花在2003年一个寒冷的夜空中无情的肆虐着，回家的大道被雪映的煞白，而摆在我面前的却只有两条窄窄的小路，考研，出国，也许别人不会知道我的痛苦，可是我清楚，其实我的英语很烂，现在不管选那个，好像对我都不利，我疯狂的去参加一Qy系列的英语辅导班，从早到晚大声的阅读，没天没地的做题目，以致招来了很多非议，感觉可以和外教简单交流了，可是我的托福成绩还是不堪入目，不过好在那边学校开了语言课，所以三个月后，我还是顺利来到了加拿大的魁北克省，那里给我的第一感觉就是一个字'冷'，我们江南一般下小雪，大雪是什么只能靠想像了，不过那边将近有大半年的时间都在下大雪，让我这个雪盲好好过了一把雪瘾，不过假期也长，我去的时候大多已不上课了，所以可以找到学姐，学兄，也许是我的个子不太高，不过积雪有时完全可以把我湮没，和他们在一起感觉很亲切，很开心，也许我们在一起都说汉语吧，语言课是比较简单的，不过老师很变态，她说行才行，不行你就是行也不行，所以这个老师是绝对不能得罪的，学了很长一段时间，语言考试通过了，就可以正常上课了，呵呵，都说中国留学生最刻苦了，不苦行么，我们语言能力一般都不是强项，加上课程需要一些理解的能力，初次去听课，不借阅他人的笔记是绝对不行的，时间总是晃的很快，那次的GPA成绩第一次超过了4.0，打了电话回家，报了平安，可是假期的第一个晚上就发生了一些小小的意外，一把无名火把我们住的地方烧了，当时东西都搬出来了，好在没有损失什么，可是后来检查了一下，我的护照怎么都找不到了，也许是烧了吧，也是是掉了，反正这件事也告诉了我，魁北克我是待不长了，朋友们在一起相互惋惜了一阵。

Whatever they borrowed, this pessimism they did not borrow -- not from Greek thought, which was a joyous acknowledgment of and homage to the beautiful and noble in this world, with a studied disregard of the element of sorrow; not from Egyptian thought, which did not allow its elaborate speculations on retribution and judgment in the netherworld to cast a gloom on this present existence, but considered the universe created or evolved under the presiding wisdom of Thoth; not from Iranian thought, which held to the absolute supremacy of Ahura Mazda and only allowed Ahriman a subordinate share in the creation, or rather counter-creation, of the world; not from Indian Brahminic thought, which was Pantheism pure and simple, or God dwelling in, nay identified with, the universe, rather than the Universe existing as the contradictory of God; not, lastly, from Semitic thought, for Semitic religions were strangely reticent as to the fate of the soul after death, and saw all practical wisdom in the worship of Baal, or Marduk, or Assur, or Hadad, that they might live long on this earth.

不管他们借来的，这悲观他们不借钱-而不是从希腊认为，这是一个愉快的承认，并表示敬意的美丽和崇高在这个世界上，一个研究无视元素的悲哀；不是来自埃及认为，这不允许其拟定的报复猜测和判断中的地狱，以投下了阴影对本存在，但认为宇宙的创造或进化的主持下智慧的托提；不是来自伊朗的思想，举行了向绝对优势的胡马自达并只允许Ahriman下属份额的创造，而不是对抗或创造，对世界，而不是从印度Brahminic认为，这是泛神论纯粹和简单，或住在上帝，不查明，宇宙，而不是宇宙现有的矛盾上帝；没有，最后，来自犹太人的思想，为犹太人的宗教有奇怪的沉默，以命运的死亡后的灵魂，看到一切实际智慧的崇拜巴力，或马尔杜克，或亚述，或哈达，他们可能长期生活在地球上。

No matter how old you are and no matter how your family and friends push you, do not get married unconsideredly.

不管多大多老，不管家人朋友怎么催，都不要随便对待婚姻，婚姻不是打牌，重新洗牌要付出巨大代价。

How when we are in a Doubt or Hesitation, whether to go this Way, or that Way, a secret Hint shall direct us this Way, when we intended to go that Way; nay, when Sense, our own Inclination, and perhaps Business has call'd to go the other Way, yet a strange Impression upon the Mind, from we know not what Springs, and by we know not what Power, shall over-rule us to go this Way; and it shall afterwards appear, that had we gone that Way which we should have gone, and even to our Imagination ought to have gone, we should have been ruin'd and lost: Upon these, and many like Reflections, I afterwards made it a certain Rule with me, That whenever I found those secret Hints, or pressings of my Mind, to doing, or not doing any Thing that presented; or to going this Way, or that Way, I never fail'd to obey the secret Dictate; though I knew no other Reason for it, than that such a Pressure, or such a Hint hung upon my Mind: I could give many Examples of the Success of this Conduct in the Course of my Life; but more especially in the latter Part of my inhabiting this unhappy Island; besides many Occasions which it is very likely I might have taken Notice of, if I had seen with the same Eyes then, that I saw with now: But 'tis never too late to be wise; and I cannot but advise all considering Men, whose Lives are attended with such extraordinary Incidents as mine, or even though not so extraordinary, not to slight such secret Intimations of Providence, let them come from what invisible Intelligence they will, that' I shall not discuss, and perhaps cannot account for; but certainly they are a Proof of the Converse of Spirits, and the secret Communication between those embody'd, and those unembody'd; and such a Proof as can never be withstood: Of which I shall have Occasion to give some very remarkable Instances, in the Remainder of my solitary Residence in this dismal Place.

有时，我们会陷入无所适从的境地，踌躇不定不知道该走哪条路才好。这时候，内心常常会出现一种暗示，指示我们走这条路，虽然我们原来想走的是那条路。不仅如此，有时我们的感觉、愿望、或我们的任务明明要我们走那条路，可是心里忽然灵机一动，要我们走这条路；这种灵机也不知道是从哪里来的，也不知道出自什么影响，可就是压倒了原来的一切感觉和愿望，使我们走这条路。结果，后来的事实证明，如果我们当初走了我们自己想走的路，或者走了我们心目中认为应该走的路，我们则早已陷于万劫不复的境地。反复思索之后，我自己定下了一条规矩：每当自己心里出现这种神秘的暗示或冲动，指示我应做什么或不应做什么，我就坚决服从这种神秘的指示，尽管我不知道为什么该这么做或该这么走，我知道的只是心里的这种暗示或冲动。在我一生中，可以找出许许多多这样的例子，由于我遵循了这种暗示或冲动而获得了成功，尤其是我流落到这个倒霉的荒岛上以后的生活，更证明了这一点。此外还有许多例子。当时我若能用现在的眼光去看待，是一定会意识到的。但是，世上有许多道理，只要有一天能大彻大悟，就不算太晚。我奉劝那些三思而后行的人，如果在他们的生活里，也像我一样充满了种种出乎寻常的变故，或者即使没有什么出乎寻常的变故，都千万不要忽视这种上天的启示，不管这种启示是什么看不见的神明发出的。关于这一点，我不准备在这里讨论，也无法加以阐明。但这种启示至少可以证明，精神与精神之间是可以交往的，有形的事物和无形的事物之间是有神秘的沟通的。而且，这种证明是永远无法推翻的。关于这一点，我将用我后半生的孤寂生活中一些很重要的例子加以证明。
