生活的道路(The road of life)
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.

另外有一些人，他把生活掌握在自己的手里，可以按照自己的喜好去創(chuàng)造生活，盡管這樣的人少之又少，但我卻被他們深深的吸引著�？赡苁澜缟喜]有諸如自由意志這樣的事情，但是無論怎樣，我們總有關(guān)于自由意志的的幻想。當(dāng)我們處在一個十字路口時，我們似乎可以決定向左走還是向右走，可是一旦做出選擇，我們卻很難意識到，實(shí)際上是世界歷史的全部進(jìn)程強(qiáng)迫我們做出了那樣的選擇。
