What I Have Lived ForRussell, Bertrand Arthur William (1872-1970)Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--I have found.With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.Bertrand Arthur William Russell (b.1872 - d.1970) was a British philosopher, logician, essayist, and social critic, best known for his work in mathematical logic and analytic philosophy. His most influential contributions include his defense of logicism (the view that mathematics is in some important sense reducible to logic), and his theories of definite descriptions and logical atomism. Along with G.E. Moore, Russell is generally recognized as one of the founders of analytic philosophy. Along with Kurt Gödel, he is also regularly credited with being one of the two most important logicians of the twentieth century.对爱情的渴望,对知识的追求,对人类苦难不可遏制的同情，是支配我一生的单纯而强烈的三种感情。

--语体特征与翻译策略1〉篇章本单元是一篇关于人生这样一个严肃话题的议论文--散文的一种，为语域中的正式语体。

文章命题清楚，说理透彻，逻辑性强，段落严谨，用词讲究，风格凝重而又不乏诙谐。

充满激情和生动的文字使文章在极具说服力的同时又具有文采。

2〉句式句式严谨，句际关系清楚，如第二自然段中的first,next,finally,because等词语都是表示句际关系的标志性词语。

虽然长句、或含有复句或并列句的长句占大多数，简单短句或口语化的句子也只有几个，但是句式的长短交替在篇章中运用得非常灵活，如同位语与中心语长距离的分隔，宾语前置于主语，主句的主谓之间穿插一个从句，破折号的灵活使用等--这一切形成了明显的篇章语言风格。

3〉语义共核语（正式语体（书卷语）、一般语体（共核）、非正式语体（口语体）在词汇层次、短语层次、句型层次和篇章层次都有区别）仍然为主，但是这些常见的共核语在表意上既简练又准确，如passion一词，就无法用feeling或emotion来替代。

另外正式语体的词也是显而易见的：govern比control正式；hither and thither 为古旧用法，但是用在这里比in all directions显得正式；verge比edge更具有文学色彩，即比喻性用法(metaphorical use)。

我为之而生活的三大热情三种简但却极度不可抵抗的激情支配着我的生活，对爱的渴望，对知识的索求，以及对人类苦痛遭遇的极度同情。

这三种激情像任性的烈风一般无所不在地吹打着我，把我吹过痛苦的深海，吹至绝望的边缘。

我追寻爱，首先，因为它带来狂喜—如此强烈，以致于我牺牲余生来换取几小时的喜悦。

再者，我追寻爱，因为它能缓解孤寂—在那可怕的孤独中，一个颤抖的灵魂从世界的边缘看到冰冷、无底、死寂的深渊。

最后，我追寻爱，还因为在爱的交融中，我看到了圣贤和诗人们想象出神秘而微妙的天堂的前景。

这就是我所寻找的，虽然对人生来说似乎过于美妙，这也是我最终找到了的。

我以同样的激情追求知识。

我祈望了解每个人的心灵；祈望知道星星为什么会闪烁……我得到了一点点的收获。

只要爱和知识把我托向天堂。

怜悯总把我带回尘世。

哭泣声和痛苦呼喊声回荡在我的内心。

忍饥挨饿的孩子，惨遭压迫者摧残的受害者，被儿女们视为可憎负担的无助的老人，连同这整个充满了孤独、贫穷和痛苦的世界，使人类所应有的生活成为了笑柄。

我渴望能够减少邪恶，但是我无能为力，而且我自己也在忍受折磨。

这就是我的一生。

我发现它值得一过。

如果再给我一次机会，我会很高兴地再活它一次。

what i lived for三种译文多维度翻译批评
作为一名优秀的翻译者，责无旁贷地将原文尽可能准确地表述出来，毫不妥协地遵循“意
思全，形似顺”的原则，不仅要掌握源语和目的语的语言知识，更要巧妙地运用翻译技巧。

我们以<What I Lived For>三种翻译的对比批评为例来探讨多维度翻译。

首先，第一种翻译“我活着是为了什么”可以了解源文是非常有深度的关于生活思考，但是
与原文意思完全一致比较困难，表达翻译者的态度不是很恰当。

其次，第二种翻译“我为
什么而活”，可以抓住原文的核心要义，表达出活着意味着要跟着一种精神、一种信仰，
表达出活着意味着在一定意义上创作，但仍然存在一定的理解偏差。

最后，第三种翻译“我活着的目的”作为最接近原文的翻译，既可以体现原文准确意思，又可以清晰传递出活
着是为了寻找生活目标，比较贴切。

总之，多维度翻译思想就是要把自己内在的情思译出来，注重人言虚心听及真诚翻译，做到精准而不死板，不断将精彩的文字礼赞给世界，从而获得最满意的翻译效果。

This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--I have found.With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men.I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I can’t ,and I too suffer.This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.Questions:1.What are love and knowledge so important for Russell?2.What does the pity for suffering mean to Russell?3.In what ways does Russell enlighten you?。
