2011现代社会无论价值观的持有还是生活方式的选择都充满了矛盾。
而最让现代人感到尴尬的是，面对重重矛盾，许多时候你却别无选择。
匆忙与休闲是截然不同的两种生活方式，但在现实生活中，人们却在这两种生活方式间频繁穿梭，有时也说不清自己到底是“休闲着”还是“匆忙着”。
譬如说，当我们正在旅游胜地享受假期，却忽然接到老板的电话，告诉我们客户或工作方面出了麻烦——现代便捷先进工具在此刻显示出了它狰狞、阴郁的面容——搞得人一下子兴趣全无，接下来的休闲只能徒有其表，因为心里已是火烧火燎了。
选自《正面是休闲，背面是匆忙——现代人的生活节奏》，作者王小波参考译文：People always spend their earthly existence in shuttling between haste and leisure --- two distant life styles, though --- sometimes even hardly conscious of which way they are on. For instance, while still vacationing at the resort, we receive a call from the boss all of a sudden, knowing that some troubles are with the clients or the work. At this moment the handy cell phone is exposed as an dismal device more than a modern and advanced tool. The subsequent leisure is merely showy as such a call has shadowed our leisure tour and made us restless with anxiety.2010朋友关系的存续是以相互尊重为前提的, 容不得半点强求、干涉和控制。
朋友之间, 情趣相投、脾气对味则合、则交; 反之, 则离、则绝。
朋友之间再熟悉, 再亲密, 也不能随便过头，不恭不敬。
不然，默契和平衡将被打破, 友好关系将不复存在。
每个人都希望拥有自己的私密空间，朋友之间过于随便，就容易侵入这片禁区，从而引起冲突，造成隔阂。
待友不敬，或许只是一件小事，却可能已埋下了破坏性的种子。
维持朋友亲密关系的最好办法是往来有节，互不干涉。
选自《听南怀瑾讲<论语>》参考译文：Two persons, if with congenial taste or temper, would like to make friends and keep in contact with each other. Otherwise, even two friends would break their friendship, and cut off contact with each other. Among friends, who are more familiar to each other and have a closer relationship than any others, they cannot have no manners but keep ceremonious to each other. Otherwise, they will break their rapport and balance, and even destroy their friendship. Everyone in the world hopes that they have their own private spaces. If keeping everything at will between each other, they tend to enter their own private space, a no-go-area, which easily results in conflict and estrangement with each other. Keeping unceremonious, probably just a trifle, may bury a destructive seed for the friendship. The best way of keeping a close friendship is to keep temperate contacts with each other, and to make non-interference in each other.2009我想不起来哪一个熟人没有手机。
今天没有手机的人是奇怪的，这种人才需要解释。
我们的所有社会关系都储存在手机的电话本里，可以随时调出使用。
古代只有巫师才能拥有这样的法宝。
手机刷新了人与人的关系。
会议室门口通常贴着一条通告：请与会者关闭手机。
可是会议室里的手机声仍然响成一片。
我们都是普通人，并没有多少重要的事情。
尽管如此，我们也不会轻易关掉手机。
打开手机象征着我们与这个世界的联系。
手机反映出我们的“社交饥渴症。
”最为常见的是，一个人走着走着突然停下来。
眼睛盯着手机屏幕发短信。
他不在乎停在马路中央还是厕所旁边。
为什么对于手机来电和短信这么在乎？因为我们迫切渴望与社会保持联系。
选自《读者》2008年第10期中的《我们生活在机器中》，作者南帆参考译文：Cell phone has altered human relations. There is usually a note on the door of a conference room, which reads “Please Shut off Your Cell Phone”. However, the rings are still resounding in the room. We are all common people and have few urgencies to so. Still, we are reluctant to turn off the phone. Cell phone symbolizes our connection with the world and reflects our “thirsty for socialization”. We are familiar with the scene when a person stops his steps to edit messages with eyes glued to this phone, regardless of whether he is standing in other’s way or beside a restroom.2008都市寸土千金，地价炒得越来越高，今后将更高。
拥有一个小小花园的希望，对寻常之辈不啻是一种奢望，一种梦想。
我想，其实谁都有一个小小的花园，这便是我们的内心世界。
人的智力需要开发，人的内心世界也是需要开发的。
人和动物的区别，除了众所周知的诸多方面，恐怕还在于人有内心世界。
心不过是人的一个重要脏器，而内心世界是一种景观，它是由外部世界不断地作用于内心渐渐形成的。
每个人都无比关注自己及至亲至爱之人心脏的健损，以至于稍有微疾便惶惶不可终日。
但并非每个人都关注自己及至亲至爱之人的内心世界的阴晴。
选自《读者》2007年第11期中的《心灵的花园》，作者梁哓声参考译文：In fact everyone, I think, has a small garden and that is our inner world. Human intelligence needs to be developed, so does the inner world. What distinguishes man from animals, apart from the many well-known, also lies in the inner world. The heart is just an important organ, while the inner world is a landscape which gradually took shape under the continuous influence from the outside world on the heart. So great is the importance that everyone attaches to the physical condition of his own heart or those of his closest and dearest ones that merely a minor disease would enduringly weigh on his mind. But not everyone is concerned with the condition of their or their loved ones’ inner world.2007暮色中，河湾里落满云霞，与天际的颜色混合在一起，分不清哪是流云哪是水湾。
也就在这一幅绚烂的图画旁边，在河湾之畔，一群羊正在低头觅食。
它们几乎没有一个顾得上抬起头来，看一眼这美丽的黄昏。
也许它们要抓紧时间，在即将回家的最后一刻再次咀嚼。
这是黄河滩上的一幕。
牧羊人不见了，他不知在何处歇息。
只有这些生灵自由自在地享受着这个黄昏。
这儿水草肥美，让它们长得肥滚滚的。
如果走过了，你会发现它们洁白的牙齿，以及那丰富而单纯的表情。
选自《读者》2006年第13期中的《美生灵》，作者张炜参考译文1：Right beside the picturesque scenery was grazing a herd of sheep at the meanders of the river. They were so busy to look up at the beautiful dusk. Maybe they want to make the best use of the last moment of the dusk to chew before returning home. This is a scene of the beach along the Yellow River. The shepherd was not within sight, who was resting somewhere, leaving the free living creatures to enjoy the dusk. The beach along the river with plenty of water and exuberant grass fed the sheep and kept them plump. Getting closer to them, you may notice their white teeth, and rich yet simple faces with a lovely air. When taking more time to appreciate the faces, you may feel gentle affection for the lovely little creatures.参考译文2：Just beside this splendid picture, a flock of sheep are grazing with bent heads by the riverside. Hardly any of them cares to look up and throws a glance at the beautiful twilight. Perhaps they are using the last moment for another chew before going home. This is a scene taking place on the shore of the Yellow River. The shepherd, who is nowhere to be seen, is having a rest in an unknown place, leaving these living things to enjoy this moment of dusk with full ease and freedom. Here the water grass is so luxuriant and tender that the sheep have battened on them. If you approach them, you will see their snow-white teeth as well as their rich innocent expressions.2006中国民族自古以来从不把人看作高于一切，在哲学文艺方面的表现都反映出人在自然界中与万物占着一个比例较为恰当的地位，而非绝对统治万物的主宰。
