HOW TO GROW OLD(如何平静老去？)HOW TO GROW OLD如何平静老去？By Bertrand Russell波特兰·罗素1. In spite of the title, this article will really be on how not to grow old, which, at my time of life, isa much more important subject. My first advice would be to choose your ancestors carefully. Althoug h both my parents died young, I have done well in this respect as regards my other ancestors. My maternal grandfather, it is true, was cut off in the flower of his youth at the age of sixty-seven, but my other three grandparents all lived to be over eighty. Of remoter ancestors I can only discover on e who did not live to a great age, and he died of a disease which is now rare, namely, having his head cut off。
不管标题是怎么写的，这篇文章实际上告诉你的是如何减缓衰老，这样一个主题在我现在的生命阶段是很重要的。
我的第一个建议是认真仔细的去考察一下自己的宗谱。
虽然我的父母去世的比较早，但是我的别的祖先都活的比较长寿。
我敬爱的祖父，在67岁结束了自己像花期一样富有朝气的生命，我的其余几位祖辈的年龄都超过了80。
Howtogrowold英美文学欣赏赏析How to grow oldRussell (1872-1970) is a philosopher lived nearly 100 years old.His biggest charm, however, is not philosophy, but literature.He,once won the Nobel Prize for literature, vividly tells you how to have a successful old age with his simplistic and beautiful language.How to grow old is his another masterpiece.According to the first sentence,the topic is how to grow old,but the article’s true purpose is t elling people the best way to overcome the fear of death as you get older.In the first place,Russell drolly came up with his first advice:we should carefully selected our ancestors.After listing his great ancestors,I couldn’t agree any more----This, I think, is the proper recipe for remaining young. If you have wide and keen interests and activities in which you can still be effective, you will have no reason to think about the merely statistical fact of the number of years you have alr eady lived, still less of the probable brevity of your future. Sure it is.Then,Russell clearly describe the opinions of a series of healthy,growing old and death.He pointed that in old age we should mentally be vigilant to two dangers.One is undue absorption in the past, and the other is clinging to youth in the hope if sucking vigor from its vitality. Russell thinks that the best way to conquer the fear of death is to make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal. If one person in old age can regard his life as a river,he will not feel the fear of the death.Because the cause he devoted to will continue forever.And in my point of view, it entirely depends on your attitudeto life. Everyone was bor n to death. We have no means to avoid it but to face it. Faced with death, what we onl y can do is to go for what we want, what we need, and what we like.At the end of this article, Russell expressed his wish----I should wish to die while still at work, knowing that others will carry on what I can no longer do, and content in the thought that what was possible has been done. I can not help but feel deep respect for this man. He is really a philosopher. Doubtlessly, this kind of belief benefits us all no matter you are young or old.。
怎样活到老我认为，1、如果对一些合适的活动有着强烈的个人兴趣，他们将会很容易获得一个成功的晚年。
2、在这一方面，有着丰富的经验；这一方面的经验中可以得到的智慧能够有用，且没有被受压迫。
告诫长大的孩子们不要犯错误那是没有用的，因为他们不会相信你，犯错误压实受教育的重要部分。
但是如果你对于个人以外的事情不感兴趣，你会发现你的生活很空虚，3、除非你关心自己的同时也关心你的孩子及孙子。
在这种情况下，你要明白尽管你还可以提供物质服务，比如给他们零花钱或是织毛衣，你也不要期望他们会喜欢你的陪伴。
一些老人被死亡的恐惧所困扰。
如果年轻人有这种感觉，4、那也是合乎情理的。
年轻人有理由惧怕死在战场，5、觉得痛苦也是很正常的想到他们被骗走了生命所能提供的美好生活。
但是6、对于一个知道人间快乐与痛苦的老人，且事业已经完成，惧怕死亡就未必光彩了。
克服恐惧最好的方法就是——至少在我看来——7、让你的兴趣逐渐扩大，在个人之外，直到阻隔的墙一点点后退，你的生命将会和宇宙生命融合在一起。
独立的人生应该像一条河流——刚开始很小，被河岸所限制，汹涌地向岩石和瀑布冲去。
河流逐渐变宽，河岸后退，河水安静地流着。
没有任何停留就和大海汇聚一起，也失去了自身的存在但毫无痛苦。
在老年能够这样看待生活的人，将不会惧怕死亡，他所关心的事情将会继续下去。
如果随着生命的衰竭，疲劳也会增加，想要休息也是可以接受的。
我希望能够死于工作岗位上，并知道别人接手我不再做的工作，会自己所完成的感到满意。
1、如果对一些合适的活动有着强烈的个人兴趣，他们将会很容易获得一个成功的晚年。
参考译文：如果老年人对于个人以外的事情怀有强烈的兴趣，并参加适当的活动，他们的晚年是最容易过得好的。
原文：I think that a successful old age is easier for those who have strongimpersonal involving appropriate activities.(1)Impersonal 此词翻译有误，误译为“个人的”，忽略了否定前缀“im”，参考译文译为“个人意外的”符合句意；（2）“a successful old age is easier”，翻译为“更容易获得一个成功的晚年”，个人认为参考译文翻译为“…的晚年是最容易过得好的”也不是很流畅，也许翻译为“更易安享晚年”妥当。

how to grow old文章主旨How to grow old这篇文章是罗素人生信条的体现。
害怕死亡是人类的人性，而罗素认为，对于一个经历了生命中各种起起落落的人来说，害怕死亡并不是一件高尚的事情。
怎样更好地面对生老病死呢？罗素认为，克服死亡恐惧的最好方式是逐渐使自己的兴趣更加广泛，逐渐摆脱个人狭小的圈子，直到自我的围墙一点一点倒塌下来，让自己的生命与整个宇宙的生活融为一体。
文章节选：Some old people are oppressed by the fear of death. In the young there is a justification for this feeling. Young men who have reason to fear that they will be killed in battle may justifiably feel bitter in the thought that they have been cheated of the best things that life has to offer. But in an old man who has known human joys and sorrows, and has achieved whatever work it was in him to do, the fear of death is somewhat abject and ignoble. The best way to overcome it -so at least it seems to me- is to make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life. An individual human existence should be like a river: small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in thesea, and painlessly lose their individual being. The man who, in old age, can see his life in this way, will not suffer from the fear of death, since the things he cares for will continue. And if, with the decay of vitality, weariness increases, the thought of rest will not be unwelcome. I should wish to die while still at work, knowing that others will carry on what I can no longer do and content in the thought that what was possible has been done.有些老年人因为怕死而感到烦恼。
