2018专八翻译训练题:自我安定

  中文原文:

  凡事不逃避,我喝我的清茶,荷花居污泥而不染,若为怕水污而种在旱地上,它早就枯死了。人生也一样,避恶、避丑、避邪,只能说明内心脆弱,一个自我安定的人,是不怕环境污染自己的,而有力量影响他人。古代孟母三迁是为了怕孩子受影响,要为了自己就没有必要逃避,后来孟子长大成人后也没听说孟母再搬家。自我安定可不是找一个安宁所在,而恰恰是在紊乱的环境中保持安定的心境。“定”是一种境界,是居于多变之中的不动摇。

  Translation:

  I stick to the pureness of my pleasure, never escaping from reality. The lotus, though growing in the mud, emerges unsullied from the filth. If, to avoid the dirt, one had planted it on dry ground, it simply would not grow. The same holds true for human beings. Shrinking from what is ugly, vile and evil only proves the frailty of one's character. A person in full possession of mental serenity never stands in fear of being mentally contaminated by the filthy environment. On the contrary, he can exert positive influence all around. Mencius's mother made three removals during his childhood to keep him away from bad influence, which did not pose any problem for her. History does not record any more of such removals after he grew up. Enjoying the tranquility of mind does not mean hiding oneself in a haven. What is meant is the maintenance of such a mental state in the midst of chaos, i.e. moral immovabiliy amidst kaleidoscopic changes.
