Change Makes Life Beautiful 生命美于变化？ That clear,perpetual outline of face and limb is but an image of ours, under which wegroup them a design in a web, the actual threads of which pass out beyond it. 人类那轮廓分明、长久不变的面颜和肢体，不过是一种表象，在它那框架之内，我们好把种种化合的元素凝聚一团 --- 这好像是蛛网的纹样，那织网的细丝 从网中穿出，又引向他方。 Change Makes Life Beautiful 生命美于变化 To regard all things andprinciples of things as constant modes or fashions has more and more become thetendency of modern thought. Let us begin with our physical life. Fix upon it inone of its more exquisite ( 精致的 , 细腻的 , 敏锐的 ) intervals, the moment, forinstance, of delicious recoil from the flood of water in summer heat. What isthe whole physical life in that moment but a combination of natural elements towhich science gives their names? But these elements, phosphorus ( 磷 ) and lime and delicate fibers, are present not in thehuman body alone: we detect them in places most remote from it. Our physicallife is a perpetual motion of them – the passage of the blood, the wasting andrepairing of the lenses of the eye, the modification of the tissues of thebrain under every ray of light and sound-processes which science reduces tosimpler and more elementary forces. Like the elements of which we are composedthe action of these forces extends beyond us: It rusts iron and ripens corn.Far out on every side of us those elements are broadcast, driven in manycurrents; and birth and gesture and death and the springing of violets ( 紫色的 紫罗兰 ) from the grave are but a few out of ten thousand resultant 合成的 ( 有结果的 ) combinations. That clear, perpetual outline of faceand limb is but an image of ours, under which we group them a design in a web,the actual threads of which pass out beyond it. This at least of flame – likeour life has, that it is but the concurrence ( 赞同 , 意见一致 , 协力 ) , renewed from moment tomoment, of forces parting sooner or later on their ways. 查看更多0个回答 . 5人已关注
