问题     In a calm sea every man is a pilot.
    But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all. Take the lot of the happiest — it is a tangled yarn. Bereavements and blessings, one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss.
    In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment.
    I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without. In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are.
    To regret one’s errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance. There is nothing noble in being superior to other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.

选项

答案     风平浪静的大海上,每个人都是领航员。
    但是,只有阳光而无阴影,只有欢乐而无痛苦,那根本不是人生。以最幸福的人的生活为例——那是一团纠缠在一起的麻线。丧亲之痛和幸福祝愿,彼此相接,使我们一会儿伤心一会儿高兴。甚至死亡本身也会使生命更加可亲。在人生的清醒时刻,在哀痛和伤心的阴影之下,人们最接近真实的自我。
    在生活或者工作的各种事务中,智力的作用不及性格,头脑的作用不如心情,天资不如受判断力控制的自制、耐心和规律。
    我始终相信,内心生活更严肃的人,在外表上更朴素。在一个奢华浪费的年代,我希望能向世人证明,人类真正需要的东西是非常少的。
    悔恨自己的错误,而且力求不再重蹈覆辙,这才是真正的悔悟。优于别人,并不高贵。真正的高贵应该是优于过去的自己。

解析
