悲剧的诞生The Birth Of Tragedy 第123期:现代文化的根源悲剧
It is certainly the sign of the "breach" of which everyone speaks as the fundamentAl malady of modern culture,
that the theoretical man, alarmed and dissatisfied at his own consequences, no longer dares entrust himself to the terrible icy current of existence:
也就是说，理论家对自己的结果感到恐惧和不满，再不敢信赖生存的恐怖冰流。he runs timidly up and down the bank.
他战战兢兢踯躅岸上，
So thoroughly has he been pampered by his optimistic views that he no longer wants to have anything whole, with all of nature's cruelty attaching to it..
他再也不敢求全，全总带着事物的自然暴力；他被自己的乐观主义观点骄纵惯坏了！Besides, he feels that a culture based on the principles of science must be destroyed when it begins to grow illogical,
况且，他觉得，一种建筑在科学原理上的文化，一旦开始显得不合理，that is, to retreat before its own consequences.
也就是说，在结论前知难而退，就势必遭到毁灭。Our art reveals this universal distress: in vain does one depend imitatively on all the great productive periods and natures;
今日的艺术已显出这种普遍的困难：他们徒然依赖一切伟大创造时代和创造天才作为榜样；in vain does one accumulate the entire "world-literature" around modern man for his comfort;
人们徒然搜集全部“世界文学”放在现代人周围以安慰他；in vain does one place oneself in the midst of the art styles and artists of all ages, so that one may give names to them as Adam did to the beasts:
人们徒然使人置身于历代艺术风格和艺术家中间，以便一一命名，象亚当给走兽命名那样；one still remains externally hungry, the "critic" without joy and energy, the Alexandrian man,
然而，读者始终是饥肠辘辘，“批评家”则愁眉苦脸，没精打彩，象亚历山德里亚的学者们那样，who is at bottom a librarian and corrector of proofs, and wretchedly goes blind from the dust of books and from printers' errors.
他们毕竟是图书馆员和校勘者，可怜让书上尘埃和误刊错字弄得失明。
