B. 2010年12月英語六級答案
2010年12月英語六級考試部分答案
快速閱讀:
1.not be sustained in the long term
解析:關鍵字1994對應第一段第三行,題干中unsustainable即選項A中sustained的反義表達方式。選擇A。
2.Intergenerational conflicts will intensify.
解析:從書名定位到原文第二段,heading for the rock, the cleaner, 都暗示了兩代人之間的問題,最後的warfare則一目瞭然地指出了該矛盾。
3.politicians are afraid of losing votes in the next election
解析:首先需要理解題目意圖,即為何養老機制改革遲遲不能進行,然後定位到文章第四段,其實只要從段落中politician這一關鍵字就能選定D選項。
4.allow people to work longer
解析:從題干中the most effective method找到第五段第三句原話,直接選擇A選項。
5.D younger workers are readily available
解析:題目中employer為關鍵字,找到第六段,該段看似沒有直接提到為什麼僱主不願意僱傭old workers,但從其不斷分析新涌現出來的勞動力替代者,可以總結的出D選項,即年輕勞動力的供給已足以滿足企業需求。
6 large numbers of immigrants from overseas
解析:這道題間接考察了學生變換思維的能力,Japan在文中一時難以找到,但其所代表的發達國家群體developed countries卻出現在了第七段,而該段恰恰揭示了發達國家靠移民勞動力尋求養老機制危機一時的緩解的舉措。
7.They find it hard to balance career and family.
解析:compromise關鍵字找到第九段,關鍵字出現的句子前一句就是B選項。
8.be innovative and take risks
解析:題目中old societies關鍵字對應到倒數第六段第三行,題目中的less inclined正好與原文中的more strongly disinclined形成對照,所以答案只需摘錄之後的原文即可,即take risks than younger ones.
9.have families
解析:題目中關鍵字intergenerational warfare對應到原文倒數第五段。第二句直接對第一句做出了解釋,摘錄即可。
10.military service
解析:要理解題目中less willing to 的含義,即不情願,這樣定位到倒數第三段第一句的reluctant, commit sth. to sth. ,空格內需要填寫名詞,參照原文,即military service
聽力原文:(略)
仔細閱讀:
SectionA
47.
答案:feminine and weak
解析:文中提到…because they believe that such feelings are feminine and imply weakness. 要填在to be後面就應該轉化成形容詞形式。
48.
答案:lose composure
解析:文中提到may lead to a loss of composure。要用在主語後面就要把loss變成動詞lose。
49.
答案:stress-related disorders
解析:文中提到can contribute to stress-related disorder。
50.
答案:their relationship with partners
解析:文中提到…report lower relationship satisfaction as do their female partners.故這里要重新組合轉換表達形式。
51.
答案:aggressive
解析:文中提到…into physically aggression or violence,而此處在become後就要用aggression的形容詞形式。
SectionB:
Section B 第一篇)
52) solve virtually existing all problems
細節題。抓住時間點「In the early 2oth century」 我們從第一句 「offer solutions to almost every problem」 便可知道答案。選擇A選項。
53) They realized that science and technology alone were no guarantee for a better world.
推論題。 我們首先比較容易排除A和C項。B項具有迷惑性,關鍵是看「the stability of a society depended heavily on humanistic study」這個選項仔細看就會發現說得太絕對了,社會的問題主要是靠人文主義的研究?顯然不是很恰當。我們從下面那句也可以推斷出選D比較恰當。 「Two world wars and a Great Depression rocked the confidence of many people that scientific expertise alone could create a prosperous and ordered world.」
54) America is lagging behind in the STEMS disciplines.
細節題。主要在第二段里找答案。從段落後兩句「There is considerable and justified concern that the United States is falling behind much of the rest of the developed world in these essential disciplines.」 我們可以推斷出是選C選項。 A和D選項比較容易排除。不選B選項,因為文章中 「India, China, Japan, and other regions seem to be seizing technological leadership.」 seem to 表明這幾個國家只是有種趨勢,但還沒有have overtaken。
55) Insufficient funding.
細節題。我們在第三段里可以找到答案。 從「…are seriously underfunded…」 「Humanists are usually among the lowest-paid faculty members…」 這些信息中,可以很快知道是A選項。
56) Humanistic thinking helps cultivate and define our culture and values.
細節題。本題不難。作者為什麼如此著重人文主義的研究,其他三項都是非常具體的,且都不是重點。只有C選項符合。且我們從最後這一句 「But try to imagine our world as well without the remarkable works that have defined our culture and values.」 及作者的語氣可以更加確定是C選項。
第二篇:
57. It will be some time before a new Einstein emerges.
解 析:這道題針對開頭兩節。A和C答案比較容易排除,A說愛因斯坦把數學推到了一個極限,C說在將來的兩百年都不會有物理學家超過愛因斯坦,這兩個都明顯不 合文章大意。B答案說需要一個愛因斯坦才能建立一種大一統理論,屬於過度推理,並且細節性太強了。D答案是正確答案,很多同學不敢選D的原因是,因為有些 科學家們認為愛因斯坦或許還沒有誕生或許還是個小嬰兒,他們認為這樣一來就有可能愛因斯坦已經存在了。但是這句話裡面的愛因斯坦是代表偉大的科學家的意 思,那麼這個題目選擇D就是正確的,大家都同意的是像愛因斯坦那樣偉大的科學家還需要一定的時間才會出現。
58.. His independent and abstract thinking
解析:B他獨立與抽象思維能力。這一段是文章中間部分的內容概括。根據上下文意思推斷,愛因斯坦成功的原因,不能說是他在音樂方面的天分,也不能說他的努力或者他在數學方面的深厚基礎,因此答案選擇B。
59. They often go into fields yielding greater financial benefits.
解析:正確答案選擇D。這段文章是在問今天的物理學家們的情況, A說他們缺乏分析能力,B說他們擅長處理實際問題,C說他們重視發表文章,都是從根據文章細節中捏造出來的錯誤選項。D是對於文章內容的一個總結概括,數量眾多的物理學家進入了更有經濟利益的領域。
60. Nobody will read papers on apparently ridiculous theories.
解析:正確答案選擇D。結合Greene講的話,他說What an idea!還說是需要把頭往牆上撞的人才會相信能找到個解決方案呢!說明內容實在是比較荒誕。
61. was little known in academic circles
解 析:正確答案選擇B,說的是愛因斯坦在學術圈裡面默默無聞,跟原文裡面的「by a virtual unknown」相對應。有迷惑性的選擇項是D,因為文中提到了愛因斯坦的文章沒有配上腳注和注釋footnote and citations.但是D選擇項是說,愛因斯坦不懂得論文的格式,這個屬於過度推理了。
完型:
62 set out set out plans表示制定計劃
63 abandoning abandon 放棄,once unshakeable orthodoxy表示曾經不可動搖的做法,也就是現在要放棄了。
64 with struggle with表示同…斗爭,介詞搭配,這里表示設法應對廣告收入和報紙銷售量下降的局面。
65 intends intend to表示打算…,從後面的at the beginning of 2011,可知還沒有這么做,只是計劃或者打算這么做。
66 exceeded 超過,是說當用戶每月閱讀文章超過一定量時就要收費。
67 on 和side搭配,on the side of …表示擁護…;站在…一邊。
68 charge 本詞在文章中多次出現,charge sb表示向某人收費。
69 such as 表示舉例,從後面舉London's Evening Standard作為例子,可知應該選such as.
70 free 前面提到abandon readership revenue,即放棄讀者收益,由此可知應該是make print editions free.
71 acknowledged 表示承認,這里表示Arthur Sulzberger承認這么做是一種賭博。
72 bet 打賭,賭注,從前面的gamble可知應該選bet。
73 circulation 發行量,從後面的數量可知應該選circulation。
74 behind NYT排名第三,即排在the Wall Street Journal and USA Today後面。
75 While while在這里表示對比,從上下文可知NYT與美國其他報紙不同。
76 claim 聲稱,宣稱,這里是說NYT聲稱自己是全國范圍的報紙。
77 maintains 維持,運營,即NYT還在世界其他地方運營著26個辦公室。
78 like 從下文可知NYT和印刷行業的其他公司一樣,也受到金融危機的影響,所以選like,表示同…一樣。
79 A serious 嚴重的,考察形容詞與名詞的搭配,從下文的數據可知遭受嚴重經濟損失。
80 D suffered 遭受,suffer a loss遭受損失,常見搭配。
81 C loan 貸款,前文提到公司損失了很多錢,所以需要從別處借錢來補充資金。
翻譯
82. There is no denying that you ___________(越仔細越好) in dealing with this matter.
解析:can never be too careful / can not be too careful
【考點解釋】本題考查「越仔細越好」「再…也不為過」的固定搭配,即can never be too/can not be too + adj.
【原句精釋】無可否認,處理這件事,越仔細越好。
83. Only when I reached my thirties __________________________ (我才意識到讀書是不能被忽視的)
解析:did I realize that reading cannot be neglected
did I realize that reading is unignorable
【考點解釋】本題考查由only when 引起的局部倒裝。當only when置於句首,主句用局部倒裝,即將助動詞置於主語前面。only when引導句子時態為過去時(reached),為保持時態一致,主句助動詞用did;注意被動語態的使用,reading與neglect為被動關系。同時也可以使用be+adj的結構。
【原句精釋】直到三十歲,我才意識不能忽視讀書。
84. Much ___________________ (使研究人員感到驚訝),the outcome of the experiment was far better than they had expected.
解析:to the researchers』 surprise
【考點解釋】本題考查固定搭配 to one』s surprise 使…驚訝的是…
【原句精釋】讓研究人員大為驚訝的是,實驗結果比他們的預計好得多。
85. Oh, my, I can』t find my key; __________________________(我一定是把它放在哪兒了)。
解析:I must have left / put it somewhere.
【考點解釋】本題考查對過去事情的肯定的猜測,即must have+過去分詞,leave與put都有放置的意思,但leave強調遺忘在…,較之put,leave更貼合題意。
【原句精釋】天啊,我找不到鑰匙。我一定是把它放在哪兒了。
86.I ________________________(寧願加入你們去做義工)than go to the beach for a holiday.
解析:would rather join you as a volunteer
【考點解釋】考查結構「寧願…也不願…」, 因題干中已存在「than go」的結構,只能使用 「would rather do rather than do」。加入… join sb
【原句精釋】我寧願加入你們去做義工,也不願到海邊去度假。

A man went to see his doctor one day, because he was suffering from pains in his stomach. After the doctor had examined him carefully, he said to him, “Well, there‟s nothing really wrong with you, I‟m glad to say. Your only trouble is that you worry too much. Do you know, I had a man with the same trouble as you here a few weeks ago, and I gave him the same advice as I am going to give you. He was worried because he couldn‟t pay his tailor‟s bills. I told him not to worry about the bills any more. He took my advice and when he came to see me again two days ago, he told me that he now felt quite all right again. ” “Yes, I know all about that,” answered the patient sadly. “You see, I‟m that man‟s tailor!”
根據以上短文內容判斷正誤,正確的用“T”表示,錯誤的用“F”表示。
1. The tailor went to see his doctor because he has got a headache.
2. There is nothing serious with the tailor.
3. A man with the same trouble as the tailor a few days ago.
4. The doctor gave the man and the tailor the same advice.
5. The tailor was worried because a man couldn‟t pay his bills.
【答案及解析】
1. 選F。根據第1句A man went to see his doctor one day, because he was suffering from pains in his stomach可知本題是錯誤的。
2. 選T。根據…there is no thing really wrong with you (tailor)可知裁縫的身體並沒有什麼大礙,故可判斷此題與短文內容相符。
3. 選F。根據句子Do you know, I had a man with the same trouble as you here a few weeks ago可知本題所敘述的時間與短文內容不一致,因此可判斷此題是錯誤的。
4. 選T。根據…and I gave him the same advice as I am going to give you可知答案。
5. 選T。通讀全文我們可知:上一個病人是擔心他自己不能付錢給他的裁縫,而這個裁縫的病因卻是因為擔心那個人不能付錢給他的。

I‟ve loved my mother‟s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, ring her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she‟d said again, “it‟s for Elizabeth. ”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易動感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.
As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原諒) me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn‟t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told, as she‟d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折疊) and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
根據短文內容,選擇最佳答案。
1. The writer began to love her mother‟s desk ______.
A. after Mother died B. before she became a writer C. when she was a child D. when Mother gave it to her
2. The passage shows that ______.
A. mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
B. mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done
C. mother cared much about her daughter in words D. mother wrote to her daughter in careful words
3. The word “gulf” in the passage means ______.
A. deep understanding between the old and the young B. different ideas between the mother and the daughter
C. free talks between mother and daughter D. part of the sea going far in land
4. What did mother do with her daughter‟s letter asking forgiveness?
A. She had never received the letter. B. For years, she often talked about the letter.
C. She didn‟t forgive her daughter at all in all her life. D. She read the letter again and again till she died.
5. What‟s the best title of the passage?
A. My letter to Mother B. Mother and Children
C. My mother‟s Desk D. Talks between Mother and Me
【答案及解析】
1. 選C。根據I‟ve loved my mother‟s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. 可知作者當時還是個小孩子,故選C。
2. 選A。由But she lived “on the surface ”. 和全文內容可知,作者的母親表面上很冷漠,但心裡充滿了對作者的愛,正確答案是A。
3. 選B。從I was “too emotional”. But she lived “on the surface”. 可知此詞是指兩人之間不同的看法和觀點,應選B。
4. 選D。根據…a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. 可知應選D。
5. 選C。文章的開頭I‟ve loved my mother‟s desk…以及後面的Now the present of her desk told, as she‟d never been able to…可知作者是托物思人,以表達自己對母親的懷念之情,所以最佳標題應是C。

例6
One of the most important weapons used ring the Second World War was not a weapon used against people, but rather a drug used against disease. The wartime use of penicillin(青黴素)saved thousands of lives. In the First World War, for example, pneumonia (肺炎)was responsible for 18% of all the deaths in the United States army. In the Second World War, the rate went down to less than 1%. In addition, penicillin was helpful in keeping wounds from getting infected and in helping to speed the healing process of those wounds that did become infected.
Q: What was the pneumonia death rate of all the deaths in the United States army ring the Second World War?
A) About 18%.
B) No more than 1%.
C) 1%.
D) About 17%.
該段短文中句子的邏輯功能可鏈鄭劃分如下:第一句為主題引介句。第二句「在戰時使用青黴素挽救了幾千條人命」,應為主題句。餘下三句為支撐主題的陳述細節的句子:
承接語for example提示,第三句為例解性的細節;第四句具有與之對比的含義,可視為同一細節;in addition是增補性的承接語,提示第五句為另一個細節。
顯然,答案為B),二戰其間美軍中死於肺炎的人「不到百分之一」,選項用了」no more than 」,等同於原文的「less than」。

例 7
I remember thinking there was something absurdly melodramatic about screaming 「Help, help!」 at eight on a Tuesday evening in December and changing my plea to the more specific 「Help, let me in, please let me in!」 But the houses were cold, closed, unfriendly, and I ran on until I heard Jeremy』s screams behind me announcing that our attackers had fled.
The neighbors who had not opened their doors to us came out with baseball bats and helped Jeremy find his glasses and keys. In a group they were very brave. We waited for the cops to come until someone said to someone else that the noodles were getting cold, and I said politely, 「Please go and eat. We』re O.K.」
I was happy to see them go. -------
這兩段短文選自上外教出版社出版的《大學英語精讀》第二冊第七課《全靠運氣》。
文中講到作者某夜在住所附近遇到持槍歹徒,大聲呼救,而鄰居們卻裝聾作啞。待作者僥幸逃脫,歹徒亦逃去無蹤後,鄰居們才裝模作樣出來「幫忙」。
第一段中的「The houses were --- closed,」 是事實,而「The houses were cold, --- unfriendly,」 是作者的觀點。第二段的第一句「The neighbors who had not opened their doors to us came out with baseball bats---」是事實,而「In a group they were very brave.」是作者的觀點。還有,第二段的「--- someone said to someone else that the noodles were getting cold,」 也是事實,而第三段的「I was happy to see them go.」是作者的觀點。當然,這里指出的都是作者直白的觀點,而作者隱含的觀點是:鄰居們既懦弱、自私、和冷漠,又十分虛偽。
3.1.4 進行推論(Making Inferences)
在理解閱讀材料的主旨大意及抓住其重要細節時,還需具備獲得文章或句子所表達的隱含信息的能力,對所讀內容進行一定的引申和推理。往往可以從作者帶有感情色彩的語氣、措辭等文體特徵推斷出作者的觀點、態度、寫作目的、文章風格和基調。
例8
Worldwide fame burst upon Albert Einstein on November 7, 1919, when British astronomers announced they found the first confirmation of Einstein』s general relativity theory. Einstein had already become known in scientific circles because of his two astonishing theories: the special theory of relativity, published in 1905 when he was only 26 and a minor clerk in the Swiss patent(專利)office, and the general theory of relativity, advanced between 1913 and 1915. He was considered so brilliant by other scientists that in 1914 he was invited to join the famous Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences and to become head of the research branch at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute. He accepted the offer and moved to Berlin.
Q: It can be inferred from the passage that the author ________.
A) is critical about Einstein
B) is indifferent to Einstein』s achievement
C) doesn』t think highly of Einstein
D) praises Einstein highly
本文簡略地記敘了愛因斯坦獲得學術成就和聲望的經歷。盡管短文沒有直接陳述作者對愛因斯坦的評論,但從某些記敘的措辭中仍可窺見作者對愛因斯坦的稱頌,如Worldwide fame burst upon---(---聲震全球),--- so brilliant--- that---(---才華橫溢---以致)等。由此可知,答案應為D),作者「高度評價愛因斯坦」。其餘三項均不合作者的態度。
3.1.5 作結論(Drawing Conclusions)
要根據上下文的邏輯關系,有理有據地推斷結論。結論應基於文章中的事實和證據,
而不是基於讀者自己的觀點和喜好。

雙語閱讀:我的世界觀——愛因斯坦The World As I See It
How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose be knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people-first of all for those upon whose *** iles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men,living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving. I am strongly drawn to a frugal life and am often oppressively aware that I am engrossing an une amount of the labor of my fellow-men. I regard class distinctions as unjustified and, in the last resort, based on force. I also believe that a simple and unassuming life is good for everybody, physically and mentally.
I do not at all believe in human freedom in the philosophical sense. Everybody acts not only under external pulsion but also in accordance with inner necessity. Schopenhauer『s saying, "A man can do what he wants,but not want what he wants," has been a very real inspiration to me since my youth; it has been a continual consolation in the face of life『s hardships, my own and others『, and an unfailing well-spring of tolerance. This realization mercifully mitigates the easily paralyzing sense of responsibility and prevents us from taking ourselves and other people all too seriously; it is concive to a view of life which, in particular, gives humor its e.
To inquire after the meaning or object of one『s own existence or that of all creatures has always seemed to me absurd from an objective point of view. And yet everybody has certain ideals which determine the direction of his endeavors and his judgments. In this sense I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves-this ethical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty. The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. Without the sense of kinship with men of like mind, without the occupation with the objective world,the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific endeavors, life would have seemed to me empty. The trite objects of human efforts-possessions,outward success, luxury-have always seemed to me contemptible.
My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct contact with other human beings and human munities. I am truly a "lone traveler" and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friend, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all these ties, I have never lost a sense of distance and a need for solitude-feelings which increase with the years. One bees sharply aware, but without regret,of the limits of mutual understanding and consonance with other people. No doubt, such a person loses some of his innocence and unconcern; on the other hand, he is largely independent, of the opinions, habits, and judgments of his fellows and avoids the temptation to build his inner equilibrium upon such insecure foundations.
My political ideal is democracy. Let every man be respected as an indivial and no man idolized. It is an irony of fate that I myself have been the recipient of excessive admiration and reverence from my fellow-being, through no fault, and no merit, of my own. The cause of this may well be the desire, unattainable for many, to understand the few ideas to which I have with my feeble powers attained through ceaseless struggle. I am quite aware that it is necessary for the achievement of the objective of an organization that one man should do the thinking and directing and generally bear the responsibility. But the led must not be coerced, they must be able to choose their leader. An autocratic system of coercion, in my opinion, soon degenerates. For force always attracts men of low morality, and I believe it to be an invariable rule that tyrants of genius are succeeded by scoundrels, For this reason I have always been passionately opposed to systems such as we see in Italy and Russia today. The thing that has brought discredit upon the form of democracy as it exists in Europe today is not to be laid to the door of the democratic principle as such, but to the lack of stability of governments and to the impersonal character of the electoral system. I believe that in this respect the United States of America have found the right way. They have a President powers really to exercise his responsibility. What I value, on the other hand, in the German political system is the more extensive provision that it makes for the indivial in case of illness or need. The really valuable thing in the pageant of human life seems to me not the political state, but the creative, sentient indivial, the personality; it alone creates the noble and the sublime, while the herd as such remains ll in thought and ll in feeling. This topic brings me to that worst outcrop of herd life, the military system,which I abhor. That a man can take pleasure in marching in fours to the strains of a band is enough to make me despise him. He has only been given his big brain by mistake; unprotected spinal marrow was all he needed. This plaguespot of civilization ought to be abolished with all possible speed. Heroi *** on mand, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patrioti *** - how passionately I hate them! How vile and despicable seems war to me! I would rather be hacked in pieces than take part in such an abominable business. My opinion of the human race is high enough that I believe this bogey would have disappeared long ago, had the sound sense of the peoples not been systematically corrupted by mercial and political interests acting through the schools and the Press.
The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science . Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed. It was the experience of mystery - even if mixed with fear - that engendered religion. A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot perate, our perceptions of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which only in their most primitive forms are accessible to our minds - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute true religiosity; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man. I can not conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves. Neither can I nor would I want to conceive of an indivial that survives his physical death; let feeble souls, from fear or absurd egoi *** , cherish such thoughts. I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life and with the awareness and a glimpse of the marvelous structure of the existing world, together with the devoted striving to prehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifests itself in nature
我的世界觀
阿爾伯特•愛因斯坦
我們這些總有一死的人的命運多麼奇特!我們每個人在這個世界上都只作一個短暫的逗留;目的何在,卻無從知道,盡管有時自以為對此若有所感。但是,不必深思,只要從日常生活就可以明白:人是為別人而生存的──首先是為那樣一些人,我們的幸福全部依賴於他們的喜悅和健康;其次是為許多我們所不認識的人,他們的命運通過同情的紐帶同我們密切結合在一起。我每天上百次的提醒自己:我的精神生活和物質生活都是以別人(包括生者和死者)的勞動為基礎的,我必須盡力以同樣的分量來報償我所領受了的和至今還在領受著的東西。我強烈地嚮往著儉朴的生活。並且時常發覺自己佔用了同胞的過多勞動而難以忍受。我認為階級的區分是不合理的,它最後所憑借的是以暴力為根據。我也相信,簡單淳樸的生活,無論在身體上還是在精神上,對每個人都是有益的。
我完全不相信人類會有那種在哲學意義上的自由。每一個人的行為不僅受著外界的強制,而且要適應內在的必然。叔本華說:「人雖然能夠做他所想做的,但不能要他所想要的。」這句格言從我青年時代起就給了我真正的啟示;在我自己和別人的生活面臨困難的時候,它總是使我們得到安慰,並且是寬容的持續不斷的源泉。這種體會可以寬大為懷地減輕那種容易使人氣餒的責任感,也可以防止我們過於嚴肅地對待自己和別人;它導致一種特別給幽默以應有地位的人生觀。
要追究一個人自己或一切生物生存的意義或目的,從客觀的觀點看來,我總覺得是愚蠢可笑的。可是每個人都有一些理想,這些理想決定著他的努力和判斷的方向。就在這個意義上,我從來不把安逸和享樂看作生活目的本身──我把這種倫理基礎叫做豬欄的理想。照亮我的道路,是善、美和真。要是沒有志同道合者之間的親切感情,要不是全神貫注於客觀世界──那個在藝術和科學工作領域里永遠達不到的對象,那麼在我看來,生活就會是空虛的。我總覺得,人們所努力追求的庸俗目標──財產、虛榮、奢侈的生活──都是可鄙的。
我有強烈的社會正義感和社會責任感,但我又明顯地缺乏與別人和社會直接接觸的要求,這兩者總是形成古怪的對照。我實在是一個「孤獨的旅客」,我未曾全心全意地屬於我的國家、我的家庭、我的朋友,甚至我最為接近的親人;在所有這些關系面前,我總是感覺到一定距離而且需要保持孤獨──而這種感受正與年俱增。人們會清楚地發覺,同別人的相互了解和協調一致是有限度的,但這不值得惋惜。無疑,這樣的人在某種程度上會失去他的天真無邪和無憂無慮的心境;但另一方面,他卻能夠在很大程度上不為別人的意見、習慣和判斷所左右,並且能夠避免那種把他的內心平衡建立在這樣一些不可靠的基礎之上的誘惑。
我的政治理想是民主政體。讓每一個人都作為個人而受到尊重,而不讓任何人成為被崇拜的偶像。我自己一直受到同代人的過分的贊揚和尊敬,這不是由於我自己的過錯,也不是由於我自己的功勞,而實在是一種命運的嘲弄。其原因大概在於人們有一種願望,想理解我以自已微薄的綿力,通過不斷的斗爭所獲得的少數幾個觀念,而這種願望有很多人卻未能實現。我完全明白,一個組織要實現它的目的,就必須有一個人去思考,去指揮、並且全面擔負起責任來。但是被領導的人不應當受到強迫,他們必須能夠選擇自己的領袖。在我看來,強迫的專制制度很快就會腐化墮落。因為暴力所招引來的總是一些品德低劣的人,而且我相信,天才的暴君總是由無賴來繼承的,這是一條千古不易的規律。就是由於這個緣故,我總強烈地反對今天在義大利和俄國所見到的那種制度。像歐洲今天所存在的情況,已使得民主形式受到懷疑,這不能歸咎於民主原則本身,而是由於 *** 的不穩定和選舉制度中與個人無關的特徵。我相信美國在這方面已經找到了正確的道路。他們選出了一個任期足夠長的總統,他有充分的權力來真正履行他的職責。另一方面,在德國政治制度中,為我所看重的是它為救濟患病或貧困的人作出了可貴的廣泛的規定。在人生的豐富多彩的表演中,我覺得真正可貴的,不是政治上的國家,而是有創造性的、有感情的個人,是人格;只有個人才能創造出高尚的和卓越的東西,而群眾本身在思想上總是遲鈍的,在感覺上也總是遲鈍的。
講到這里,我想起了群眾生活中最壞的一種表現,那就是使我厭惡的軍事制度。一個人能夠洋洋得意的隨著軍樂隊在四列縱隊里行進,單憑這一點就足以使我對他鄙夷不屑。他所以長了一個大腦,只是出於誤會;光是骨髓就可滿足他的全部需要了。文明的這種罪惡的淵藪,應當盡快加以消滅。任人支配的英雄主義、冷酷無情的暴行,以及在愛國主義名義下的一切可惡的胡鬧,所有這些都使我深惡痛絕!在我看來,戰爭是多麼卑鄙、下流!我寧願被千刀萬剮,也不願參與這種可憎的勾當。盡管如此,我對人類的評價還是十分高的,我相信,要是人民的健康感情沒有遭到那些通過學校和報紙而起作用的商業利益和政治利益的蓄意敗壞,那麼戰爭這個妖魔早就該絕跡了。
我們所能有的最美好的經驗是奧秘的經驗。它是堅守在真正藝術和真正科學發源地上的基本感情。誰要體驗不到它,誰要是不再有好奇心,也不再有驚訝的感覺,誰就無異於行屍走肉,他的眼睛便是模糊不清的。就是這樣奧秘的經驗──雖然摻雜著恐懼──產生了宗教。我們認識到有某種為我們所不能洞察的東西存在,感覺到那種只能以其最原始的形式接近我們的心靈的最深奧的理性和最燦爛的美──正是這種認識和這種情感構成了真正的宗教感情;在這個意義上,而且也只是在這個意義上,我才是一個具有深摯的宗教感情的人。我無法想像存在這樣一個上帝,它會對自己的創造物加以賞罰,會具有我們在自己身上所體驗到的那種意志。我不能也不願去想像一個人在肉體死亡以後還會繼續活著;讓那些脆弱的靈魂,由於恐懼或者由於可笑的唯我論,去拿這種思想當寶貝吧!我自己只求滿足於生命永恆的奧秘,滿足於覺察現存世界的神奇結構,窺見它的一鱗半爪,並且以誠摯的努力去領悟在自然界中顯示出來的那個理性的一部分,倘若真能如此,即使只領悟其極小的一部分,我也就心滿意足了。
