B. 2010年12月英语六级答案
2010年12月英语六级考试部分答案
快速阅读:
1.not be sustained in the long term
解析:关键字1994对应第一段第三行,题干中unsustainable即选项A中sustained的反义表达方式。选择A。
2.Intergenerational conflicts will intensify.
解析:从书名定位到原文第二段,heading for the rock, the cleaner, 都暗示了两代人之间的问题,最后的warfare则一目了然地指出了该矛盾。
3.politicians are afraid of losing votes in the next election
解析:首先需要理解题目意图,即为何养老机制改革迟迟不能进行,然后定位到文章第四段,其实只要从段落中politician这一关键字就能选定D选项。
4.allow people to work longer
解析:从题干中the most effective method找到第五段第三句原话,直接选择A选项。
5.D younger workers are readily available
解析:题目中employer为关键字,找到第六段,该段看似没有直接提到为什么雇主不愿意雇佣old workers,但从其不断分析新涌现出来的劳动力替代者,可以总结的出D选项,即年轻劳动力的供给已足以满足企业需求。
6 large numbers of immigrants from overseas
解析:这道题间接考察了学生变换思维的能力,Japan在文中一时难以找到,但其所代表的发达国家群体developed countries却出现在了第七段,而该段恰恰揭示了发达国家靠移民劳动力寻求养老机制危机一时的缓解的举措。
7.They find it hard to balance career and family.
解析:compromise关键字找到第九段,关键字出现的句子前一句就是B选项。
8.be innovative and take risks
解析:题目中old societies关键字对应到倒数第六段第三行,题目中的less inclined正好与原文中的more strongly disinclined形成对照,所以答案只需摘录之后的原文即可,即take risks than younger ones.
9.have families
解析:题目中关键字intergenerational warfare对应到原文倒数第五段。第二句直接对第一句做出了解释,摘录即可。
10.military service
解析:要理解题目中less willing to 的含义,即不情愿,这样定位到倒数第三段第一句的reluctant, commit sth. to sth. ,空格内需要填写名词,参照原文,即military service
听力原文:(略)
仔细阅读:
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后面就应该转化成形容词形式。
48.
答案:lose composure
解析:文中提到may lead to a loss of composure。要用在主语后面就要把loss变成动词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.故这里要重新组合转换表达形式。
51.
答案:aggressive
解析:文中提到…into physically aggression or violence,而此处在become后就要用aggression的形容词形式。
SectionB:
Section B 第一篇)
52) solve virtually existing all problems
细节题。抓住时间点“In the early 2oth century” 我们从第一句 “offer solutions to almost every problem” 便可知道答案。选择A选项。
53) They realized that science and technology alone were no guarantee for a better world.
推论题。 我们首先比较容易排除A和C项。B项具有迷惑性,关键是看“the stability of a society depended heavily on humanistic study”这个选项仔细看就会发现说得太绝对了,社会的问题主要是靠人文主义的研究?显然不是很恰当。我们从下面那句也可以推断出选D比较恰当。 “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.
细节题。主要在第二段里找答案。从段落后两句“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.” 我们可以推断出是选C选项。 A和D选项比较容易排除。不选B选项,因为文章中 “India, China, Japan, and other regions seem to be seizing technological leadership.” seem to 表明这几个国家只是有种趋势,但还没有have overtaken。
55) Insufficient funding.
细节题。我们在第三段里可以找到答案。 从“…are seriously underfunded…” “Humanists are usually among the lowest-paid faculty members…” 这些信息中,可以很快知道是A选项。
56) Humanistic thinking helps cultivate and define our culture and values.
细节题。本题不难。作者为什么如此着重人文主义的研究,其他三项都是非常具体的,且都不是重点。只有C选项符合。且我们从最后这一句 “But try to imagine our world as well without the remarkable works that have defined our culture and values.” 及作者的语气可以更加确定是C选项。
第二篇:
57. It will be some time before a new Einstein emerges.
解 析:这道题针对开头两节。A和C答案比较容易排除,A说爱因斯坦把数学推到了一个极限,C说在将来的两百年都不会有物理学家超过爱因斯坦,这两个都明显不 合文章大意。B答案说需要一个爱因斯坦才能建立一种大一统理论,属于过度推理,并且细节性太强了。D答案是正确答案,很多同学不敢选D的原因是,因为有些 科学家们认为爱因斯坦或许还没有诞生或许还是个小婴儿,他们认为这样一来就有可能爱因斯坦已经存在了。但是这句话里面的爱因斯坦是代表伟大的科学家的意 思,那么这个题目选择D就是正确的,大家都同意的是像爱因斯坦那样伟大的科学家还需要一定的时间才会出现。
58.. His independent and abstract thinking
解析:B他独立与抽象思维能力。这一段是文章中间部分的内容概括。根据上下文意思推断,爱因斯坦成功的原因,不能说是他在音乐方面的天分,也不能说他的努力或者他在数学方面的深厚基础,因此答案选择B。
59. They often go into fields yielding greater financial benefits.
解析:正确答案选择D。这段文章是在问今天的物理学家们的情况, A说他们缺乏分析能力,B说他们擅长处理实际问题,C说他们重视发表文章,都是从根据文章细节中捏造出来的错误选项。D是对于文章内容的一个总结概括,数量众多的物理学家进入了更有经济利益的领域。
60. Nobody will read papers on apparently ridiculous theories.
解析:正确答案选择D。结合Greene讲的话,他说What an idea!还说是需要把头往墙上撞的人才会相信能找到个解决方案呢!说明内容实在是比较荒诞。
61. was little known in academic circles
解 析:正确答案选择B,说的是爱因斯坦在学术圈里面默默无闻,跟原文里面的“by a virtual unknown”相对应。有迷惑性的选择项是D,因为文中提到了爱因斯坦的文章没有配上脚注和注释footnote and citations.但是D选择项是说,爱因斯坦不懂得论文的格式,这个属于过度推理了。
完型:
62 set out set out plans表示制定计划
63 abandoning abandon 放弃,once unshakeable orthodoxy表示曾经不可动摇的做法,也就是现在要放弃了。
64 with struggle with表示同…斗争,介词搭配,这里表示设法应对广告收入和报纸销售量下降的局面。
65 intends intend to表示打算…,从后面的at the beginning of 2011,可知还没有这么做,只是计划或者打算这么做。
66 exceeded 超过,是说当用户每月阅读文章超过一定量时就要收费。
67 on 和side搭配,on the side of …表示拥护…;站在…一边。
68 charge 本词在文章中多次出现,charge sb表示向某人收费。
69 such as 表示举例,从后面举London's Evening Standard作为例子,可知应该选such as.
70 free 前面提到abandon readership revenue,即放弃读者收益,由此可知应该是make print editions free.
71 acknowledged 表示承认,这里表示Arthur Sulzberger承认这么做是一种赌博。
72 bet 打赌,赌注,从前面的gamble可知应该选bet。
73 circulation 发行量,从后面的数量可知应该选circulation。
74 behind NYT排名第三,即排在the Wall Street Journal and USA Today后面。
75 While while在这里表示对比,从上下文可知NYT与美国其他报纸不同。
76 claim 声称,宣称,这里是说NYT声称自己是全国范围的报纸。
77 maintains 维持,运营,即NYT还在世界其他地方运营着26个办公室。
78 like 从下文可知NYT和印刷行业的其他公司一样,也受到金融危机的影响,所以选like,表示同…一样。
79 A serious 严重的,考察形容词与名词的搭配,从下文的数据可知遭受严重经济损失。
80 D suffered 遭受,suffer a loss遭受损失,常见搭配。
81 C loan 贷款,前文提到公司损失了很多钱,所以需要从别处借钱来补充资金。
翻译
82. There is no denying that you ___________(越仔细越好) in dealing with this matter.
解析:can never be too careful / can not be too careful
【考点解释】本题考查“越仔细越好”“再…也不为过”的固定搭配,即can never be too/can not be too + adj.
【原句精释】无可否认,处理这件事,越仔细越好。
83. Only when I reached my thirties __________________________ (我才意识到读书是不能被忽视的)
解析:did I realize that reading cannot be neglected
did I realize that reading is unignorable
【考点解释】本题考查由only when 引起的局部倒装。当only when置于句首,主句用局部倒装,即将助动词置于主语前面。only when引导句子时态为过去时(reached),为保持时态一致,主句助动词用did;注意被动语态的使用,reading与neglect为被动关系。同时也可以使用be+adj的结构。
【原句精释】直到三十岁,我才意识不能忽视读书。
84. Much ___________________ (使研究人员感到惊讶),the outcome of the experiment was far better than they had expected.
解析:to the researchers’ surprise
【考点解释】本题考查固定搭配 to one’s surprise 使…惊讶的是…
【原句精释】让研究人员大为惊讶的是,实验结果比他们的预计好得多。
85. Oh, my, I can’t find my key; __________________________(我一定是把它放在哪儿了)。
解析:I must have left / put it somewhere.
【考点解释】本题考查对过去事情的肯定的猜测,即must have+过去分词,leave与put都有放置的意思,但leave强调遗忘在…,较之put,leave更贴合题意。
【原句精释】天啊,我找不到钥匙。我一定是把它放在哪儿了。
86.I ________________________(宁愿加入你们去做义工)than go to the beach for a holiday.
解析:would rather join you as a volunteer
【考点解释】考查结构“宁愿…也不愿…”, 因题干中已存在“than go”的结构,只能使用 “would rather do rather than do”。加入… join sb
【原句精释】我宁愿加入你们去做义工,也不愿到海边去度假。

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!”
根据以上短文内容判断正误,正确的用“T”表示,错误的用“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.

2. 选T。根据…there is no thing really wrong with you (tailor)可知裁缝的身体并没有什么大碍,故可判断此题与短文内容相符。
3. 选F。根据句子Do you know, I had a man with the same trouble as you here a few weeks ago可知本题所叙述的时间与短文内容不一致,因此可判断此题是错误的。
4. 选T。根据…and I gave him the same advice as I am going to give you可知答案。
5. 选T。通读全文我们可知:上一个病人是担心他自己不能付钱给他的裁缝,而这个裁缝的病因却是因为担心那个人不能付钱给他的。

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(易动感情的)”. 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(原谅) 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(折叠) 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.
根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。
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. 选C。根据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. 可知作者当时还是个小孩子,故选C。
2. 选A。由But she lived “on the surface ”. 和全文内容可知,作者的母亲表面上很冷漠,但心里充满了对作者的爱,正确答案是A。
3. 选B。从I was “too emotional”. But she lived “on the surface”. 可知此词是指两人之间不同的看法和观点,应选B。
4. 选D。根据…a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. 可知应选D。
5. 选C。文章的开头I‟ve loved my mother‟s desk…以及后面的Now the present of her desk told, as she‟d never been able to…可知作者是托物思人,以表达自己对母亲的怀念之情,所以最佳标题应是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(青霉素)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%.

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. -------
这两段短文选自上外教出版社出版的《大学英语精读》第二册第七课《全靠运气》。
文中讲到作者某夜在住所附近遇到持枪歹徒,大声呼救,而邻居们却装聋作哑。待作者侥幸逃脱,歹徒亦逃去无踪后,邻居们才装模作样出来“帮忙”。
第一段中的“The houses were --- closed,” 是事实,而“The houses were cold, --- unfriendly,” 是作者的观点。第二段的第一句“The neighbors who had not opened their doors to us came out with baseball bats---”是事实,而“In a group they were very brave.”是作者的观点。还有,第二段的“--- someone said to someone else that the noodles were getting cold,” 也是事实,而第三段的“I was happy to see them go.”是作者的观点。当然,这里指出的都是作者直白的观点,而作者隐含的观点是:邻居们既懦弱、自私、和冷漠,又十分虚伪。
3.1.4 进行推论(Making Inferences)
在理解阅读材料的主旨大意及抓住其重要细节时,还需具备获得文章或句子所表达的隐含信息的能力,对所读内容进行一定的引申和推理。往往可以从作者带有感情色彩的语气、措辞等文体特征推断出作者的观点、态度、写作目的、文章风格和基调。
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(专利)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
本文简略地记叙了爱因斯坦获得学术成就和声望的经历。尽管短文没有直接陈述作者对爱因斯坦的评论,但从某些记叙的措辞中仍可窥见作者对爱因斯坦的称颂,如Worldwide fame burst upon---(---声震全球),--- so brilliant--- that---(---才华横溢---以致)等。由此可知,答案应为D),作者“高度评价爱因斯坦”。其余三项均不合作者的态度。
3.1.5 作结论(Drawing Conclusions)
要根据上下文的逻辑关系,有理有据地推断结论。结论应基于文章中的事实和证据,
而不是基于读者自己的观点和喜好。

双语阅读:我的世界观——爱因斯坦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
我的世界观
阿尔伯特•爱因斯坦
我们这些总有一死的人的命运多么奇特!我们每个人在这个世界上都只作一个短暂的逗留;目的何在,却无从知道,尽管有时自以为对此若有所感。但是,不必深思,只要从日常生活就可以明白:人是为别人而生存的──首先是为那样一些人,我们的幸福全部依赖于他们的喜悦和健康;其次是为许多我们所不认识的人,他们的命运通过同情的纽带同我们密切结合在一起。我每天上百次的提醒自己:我的精神生活和物质生活都是以别人(包括生者和死者)的劳动为基础的,我必须尽力以同样的分量来报偿我所领受了的和至今还在领受着的东西。我强烈地向往着俭朴的生活。并且时常发觉自己占用了同胞的过多劳动而难以忍受。我认为阶级的区分是不合理的,它最后所凭借的是以暴力为根据。我也相信,简单淳朴的生活,无论在身体上还是在精神上,对每个人都是有益的。
我完全不相信人类会有那种在哲学意义上的自由。每一个人的行为不仅受着外界的强制,而且要适应内在的必然。叔本华说:“人虽然能够做他所想做的,但不能要他所想要的。”这句格言从我青年时代起就给了我真正的启示;在我自己和别人的生活面临困难的时候,它总是使我们得到安慰,并且是宽容的持续不断的源泉。这种体会可以宽大为怀地减轻那种容易使人气馁的责任感,也可以防止我们过于严肃地对待自己和别人;它导致一种特别给幽默以应有地位的人生观。
要追究一个人自己或一切生物生存的意义或目的,从客观的观点看来,我总觉得是愚蠢可笑的。可是每个人都有一些理想,这些理想决定着他的努力和判断的方向。就在这个意义上,我从来不把安逸和享乐看作生活目的本身──我把这种伦理基础叫做猪栏的理想。照亮我的道路,是善、美和真。要是没有志同道合者之间的亲切感情,要不是全神贯注于客观世界──那个在艺术和科学工作领域里永远达不到的对象,那么在我看来,生活就会是空虚的。我总觉得,人们所努力追求的庸俗目标──财产、虚荣、奢侈的生活──都是可鄙的。
我有强烈的社会正义感和社会责任感,但我又明显地缺乏与别人和社会直接接触的要求,这两者总是形成古怪的对照。我实在是一个“孤独的旅客”,我未曾全心全意地属于我的国家、我的家庭、我的朋友,甚至我最为接近的亲人;在所有这些关系面前,我总是感觉到一定距离而且需要保持孤独──而这种感受正与年俱增。人们会清楚地发觉,同别人的相互了解和协调一致是有限度的,但这不值得惋惜。无疑,这样的人在某种程度上会失去他的天真无邪和无忧无虑的心境;但另一方面,他却能够在很大程度上不为别人的意见、习惯和判断所左右,并且能够避免那种把他的内心平衡建立在这样一些不可靠的基础之上的诱惑。
我的政治理想是民主政体。让每一个人都作为个人而受到尊重,而不让任何人成为被崇拜的偶像。我自己一直受到同代人的过分的赞扬和尊敬,这不是由于我自己的过错,也不是由于我自己的功劳,而实在是一种命运的嘲弄。其原因大概在于人们有一种愿望,想理解我以自已微薄的绵力,通过不断的斗争所获得的少数几个观念,而这种愿望有很多人却未能实现。我完全明白,一个组织要实现它的目的,就必须有一个人去思考,去指挥、并且全面担负起责任来。但是被领导的人不应当受到强迫,他们必须能够选择自己的领袖。在我看来,强迫的专制制度很快就会腐化堕落。因为暴力所招引来的总是一些品德低劣的人,而且我相信,天才的暴君总是由无赖来继承的,这是一条千古不易的规律。就是由于这个缘故,我总强烈地反对今天在意大利和俄国所见到的那种制度。像欧洲今天所存在的情况,已使得民主形式受到怀疑,这不能归咎于民主原则本身,而是由于 *** 的不稳定和选举制度中与个人无关的特征。我相信美国在这方面已经找到了正确的道路。他们选出了一个任期足够长的总统,他有充分的权力来真正履行他的职责。另一方面,在德国政治制度中,为我所看重的是它为救济患病或贫困的人作出了可贵的广泛的规定。在人生的丰富多彩的表演中,我觉得真正可贵的,不是政治上的国家,而是有创造性的、有感情的个人,是人格;只有个人才能创造出高尚的和卓越的东西,而群众本身在思想上总是迟钝的,在感觉上也总是迟钝的。
讲到这里,我想起了群众生活中最坏的一种表现,那就是使我厌恶的军事制度。一个人能够洋洋得意的随着军乐队在四列纵队里行进,单凭这一点就足以使我对他鄙夷不屑。他所以长了一个大脑,只是出于误会;光是骨髓就可满足他的全部需要了。文明的这种罪恶的渊薮,应当尽快加以消灭。任人支配的英雄主义、冷酷无情的暴行,以及在爱国主义名义下的一切可恶的胡闹,所有这些都使我深恶痛绝!在我看来,战争是多么卑鄙、下流!我宁愿被千刀万剐,也不愿参与这种可憎的勾当。尽管如此,我对人类的评价还是十分高的,我相信,要是人民的健康感情没有遭到那些通过学校和报纸而起作用的商业利益和政治利益的蓄意败坏,那么战争这个妖魔早就该绝迹了。
我们所能有的最美好的经验是奥秘的经验。它是坚守在真正艺术和真正科学发源地上的基本感情。谁要体验不到它,谁要是不再有好奇心,也不再有惊讶的感觉,谁就无异于行尸走肉,他的眼睛便是模糊不清的。就是这样奥秘的经验──虽然掺杂着恐惧──产生了宗教。我们认识到有某种为我们所不能洞察的东西存在,感觉到那种只能以其最原始的形式接近我们的心灵的最深奥的理性和最灿烂的美──正是这种认识和这种情感构成了真正的宗教感情;在这个意义上,而且也只是在这个意义上,我才是一个具有深挚的宗教感情的人。我无法想象存在这样一个上帝,它会对自己的创造物加以赏罚,会具有我们在自己身上所体验到的那种意志。我不能也不愿去想象一个人在肉体死亡以后还会继续活着;让那些脆弱的灵魂,由于恐惧或者由于可笑的唯我论,去拿这种思想当宝贝吧!我自己只求满足于生命永恒的奥秘,满足于觉察现存世界的神奇结构,窥见它的一鳞半爪,并且以诚挚的努力去领悟在自然界中显示出来的那个理性的一部分,倘若真能如此,即使只领悟其极小的一部分,我也就心满意足了。
