文字带来的厚重史诗感！像感悟电影一样，感受《流萤集》里的那些人间真实···

When peace is active sweeping its dirt,

it is storm.

当和平

着手清扫身上的灰尘，

风暴便会来临。

•

The tyrant claims freedom to kill freedom

and yet to keep it for himself.

暴君要求随意扼杀自由的权力，

却又将自由留给自己。

•

The judge thinks that he is just when he compares

the oil of another's lamp

with the light of his own.

裁判者将他人的灯油

与自己的灯光相比，

自以为公平合理。

•

The world knows that the few

are more than the many.

世界知道，

稀少胜过众多。

•

God seeks comrades and claims love,

the Devil seeks slaves and claims obedience.

神明寻找同道，希求的是爱慕；

魔鬼寻找奴隶，要求的是臣服。

•

The obsequious brush curtails truth

in deference to the canvas which is narrow.

谄媚的画笔缩减真理的篇幅，

为的是将就狭窄的画布。

•

To justify their own spilling of ink

they spell the day as night.

为了让自己泼洒的墨水有所凭借，

他们把白天写成了黑夜。

•

Profit smiles on goodness

when the good is profitable.

当义带来利好，

利便对义微笑。

•

The right to possess boasts foolishly

of its right to enjoy.

占有的权利

总是愚蠢地夸说

享受的权利。

•

Emancipation from the bondage of the soil

is no freedom for the tree.

从土地的束缚中获得解救，

绝不意味着树木的自由。
