1. 只有在深夜人静时，悉达多的羞愧和厌恶才袭上心头。

1. It was only at night, when the world was quiet, that Siddhartha felt the wave of shame and disgust wash over him.

2. 思维和感官同时美好之物，在这两者的背后隐藏着终极的意义，人应同样专心地倾听并联系两者，从中聆听最深处的神秘之音，而不应鄙弃或高估任何一方。

2. Things that are both beautiful in thought and sense, behind which lies the ultimate meaning, should be equally attentively listened to and connected with, from which one should listen to the deepest mystical voice, without despising or overestimating either.

3. 河水懂得一切，人可以从它那儿学会一切。你已然学会应当勉力走向低处，沉沦并寻求那最深的底层。

3. The river knows everything; man can learn everything from it. You have already learned that one should strive to descend, sink, and seek the deepest bottom.

4. 我通过我的灵魂与**得知，堕落乃为必需。我必然经历贪欲，我必然去追逐财富，体验恶心，陷于绝望的深渊。学会热爱这个世界，不再以某种欲愿与臆想出来的世界、某种虚伪的完善的幻想来与之比拟。学会接受这个世界的本来面目，热爱它，以归属于它而心存欣喜。

4. Through my soul, I have come to know that decadence is necessary. I must experience desire, I must chase after wealth, taste disgust, and sink into the abyss of despair. Learn to love this world, no longer comparing it to some desired or imagined world, or to some false perfect fantasy. Learn to accept the true nature of this world, to love it, and to be joyful in belonging to it.

5. 他看到的不再是他朋友悉达多的脸庞，他仿佛看到许许多多其他的形象，一个长长的系列，一条不息的形象之流百种，千种，万种，无数的形象不断生生灭灭然而又似乎同时并存；所有这些形象一刻不停地变幻和更新，而它们又都复归于悉达多。他看见一条鱼的形象，一条眼睛已黯淡无光的垂死的鱼，正及其痛苦地大张着嘴；他看见一张新生婴儿的脸庞，面色赤红，满是皱纹，正张口欲哭。

5. What he saw was no longer the face of his friend Siddhartha; instead, he seemed to see countless other images, a long series, a ceaseless flow of images in a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, countless forms, continuously being born and extinguished yet seemingly coexisting simultaneously. All these images were changing and updating without pause, and they all reverted back to Siddhartha. He saw the image of a fish, a fish whose eyes had dimmed with death, opening its mouth in great pain; he saw the face of a newborn baby, with a reddish complexion and full of wrinkles, opening its mouth as if to cry.

6. 侨文达，我感觉爱是世上最重要的。研究这个世界，解释它或是鄙弃它，对于大思想家或许很重要；但我以为唯一重要的就是去爱这个世界，而不是去鄙弃它。我们不应彼此仇视，而应以爱、赞美与尊重来善待世界，善待我们自身以及一切生命。

6. Qiaowen Da, I feel that love is the most important thing in the world. Studying this world, explaining it, or despising it may be important for great thinkers; but I believe that the only thing that matters is to love this world, not to despise it. We should not hate each other, but should treat the world, ourselves, and all life with love, admiration, and respect.

7. “一个探求之人，”悉达多道，“往往只关注探求的事物。他一无所获，一无所纳。因为他一心想着探求，被目的左右。探求意味着拥有目标。而发现则意味自由、敞开、全无目的。可敬的人，你或许确实是位探索者。但你却因努力追求目标，而错过了些眼前事物。”

7. "A seeker," said Siddhartha, "often focuses solely on the object of his seeking. He gains nothing, absorbs nothing. For he is absorbed in the pursuit, driven by the goal. Seeking means having a target. But discovery means freedom, openness, and being aimless. Esteemed one, you may indeed be a seeker. But you have missed some things in your vicinity by trying so hard to pursue your goal."

8. 因此，我认为一切的存在皆为至善--无论是死与生，无论罪孽与虔诚，无论智慧或是蠢行，一切皆是必然，一切只需我的欣赏赞同，一切只需我的理解与爱心。。。学会热爱这个世界，不再以某种欲愿与臆想出来的世界、某种虚构的完善的幻象来与之比拟；学会接受这个世界的本来面目，热爱它，以归属于它而心存欣喜。

8. Therefore, I believe that everything that exists is of the utmost good – whether it be death or life, sin or piety, wisdom or folly, all is necessary, all requires only my appreciation and approval, all requires only my understanding and love.... Learn to love this world, no longer comparing it to some desired or imagined world, to some fictional perfect illusion; learn to accept the world as it is, love it, and take joy in belonging to it.

9. 当悉达多在世俗生活中爱恨交加、不能自拔之时，乔文达一直循规蹈矩，恪守宗教人士的规范，认真履行着职责。

9. While Siddhartha was entangled in the vicissitudes of secular life, torn between love and hate and unable to extricate himself, Jovinda strictly adhered to the norms of a religious person, diligently fulfilling his duties.

10. 在我看来，在这位伟大的导师心中，爱事物胜于爱言辞。他的作为和生命重于他的法义。他的仪态重于言论。我认为他的伟大不在他的法义中、思想中，而在他的生命中。

10. In my view, in the heart of this great mentor, love for things outweighs love for words. His actions and life are more important to him than his teachings. His demeanor is more significant than his words. I believe his greatness does not lie in his teachings or thoughts, but in his life.

11. 我很喜欢这本书，喜欢黑塞与世和自省的态度，希望你也能喜欢。不用谢

11. I really like this book, and I appreciate Hesse's world view and introspective attitude. I hope you do too. No need to thank me.

12. 他想起了父亲、乔文达和佛陀，不知道自己该何去何从？

12. He remembered his father, Jovinda, and the Buddha, and he was unsure of where to go from there?

13. 他开始寻欢作乐、迷恋赌博、独断专行，性格也变得焦躁、涣散、自私。

13. He began to indulge in pleasure, become addicted to gambling, act autocratically, and his personality also became restless, disorganized, and selfish.

14. 没有名师带路的过程是艰辛的，也是充满诱惑的。

14. The process without a master's guidance is arduous, yet also filled with temptation.

15. 二人在河边茅舍里共眠，就像小时候一样，各自述说着自己的故事，不同的是乔文达还是不能够理解悉达多的所为。

15. The two shared a sleep in the thatched cottage by the river, just as they did in their childhood, each narrating their own stories. The difference was that Jowendra still could not understand Siddhartha's actions.

16. 他们的路都走得曲折，但也正因为曲折才有了更深的领悟。

16. Their paths have all been winding, but it is precisely because they are winding that they have gained deeper insights.

17. 一个是学院派，走了考学的路，从小学中学到大学甚至研究生，有名师带路，最后功成名就，受到了人们的喜欢尊重；

17. One is an academic, who followed the path of taking exams. From elementary school to middle school, university, and even to postgraduate studies, with the guidance of a master, he eventually achieved success and recognition, and was favored and respected by people.

18. 悉达多与乔文达这一对发小，从相互追随到分道扬镳，再到释怀拥抱，虽然道路不同，但都一直执着前行，都经历了思索、怀疑、论证的过程。

18. Siddhartha and Jovinda, this pair of childhood friends, have gone from following each other to parting ways, and then to embracing each other with a sense of release. Although their paths have been different, they have both remained steadfast in their progress, and have all experienced the process of contemplation, doubt, and argumentation.

19. 不藐视世界，不憎恶世界和自己，怀抱爱、惊叹和敬畏，注视一切存在之物和我自己。 ”

19. Do not disdain the world, do not hate the world and myself, but hold love, admiration, and awe, and gaze upon all things that exist and myself.

20. 悉达多在这里快速成长，他经历了与爱人相遇的喜悦，后又失去爱人的痛苦；还经历了与儿子相处的天伦之乐，后又被抛弃的纠结。

20. Siddhartha grew rapidly here, experiencing the joy of meeting his loved one and subsequently the pain of losing them; he also enjoyed the familial bliss of spending time with his son, only to be abandoned in confusion afterward.

21. 悉达多先找到了自我，再放下自我；先接触了理论，再放弃了理论；先投身于俗世，再脱离俗世，直至成功悟道。

21. Siddhartha first found himself and then let go of himself; first engaged with theory and then abandoned it; first immersed himself in the mundane world and then detached from it, until he successfully realized the path to enlightenment.

22. 少年时的悉达多强壮英俊、聪慧礼貌，和乔文达是发小。

22. As a youth, Siddhartha was strong, handsome, intelligent, and polite, and he was a childhood friend of Jovinda.

23. 世界并非不完善，或者正在沿着通向完善的漫漫长路缓缓发展。不，世界在每一瞬间都是完美的：所有的罪孽都已然领受神恩，所有孩童都是潜在的老人，所有婴儿都已打上死亡的印记，而所有的垂死者必获永恒的生命。一个人不可能认清另一个人已然修到何等境界。佛存在于劫匪与赌徒身上，而劫匪亦存在于婆罗门身上。一切的存在皆为至善——无论是死与生，无论罪孽与虔诚，无论智慧或是蠢行，一切皆是必然，一切只需我的欣然赞同，一切只需我的理解与爱心；因而万物于我皆为圆满，世上无物可侵害于我。我通过我的灵魂与肉体得知，我之堕落乃为必需，我必然经历贪欲，我必然去追逐财富，体验恶心，陷于绝望的深渊，并由此学会去抵御它们；学会热爱这个世界，不再以某种欲望与臆想出来的世界、某种虚构的完善的幻象来与之比拟；学会接受这个世界的本来面目，热爱它，以归属于它而心存欣喜。

23. The world is not imperfect, nor is it slowly developing along a long path to perfection. No, the world is perfect at every moment: all sins have already received divine grace, all children are potential elders, all infants have already been marked with death, and all the dying will receive eternal life. One cannot recognize the extent to which another has reached. Buddha exists in robbers and gamblers, and robbers also exist in Brahmins. All existence is the highest good—whether death or life, whether sin or piety, whether wisdom or folly, all is inevitable, all requires only my willing assent, all requires only my understanding and love; therefore, all things are complete to me, and nothing in the world can harm me. I know through my soul and body that my fall is necessary, that I must experience desire, that I must chase wealth, experience nausea, sink into the abyss of despair, and thereby learn to resist them; learn to love this world, no longer comparing it to some desired world, some imaginary perfect illusion; learn to accept this world as it is, love it, and be joyful in belonging to it.

24. 而世界自身则遍于我之内外，从不沦于片面。从未有一人或一事纯属轮回或者纯属涅槃，从未有一人完全是圣贤或是罪人。世界之所以表面如此是因为我们有一种幻觉，即认为时间是某种真实之物。时间并无实体，侨文达，我曾反复悟到这一点。而如果时间并非真实，那么现世与永恒，痛苦与极乐，善与恶之间的所谓分界线也只是一种幻象。

24. Yet the world itself is all-encompassing, within and without me, never confined to one-sidedness. There has never been a person or a thing that is purely cyclic or purely nirvanic, nor has there been anyone who is entirely virtuous or entirely sinful. The apparent division in the world is due to a delusion that we perceive time as something real. Time has no substance, and I have repeatedly realized this, Qiaowenda. If time is not real, then the so-called boundaries between the present and eternity, between suffering and bliss, between good and evil, are merely an illusion.

25. 对于一个真正的求道者，如果他诚心期望得到觉悟，他就不能接受任何教义。然而一个得道者却可以认可任何道路和任何目标，没有任何东西能使他与千千万万住于永恒、通于神明的圣贤们分离开来。

25. For a true seeker of the path, if he sincerely expects to attain enlightenment, he cannot accept any doctrine. However, a realized being can acknowledge any path and any goal, nothing can separate him from the countless sages who dwell in eternity and are in communion with the divine.

26. 我理解你，但那恰恰是世尊所说的虚妄之相。他宣讲宽容、克己、慈悲、忍让却没有爱。他禁止我们缠缚于尘俗之爱。

26. I understand you, but that is exactly the illusion that the Honored Buddha spoke of. He preached tolerance, self-restraint, compassion, and forbearance, but without love. He prohibited us from being entangled in worldly love.

27. 他喜欢那种焦虑的感受，那种一场赌局中大笔赌金去向悬而未定时所感到的沉重而可怕的焦虑。他喜欢那种感觉并不断寻求其重复、强化和刺激，因为只有在这种感觉中，他才会在自己那种厌腻无味、无聊透顶的生存状态下体验到某种快乐、某种刺激以及某种生存的活力。

27. He enjoys the feeling of anxiety, the heavy and terrifying anxiety felt when the fate of a large sum of money in a betting game hangs in the balance. He likes this feeling and constantly seeks its repetition, reinforcement, and stimulation, because only in this feeling does he experience some joy, some excitement, and some vitality of existence in his own tedious and utterly boring state of existence.

28. 但如书中成为摆渡人的悉达多所述，智慧无法分享，它可以被发现，被体验。

28. But as the text states, as the Sita who becomes a ferryman, wisdom cannot be shared; it can be discovered and experienced.

29. 《悉达多》故事的结尾处，当悉达多再次面对重逢的老友，说出了这句话后，两位老人都沉默了，一生的风风雨雨如影若现。

29. At the end of the story of Siddhartha, when Siddhartha confronts his old friend after their reunion and utters this phrase, both elders fell silent, as the vicissitudes of a lifetime appeared before them like shadows.

30. 然而他却仍然羡慕世人，他越是变得与世人相似，他就愈加羡慕他们。他尤其羡慕常人具足而他所缺少的那一点：世人对自己的生活所持的那种重大感，他们深刻的欢乐与忧伤，以及那种永恒推动他们去爱的力量所带给他们的焦虑而甜美的幸福。

30. However, he still envies the world. The more he becomes like the world, the more he envies it. He especially envies that one thing that he lacks while the common people possess it: the profound sense of importance that people hold for their own lives, their deep joy and sorrow, and the anxious yet sweet happiness that the eternal power that constantly drives them to love brings them.

31. 他陶醉在了五彩的世俗世界，渐渐迷失了自我。

31. He was captivated by the colorful secular world and gradually lost himself.

32. 当乔文达吻向悉达多时，仿佛时间定格，他看见了佛陀的微笑。

32. When Jivanda kissed Siddhartha, it seemed as if time stood still, and he saw the Buddha's smile.

33. 一种认知逐渐在悉达多头脑中壮大，成熟。究竟什么是智慧？什么是他的目标？不过是在生命中的每个瞬间，能圆融统一地思考，能感受并融入这种统一的灵魂的准备，一种能力，一种秘密的艺术。这种认知在悉达多头脑中繁盛，又反映在瓦稣迪瓦苍老的童颜上：和谐、喜悦、统一，对永恒圆融世界的学识。

33. A cognition gradually grew and matured in Siddhartha's mind. What is wisdom? What is his goal? It is simply the ability to think harmoniously and integrally at every moment of life, to feel and merge with this unified soul, a capability, a secret art. This cognition thrived in Siddhartha's mind and was reflected on Vasudeva's aged but youthful face: harmony, joy, unity, the knowledge of the ever-integrated world.

34. 时间并不真实存在，乔文达，我时有感悟。而如果时间并非实在，世界与永恒、苦难与极乐、善与恶的界限亦皆为幻象。

34. Time does not truly exist, Jivanda, and I often have insights into this. And if time is not real, then the boundaries between the world and eternity, suffering and bliss, and good and evil are all illusions as well.

35. 通过我的灵魂与肉体得知，我之堕落乃为必需，我必然经历贪欲，我必然去追逐财富，体验恶心，陷于绝望的深渊，并由此学会去抵御它们；学会热爱这个世界，不再以某种欲愿与臆想出来的世界、某种虚构的完善的幻象来与之比拟；学会接受这个世界的本来面目，热爱它，以归属于它而心存欣喜。

35. Through my soul and body, I know that my fall is necessary, that I must experience desire, that I must chase wealth, taste disgust, sink into the abyss of despair, and thereby learn to resist them; to learn to love this world, no longer comparing it to some desired and imagined world, some fictional perfect illusion; to learn to accept the true face of this world, to love it, and to be joyful in belonging to it.

36. 份思考，这份思考不是书本中写下的，而是鲜活的人间。

36. A batch of thoughts, which are not written in books, but in the vivid human world.

37. 知识可以传授，但智慧不能。人们可以寻见智慧，在生命中体现出智慧，以智慧自强，以智慧来创造奇迹，但人们不可能去传授智慧。我年少时就有过这种疑问，正是我的怀疑驱使我远离教师们。我还有过一种思想，侨文达，你又会认为那是玩笑或只是一种愚蠢的念头，就是说，每一真理的反面也同样真实。比如说，只有片面的真理才能形诸于言辞；事实上，以语言表达或思维的一切都只能是片面的，只是半个真理而已，它们都缺乏完备。

37. Knowledge can be imparted, but wisdom cannot. People can seek wisdom, manifest wisdom in their lives, strengthen themselves with wisdom, and create miracles with wisdom, but they cannot impart wisdom. I had this doubt when I was young, and it was my suspicion that drove me away from teachers. I also had another thought, which you might consider a joke or just a foolish notion, that is, the opposite of every truth is also true. For example, only a one-sided truth can be expressed in words; in fact, everything expressed in language or thought can only be one-sided, just half the truth, and they all lack completeness.

38. 我领悟到这个道理后，认出我的生活也是一条河。这条河用幻象，而非现实，隔开少年悉达多、成年悉达多和老年悉达多。悉达多的前世并非过去，死亡和重归梵天亦并非未来。没有过去，没有未来。一切都是本质和当下。

38. After understanding this truth, I recognized that my own life is also a river. This river divides the young Siddhartha, the adult Siddhartha, and the old Siddhartha not with illusions, but with reality. Siddhartha's past lives are not in the past, nor is death and the return to Brahman in the future. There is no past, no future. Everything is essence and the present.

39. 两位老人久久沉默，乔文达鞠躬道别：“感谢你说出你的想法，一些奇特的想法我不能马上领悟，顺其自然，祝你平安！我们老了，恐怕再难相见。亲爱的，我认为你已寻得安宁。而我尚未收获。”

39. The two elderly individuals remained silent for a long time. Jowenda bowed farewell and said, "Thank you for sharing your thoughts, some of which are so peculiar that I can't grasp them immediately. Go with the flow, and wish you peace! We are old now, and it may be difficult for us to meet again. Darling, I believe you have found tranquility. But for me, I have yet to reap."

40. 世界并非不圆满。世界并非徐缓地行进在通向圆满之路：不，世间的每一瞬间皆为圆满。一切罪孽都承载宽赦，所有孩童身上都栖息老人，所有新生儿身上都栖息亡者，所有将死之人都孕育永恒的生命。没人能看清他者的道路。强盗和赌徒的路或许通向佛陀，婆罗门的路或许通往强盗。在最深的禅定中存在这种可能：时间被终结，人视过往、当下和未来的生活为同时。这时，一切皆为善、圆满和梵天。因此在我看来，世间存在的一切皆好。在我看来，死如同生，罪孽犹如神圣，聪明等同愚蠢。一切皆有定数，一切只需我的赞赏、顺从和爱的默许。这样于我有益，只会促进我，从不伤害我。我听便灵魂与肉体的安排，去经历罪孽，追逐肉欲和财富，去贪慕虚荣，以陷入最羞耻的绝望，以学会放弃挣扎，学会热爱世界。我不再将这个世界与我所期待的，塑造的圆满世界比照，而是接受这个世界，爱它，属于它。

40. The world is not imperfect. The world does not slowly progress towards perfection; no, every moment in the world is perfect. All sins carry forgiveness, every child harbors an elder, every newborn harbors the deceased, and every dying person孕育 eternal life. No one can see another's path. The path of robbers and gamblers might lead to the Buddha, and the path of Brahmins might lead to robbers. In the deepest meditation, such possibilities exist: time is terminated, and people view past, present, and future lives as simultaneous. At this time, everything is good, perfect, and divine. Therefore, in my view, everything in the world is good. In my view, death is like life, sin is like the sacred, and wisdom is like foolishness. Everything has its destiny, and everything only needs my approval, submission, and silent consent of love. This is beneficial to me, it only promotes me, and never harms me. I let my soul and body arrange, to experience sin, to pursue fleshly desires and wealth, to yearn for vanity, to sink into the most shameful despair, to learn to give up struggle, to learn to love the world. I no longer compare this world with the perfect world I long for, nor the world I have shaped, but accept this world, love it, and belong to it.

41. 过去之心不可得，未来之心不可得。所有的悲伤，所有的自我折磨和恐惧不都是存在于时间之中吗？一旦征服并除灭了时间，不就可以征服世上所有的苦难与邪恶吗？

41. The heart of the past cannot be obtained, nor can the heart of the future. Are not all sorrows, all self-torture and fear contained within time? Once time is conquered and eliminated, is it not possible to conquer all suffering and evil in the world?

42. 我的生活确实古怪，他想，走过了奇怪的弯路。少年时，我只知道敬神和祭祀。青年时，我只知道苦行、思考和潜行，探索婆罗门，崇拜阿特曼之中的永恒。作为青年人，我效仿那些忏悔者，生活在森林里，忍受酷暑与严寒，学会挨饿，教自己的身体麻木。接着，那位活佛的教诲又奇妙地启迪了我，我感到关于世界统一性的认识又在我体内犹如自身的血液一样循环不已。可是，后来我又不得不离开了活佛以及他那伟大的真知。

42. "My life has indeed been strange," he thought, having taken strange detours. In my youth, I only knew about reverence for the gods and sacrifices. In my youth, I only knew about penance, contemplation, and stealth, exploring the Brahmins and worshipping the eternal within the Atman. As a youth, I imitated those penitents, living in the forest, enduring both extreme heat and cold, learning to starve, and numbing my body. Then, the teachings of that living Buddha wonderfully illuminated me, and I felt that the understanding of the unity of the world flowed within me like my own blood. But later, I had to leave the living Buddha and his great wisdom."

43. 智慧是无法表达的。一个智者谋略表达的智慧，听起来却总像是愚蠢。

43. Wisdom cannot be expressed. The wisdom expressed by a wise person often sounds like foolishness.

44. ldquo;你想要从教义和教师那里学到，而尽管他们教给你许多，却无法传授与你的那件事到底是什么呢？他接着想：那就是自我，我希望学到有关自我的意义与本质。过去我一直想要摆脱自我并征服自我，然而我从未能够征服自我，我只是在欺骗它，逃离它，躲避它。的确，世上没有任何东西能够如自我那样占据我全部的思绪。这是一个难解之谜：我存在，而且我是惟一的不同于任何其他人的独立个体。

44. "What is that thing you want to learn from doctrine and teachers, which they teach you many things, yet they cannot impart to you? He then thought: That is the self, and I want to learn about the meaning and essence of the self. In the past, I have always wanted to摆脱 self and conquer self, yet I have never been able to conquer the self; I have only deceived it, fled from it, and dodged it. Indeed, there is nothing in the world that can occupy my entire thoughts as much as the self. This is an enigmatic mystery: I exist, and I am the only independent individual different from anyone else."

45. 真理的反面也同样真实。只有片面的真理才能形诸于言辞；事实上，以语言表达或思维的一切都只能是片面的……当佛陀世尊宣讲关于世界的教义，他不得不把世界分为轮回与涅槃，虚幻与真如，痛苦和救赎。……而世界自身则遍于我之内外，从不沦于片面。从未有一人或一事纯属轮回或者纯属涅槃，从未有一人完全是圣贤或是罪人。世界之所以表面如此是因为我们有一种幻觉，即认为时间是某种真实之物。时间并无实体。

45. The opposite of truth is also true. Only a partial truth can be expressed in words; in fact, everything expressed in language or thought can only be partial... When the Buddha Shakyamuni preached the dharma about the world, he had to divide it into samsara and nirvana, illusion and reality, suffering and redemption... And the world itself permeates within and without me, never falling into partiality. No one or thing is purely samsara or purely nirvana, no one is completely a sage or a sinner. The reason why the world appears to be so is because we have a delusion, that time is something real. Time has no substance.

46. 一切未受尽的苦，未获得的救赎都会重来。苦难从未改变。

46. All the unrelieved suffering, the unattained redemption will be repeated. Suffering has never changed.

47. 悉达多认识了一位名妓，一见钟情，为了讨得美人的欢心，又拜了商人做老师，学习经商，慢慢地越来越有钱。

47. Siddhartha met a famous courtesan and fell in love at first sight. In order to win the beauty's favor, he took a merchant as his teacher to learn about business, and gradually, he became wealthier.

48. 像一层纱幕，像一层薄雾，一种心灵的厌倦在悉达多身上沉积下来--一天又一天地更加浓厚，一月又一月地更加灰暗，一年又一年地更加沉重。正如一件新衣服随着时间的推移变得破旧，失去了往日鲜艳的颜色，变得肮脏起皱，缝边已经绽开，而到处都出现了磨损而易破的地方。

48. Like a veil, like a thin mist, a sense of weariness of the soul settled on Siddhartha -- day by day it grew thicker, month by month it grew darker, and year by year it grew heavier. Just as a new garment becomes worn over time, losing its former bright colors, becoming dirty and creased, with the seams beginning to split and everywhere showing signs of wear and vulnerability.

49. 也许“纸上得来终觉浅，绝知此事要躬行才”是必走之路！

49. Perhaps "What is gained from books is shallow, and one must experience things themselves to truly understand" is the inevitable path to follow!

50. 我深信那句话：人对自己才是最残忍的。但是，人只应服从自己内心的声音，不屈从任何外力的驱使，并等待觉醒那一刻的到来，这才是善的和必要的行为，其他的一切均毫无意义。

50. I deeply believe in that saying: "A person is the most cruel to themselves." However, one should only obey the voice within, not submit to the urging of any external force, and wait for the moment of awakening to come. This is the good and necessary action; everything else is meaningless.

51. 多年未见，面对乔文达的惊奇，悉达多亲切地笑着说：“我是船夫”。

51. After many years, facing the surprise of Jowunda, Siddhartha warmly smiled and said, "I am the boatman."

52. 他不再去分辨不同的音声诸如愉悦之声与哀泣之声，童稚之声与雄浑之声；所有私募这的哀叹，智者的欢笑，愤怒者的叫喊，濒死者的**都融入彼此，互为纠结与交织，以千万种方式纠缠在一起，而所有的音声，所有的目标，所有的渴望，所有的善与恶，哀伤与欢乐，所有这一切共同构成了统一的世界，所有这一切共同交融成万物奔流不息的进程，所有这一切共同谱成了生命永恒的旋律。

52. He no longer distinguishes between different sounds such as joyful voices and wailing cries, youthful voices and deep voices; all the sighs of the私募, the laughter of the wise, the shouts of the angry, and the gasps of the dying all blend together, intertwined and entwined, in a myriad of ways, entangled with each other. All these sounds, all these goals, all these desires, all the good and evil, sadness and joy, all these together constitute a unified world, all these together blend into the ceaseless process of all things, and all these together compose the eternal melody of life.

53. 乔文达缺少了这一步，他缺少自我意识，只能跟随着别人，苦苦追寻，当放下自我后，领悟到了人生的真谛。

53. Jowinda lacked this step; he lacked self-awareness and could only follow others, struggling and searching. It was only after letting go of himself that he领悟ed the true meaning of life.

54. 意气风发的少年郎，常常自命不凡，认为自己是被命运选中的人。抛下过去，随了跌跌撞撞的步伐，找寻心中的声音，追逐名利，经历友情，品尝爱情。不同的是，悉达多一生追求的是生命的圆融统一，看似宏大，确是每个人无法回避的问题。

54. The energetic young man often considers himself exceptional, believing he is chosen by fate. Casting off the past, he follows a halting pace, seeking the voice in his heart, pursuing fame and wealth, experiencing friendship, and tasting love. The difference is that Siddhartha pursued throughout his life was the harmony and unity of life, which seems grandiose but is indeed a question that everyone cannot avoid.

55. 世界并非不完善, 或者正沿着通向完善的漫漫长路缓缓发展 不, 世界在每一瞬间都是完美的: 所有罪孽都已然领受神恩, 所有孩童都是潜在的老人, 所有婴儿都已打上死亡的印记, 而所有的垂死者必获永恒的生命 一个人不可能认清另一个人已然修到何种境界。

55. The world is not imperfect, nor is it slowly developing along a long road towards perfection. No, the world is perfect in every moment: all sins have already received divine grace, all children are potential elders, all infants have already been marked with the sign of death, and all the dying shall obtain eternal life. One cannot understand to what extent another person has already achieved spiritual enlightenment.

56. 每一位渡船的人，都留下了自己故事，给了悉达多

56. Every passenger of the ferry left behind their own story, giving to Siddhartha

57. 乔文达的脸上带着畏惧与渴望，他眼中写满痛楚，写满永恒的探求和永恒的失落。

57. Jovenada's face was marked with fear and longing, his eyes filled with pain, with eternal pursuit and eternal loss.

58. 乔文达选择了跟随佛陀深造，悉达多选择了世俗中打磨。

58. Jivanda chose to deepen his study under the Buddha, while Siddhartha chose to refine himself in the secular world.

59. “审视世界，解释世界或藐视世界，或许是思想家的事，我唯一的事，是爱这个世界。

59. "To examine the world, to interpret the world, or to disdain the world, may be the task of thinkers; my only task is to love this world."

60. 当一个人有所追寻时，他只会看到他所追寻之物。他之所以无所发现、无所获得是因为他只专注于他所追寻之物，因为他执迷于自己的目标。追寻意味着有了目标，而寻见则意味着自由、包容，摈弃一切目标。?>

60. When a person is in pursuit of something, they will only see what they are pursuing. The reason they do not discover or gain anything is because they are solely focused on what they are pursuing, as they are obsessed with their own goals. Pursuit means having a goal, while seeking means freedom and inclusiveness, discarding all goals.

61. 或许我想说，我爱石头、河水，爱所有我们可见并可以求教之物。我爱一块石头，乔文达，爱一棵树或一块树皮。这些是物，可爱之物。但我不爱言辞，学说于我毫无价值。它们没有力，没有柔，没有颜色，没有棱角，没有气味和味道。作为言辞，它一无所有。或许正是言辞阻碍你获得安宁。因为救赎与美德，轮回与涅槃也只是言辞。世上并无涅槃，涅槃只是个言辞。

61. Perhaps I would like to say that I love stones, rivers, and all that we can see and learn from. I love a stone, Jovinda, a tree, or a piece of bark. These are things, lovable things. But I do not love words; they have no value to me. They have no strength, no tenderness, no color, no sharpness, no scent, no taste. As words, they possess nothing. Perhaps it is the words that hinder you from finding peace. Because salvation and virtue, the cycle of rebirth and nirvana are all just words. There is no nirvana in the world; nirvana is just a word.

62. 我很像你，你也没有爱的能力，否则你怎么能把爱作为一种技艺来从事呢。可能我们这样的人都没有爱的能力。天真的人们能够爱，这是他们的秘密。

62. I am very much like you; you also don't have the ability to love, otherwise how could you treat love as a skill to pursue? Perhaps people like us don't have the ability to love. Innocent people can love; that is their secret.

63. 我无权去评判他人的生活，我只能为自己作出判断。意义与实在并非隐藏于事物的背后，而是寓于事物自身，寓于事物的一切现象。当一个人能够如此单纯，如此觉醒，如此专注于当下，毫无疑虑的走过这个世界，生命真是一件赏心乐事。人只应服从自己内心的声音，不屈从于任何外力的驱使，并等待觉醒那一刻的到来；这才是善的和必要的行为，其他的一切均毫无意义。

63. I have no right to judge others' lives; I can only make judgments for myself. Meaning and reality are not hidden behind things, but are inherent in the things themselves, in all their phenomena. When a person can be so simple, so awake, so focused on the present, and walk through this world without any doubts, life is truly a delightful thing. People should only obey the voice within themselves, not submit to any external force, and wait for the moment of awakening; this is the good and necessary behavior, and everything else is meaningless.

64. 黑塞的语言是充满诗性的，正如本书副题“一首印度的诗”。

64. Hesse's language is full of poetry, as indicated by the subtitle of this book, "A Poem of India."

65. 河水无处不在。无论在源头、河口、瀑布、船埠，还是在湍流中、大海里、山涧中。对于河水来说只有当下。既没有过去的影子，也没有未来的影子

65. The river flows everywhere. Whether at its source, estuary, waterfall, or ship dock, or in rapids, the sea, or mountain ravines. For the river, there is only the present. It has neither the shadow of the past nor the shadow of the future.

66. 亲身经历尘世待了解的一切是件好事，他想到，孩提时代的我就知道尘俗的享乐及财富为邪恶之物。我长久以来就知道这一点，但我只是刚刚才有体验。现在我不仅理智上，而且是以我的眼睛，我的心灵以及我的胃口深知其意。我懂得这一点真值得高兴。经历是你最好的老师。

66. It is a good thing to have firsthand experience of everything the world has to offer, he thought. Even as a child, I knew that the pleasures of the world and wealth were evil. I have known this for a long time, but it is only now that I have truly experienced it. Now, not only intellectually, but with my eyes, my heart, and my taste buds, I understand its meaning. I am truly glad to have learned this. Experience is your best teacher.

67. 在生活的不断磨砺中，他的心智慢慢成熟，终于悟到：知识可以分享，但智慧无法分享，但智慧可以被发现和体验，智慧令人安详。

67. In the relentless grind of life, his mind gradually matured, and he finally realized: knowledge can be shared, but wisdom cannot be shared, but wisdom can be discovered and experienced, and wisdom brings tranquility.

68. 愿你在读了悉达多的故事后，也能有所感悟，并开始体验属于自己的人生。

68. May you also gain some insights after reading the story of Siddhartha, and begin to experience the life that belongs to you.

69. “弯下腰！”悉达多轻声道，“过来弯下腰！再近些，近些！吻我的额头，乔文达！”

69. "Bend down!" Siddhartha whispered, "Come closer and bend down! Closer still! Kiss my brow, Javade!"

70. 他安详地爱上了纷纷扰扰的世界，释怀了所有不如意的过往，理解了父亲的刻板，接受了儿子的叛逆。

70. He calmly fell in love with the tumultuous world, let go of all the unsatisfactory past, understood his father's rigidity, and accepted his son's rebellion.

71. 中年时，他们有过几次偶遇，看着落魄的悉达多，乔文达无法理解少年偶像的选择。

71. In middle age, they had several encounters, watching the destitute Siddhartha, Jovinda could not understand the choice of the young idol.

72. 在极深禅定之中，人可以除灭时间并同时经历所有过去、现在与未来，于是一切皆善，一切完美，一切即梵。因此，我认为一切的存在皆为至善无论是死与生，无论罪孽与虔诚，无论智慧或是蠢行，一切皆是必然，一切只需我的欣然赞同，一切只需我的理解与爱心；因而万物于我皆为圆满，世上无物可侵害于我。

72. In the deepest state of meditation, a person can extinguish time and simultaneously experience all the past, present, and future. Thus, everything is good, everything is perfect, and everything is Brahman. Therefore, I believe that all existence is inherently good, whether it is death or life, whether it is sin or piety, whether it is wisdom or foolishness; everything is inevitable, and everything requires only my willing consent, only my understanding and love; thus, all things are complete to me, and nothing in the world can harm me.

73. 大多数人都像一片片落叶，在空中漂浮、翻滚、颤抖，最终无奈地委顿于地。但是有少数人恰如沿着既定轨道运动的星辰：无偿的命运之风吹不到他们，他们的内心有着既定的路程。

73. Most people are like individual leaves, floating, tumbling, trembling in the air, and eventually, helplessly, falling to the ground. However, there are a few individuals who are just like stars moving along a predetermined track: the wind of fate, which is free and unobstructed, cannot reach them, and their hearts have a predetermined journey.

74. 我无权去评判他人的生活，我只能为自己作出判断。 意义与实在并非隐藏于事物的背后，而是寓于事物自身，寓于事物的一切现象。 当一个人能够如此单纯，如此觉醒，如此专注于当下，毫无疑虑的走过这个世界，生命真是一件赏心乐事。 人只应服从自己内心的声音，不屈从于任何外力的驱使，并等待觉醒那一刻的到来；这才是善的和必要的行为，其他的一切均毫无意义。 写作虽美，莫如沉思；机智虽美，莫如能忍。

74. I have no right to judge others' lives; I can only make judgments for myself. Meaning and reality are not hidden behind things, but are inherent in things themselves, in all their phenomena. When a person can be so simple, so awakened, so focused on the present, and walk through this world without any doubt, life truly is a delightful joy. One should only obey the voice within oneself, not submit to the urging of any external force, and wait for the moment of awakening; this is the good and necessary behavior, and everything else is meaningless. Writing may be beautiful, but it is better to meditate; cleverness may be beautiful, but it is better to be able to endure.

75. 于是两位老人默默而听。那多种音声的河水之歌轻轻地回响。悉达多凝视着河水，流动的水面浮现出许多形象。他看到自己的父亲孤独地为失去爱子而哀痛；他也看到自己，孤独一人，无法摆脱对远方孩子的思念；他还看到自己的儿子，也是孤独一人，沿着燃烧的欲望之路急切前行。每个人都执着于自己的目标，每个人都为自己的目标所困扰，每个人都在经受痛苦。河水之声忧伤，带着悲哀与渴望，向自己的归宿流去。

75. So the two old men listened in silence. The river's song, with its many voices, softly echoed. Siddhartha gazed at the river, and many images appeared on the flowing surface. He saw his father in solitude, mourning the loss of his beloved son; he also saw himself, alone, unable to free himself from his longing for his child far away; and he saw his own son, also alone, hurrying along the burning path of desire. Each one was fixated on their own goal, each one was troubled by their own goal, and each one was enduring suffering. The sound of the river was sad, carrying sorrow and longing, as it flowed towards its destination.

76. 自此船夫成了他的导师，他们一起居住，一起渡船助人，看朝起朝落，听人间百态。

76. From then on, the boatman became his mentor. They lived together, helped people cross the river together, witnessed the rise and fall of the day, and listened to the various aspects of human life.
