1. 我们的时代需要坚强的心灵去鞭策那些可悲的人们。

1. Our era requires strong spirits to spur on those pitiful people.

2. 我平静快乐地活着，并安安稳稳地走向人生的终结，完全是我的信仰使然。

2. I live in peace and joy, and approach the end of life in a stable and tranquil manner, all due to my faith.

3. 严肃认真地面对不可避免的**……但是将人类的自由交给上天安排是最痛苦的。心灵纯净与否对上天的意旨服从情况有关。

3. Face the inevitable with seriousness and sincerity... but entrusting human freedom to the heavens is the most painful. The purity of the soul is related to one's obedience to the will of the heavens.

4. 世界上有千百万生灵在承受苦难，你们为何都在这里照顾一个列夫·托尔斯泰呢？

4. There are millions of creatures suffering in the world; why are you all here to take care of one Leo Tolstoy?

5. 心灵极其需要欢乐，所以当他没有欢乐时，他就得自己制造欢乐。

5. The soul has an extreme need for joy, so when it lacks joy, it must create its own.

6. 他恨人，他亦被人恨；他爱人，他不被人爱。

6. He hates people, and people also hate him; he loves people, but he is not loved by them.

7. 在这荒漠的天空，只有科伦娜冷静而纯洁的友谊，如明星一般照耀了一刹那。周围尽是黑夜，他的思想如流星一般在黑暗中剧烈旋转，他的意念与幻梦在其中回荡。

7. In the desolate sky, only Korona's calm and pure friendship shone like a star for a moment. Surrounding it was total darkness, and his thoughts spun wildly like shooting stars in the dark, his thoughts and illusions echoing within.

8. 我们周围的空气多么沉重。古老的欧洲在沉睡、污浊的氛围中已变得麻木迟钝。猥琐的物质主义压抑了思想，阻碍了**和个人的行动。

8. The air around us is so heavy. Ancient Europe has become numb and insensitive in a polluted atmosphere. The sordid materialism oppresses thought and hinders and individuals' actions.

9. 宽大的鼻子又短又方，竟是狮子的相貌。一张细腻的嘴巴，但下唇常有比上唇前突的倾向。牙床结实得厉害，似乎可以磕破核桃。左边的下巴有一个深陷的小窝，使他的脸显得古怪地不对称。

9. The large nose is short and square, resembling a lion's. The mouth is delicate, but there is often a tendency for the lower lip to protrude more than the upper one. The jawbone is extremely sturdy, as if it could crack open walnuts. On the left side of the chin, there is a deep indentation, making his face appear oddly asymmetric.

10. 《名人传》由罗曼？罗兰的《米开朗琪罗传》、《托尔斯泰传》和《贝多芬传》组成，前两本传记先父翻译于一九三四年，一九三五年由商务印书馆出版；后一本传记翻译于一九三一年春留法期间，重译于一九四二年，一九四六年由骆驼书店出版。一九四九年后，先父认为这三本传记是他青年时期的旧译，文白驳杂，毛病很多，再加上其他种种原因，所以没有再版，直到二十世纪八十年代，才分别收入《傅译传记五种》和《傅雷译文集》；一九九四年商务印书馆又把前两本传记列入世界名人传记丛书，出过单行本；二十世纪九十年代，安徽文艺出版社曾将这三本传记冠以《巨人三传》之名，作为傅译名著系列，发行过十余万册。如今，译林出版社以《名人传》作为教育部中学语文教学大纲课外阅读推荐书目中的一种出版，意义甚大。为方便广大青少年读者阅读，本版在编辑过程中，对一些常见的人名或地名，采用了现行译法，对夹于文中的外文人名或地名，尽可能补译成中文，对个别误植之处也作了校订。《名人传》的序言出自杨绛先生为三联书店版《傅译传记五种》所写的代序。为了编排的方便，也为了阅读的方便，本版将注解全部。排入正文，注解前加*号的为译注，加**的为作者补充的新注，其他均为原注。此外，《贝多芬传》后的参考书目，因年代久远，于今天读者价值不大，故擅为删去。

10. "The Lives of Great Men" consists of "The Life of Michelangelo" by Romain Rolland, "The Life of Tolstoy," and "The Life of Beethoven." The first two biographies were translated by my father in 1934 and published by the Commercial Press in 1935; the latter biography was translated during his stay in France in the spring of 1931, retranslated in 1942, and published by the Camel Bookstore in 1946. After 1949, my father regarded these three biographies as outdated translations from his youth, with a mix of literary and colloquial language and many flaws. Due to various other reasons, they were not republished until the 1980s, when they were included separately in "Five Biographies Translated by Fu Le" and "The Collection of Fu Le's Translations." In 1994, the Commercial Press again included the first two biographies in the series "World Famous Biographies," and published them in separate volumes. In the 1990s, Anhui Literature and Art Press published these three biographies under the title "Three Biographies of Giants" as part of the series of Fu Le's famous translations, and distributed over 100,000 copies. Now, Yilin Publishing House has published "The Lives of Great Men" as one of the recommended reading books for extra-curricular reading in the middle school Chinese language teaching syllabus, which is of great significance. To facilitate reading for the majority of young readers, during the editing process, this edition has adopted the current translation methods for some common names or places, and has tried to translate foreign names or places mentioned in the text into Chinese as much as possible. Some misprints have also been corrected. The preface of "The Lives of Great Men" is the foreword written by Mr. Yang Zhaogeng for the Sanlian bookstore edition of "Five Biographies Translated by Fu Le." For the convenience of layout and reading, this edition has included all annotations in the main text. Annotations with an asterisk (*) indicate translations, those with double asterisks (**) indicate new annotations by the author, and the rest are original annotations. In addition, due to their age, the reference books at the end of "The Life of Beethoven" are not of much value to today's readers, so they have been arbitrarily omitted.

11. 我仿佛是一个迷失在森林里的人，极端愤恨着，因为是迷失了，到处乱跑不能自止，虽然明白多跑一分钟，便更加迷失的厉害。……

11. I feel like a person lost in the forest, extremely resentful because I am lost. Unable to stop running around aimlessly, though I know that every extra minute spent running will only make me more lost...…

12. 世界上只有一种英雄主义：看清这个世界，然后爱它。

12. There is only one form of heroism in the world: to see this world clearly and then to love it.

13. 术与语言是人类进步的两个有机体。一个是在沟通心灵，另一个是在交流思想。如果其中一个误入歧途，那社会就要出现病态。

13. Art and language are two organic entities of human progress. One is for communicating emotions, and the other for exchanging ideas. If one goes astray, societal illness will ensue.

14. strong>《名人传》简介

14. Introduction to "The Lives of the Great Composers"

15. 淡淡的烟青色，如水墨画般漾开在天边。山脚下的一架紫藤已过了花期，只有零零落落的几株垂挂在落叶间，花架间掩映着一栋风格合适的房子，深绿色的苔藓在灰白色墙上的晴影。

15. A faint smoky blue, spreading out like an ink wash painting across the horizon. At the foot of the mountain, a wisteria vine has passed its blooming season, with only a few scattered branches hanging loosely among the fallen leaves. Between the flower trellises, a house with a suitable style is hidden, with deep green moss casting a sunny shadow on the grayish-white walls.

16. 贝多芬的心灵里多少有些清教徒气息；粗野的谈吐与思想，他是厌恶的：他对于爱情的神圣抱着毫无假借的观念。

16. Beethoven's soul had a certain Puritanic spirit; he disliked coarse speech and thought: he held a pure and unadulterated view of love's sanctity.

17. 也许是他作品中最深刻的，仿佛用血泪写成的，结果是一文都不曾拿到。把贝多芬煎熬完的是，日常的窘况，无穷尽的讼案：或是要人家履行津贴的诺言，或是为争取侄儿的监护权，因为他的兄弟卡尔于一八一五年死于肺病，遗下一个儿子。

17. Perhaps the deepest among his works, as if written with blood and tears, yet he never received a single penny for it. What tormented Beethoven to the end were the daily hardships, endless lawsuits: either to demand fulfillment of promises for subsidies, or to fight for guardianship of his nephew, because his brother Karl died of tuberculosis in 1815, leaving behind a son.

18. 实在这种快乐并非一般人所有的那种。时而是莫舍勒斯所说的嬉笑怒骂；时而是战胜了如许痛苦以后的动人的微笑。总之，他是战胜了。他不相信死。

18. Indeed, this kind of happiness is not something that ordinary people possess. Sometimes it is what Mosh勒斯 referred to as laughter and anger; sometimes it is the moving smile after overcoming so much pain. In summary, he has overcome. He does not believe in death.

19. 《名人传》，是19世纪末20世纪初法国著名批判现实主义作家创作的人物传记作品，它包括《贝多芬传》（1903）、《米开朗琪罗传》（1906）、《列夫·托尔斯泰传》（1911）三部传记。

19. "The Masters of the World" is a series of biographical works written by the famous French critical realist writer at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, including three biographies: "The Life of Beethoven" (1903), "The Life of Michelangelo" (1906), and "The Life of Leo Tolstoy" (1911).

20. 我已经说过，他们确实很幸福。

20. I have already said, they are indeed very happy.

21. 当代巨大的变故在孤独的巨人心中是显得强烈与纯洁的，这种印象即和现实接触之下也不会减损分毫。

21. The immense changes of the contemporary era appear strong and pure in the heart of the solitary giant, and this impression is not diminished in the slightest when in contact with reality.

22. 他甚至在一八二六年时在自己头上打了一枪。然而他并不死，倒是贝多芬几乎因之送命：他为这件事情所受的难堪，永远无法摆脱。

22. He even shot himself in the head in 1826. However, he did not die, whereas Beethoven nearly lost his life because of it: the humiliation he suffered over this incident was something he could never shake off.

23. 热情与欢娱之间毫无连带关系。现代的人们把这两者混为一谈，实在是他们全部知道何谓热情，也不知道热情之如何难得。

23. There is no connection between enthusiasm and joy. Modern people confuse the two, which is truly a case where they know neither what enthusiasm is nor how rare it is.

24. 世上只有一种英雄主义，就是在认清生活真相之后依然热爱生活。

24. There is only one form of heroism in the world, and that is to love life after recognizing the truth of life.

25. 声乐应当使人类的精神迸出火花。

25. Vocal music should ignite sparks of human spirit.

26. 我们当和太容易被梦想与甘言所欺骗的民众说：英雄的谎言只是懦怯的表现。世界上只有一种英雄主义：便是注视世界的真面目-并且爱世界。

26. We should say to the people who are too easily deceived by dreams and sweet words: The lies of heroes are just a manifestation of cowardice. There is only one form of heroism in the world: that is, to gaze upon the true face of the world—and to love the world.

27. 心灵太渴望快乐所以当他得不到的时候它就得自己制造快乐。当面对太残酷的现在的时候它就必须回到过去生活。过去的幸福时光仍留下些许的记忆它们的光芒在未来的时间里仍将长久的照耀着。

27. The soul is so eager for happiness that when it cannot find it, it must create its own. When faced with the残酷 (cruel) present, it must retreat to the past, living there. The happy moments of the past still leave some memories, and their light will continue to shine brightly in the future.

28. 贝多芬的童年尽管如是悲惨，他对这个时代和消磨这时代的地方，永远保持着一种温柔而凄凉的回忆。

28. Despite the悲惨 of Beethoven's childhood, he always maintained a tender and melancholic memory of this era and the place that consumed it.

29. 一心向善，爱自由高于一切。就是为了御座，也绝不背叛真理。

29. Devoted to doing good, loving freedom above all. Even for the throne, I would never betray the truth.

30. 我称为英雄的，并非以思想或强力称雄的人，而只是靠心灵而伟大的人。

30. The ones I call heroes are not those who dominate with their thoughts or strength, but rather those who are great through their hearts.

31. 一开始，人生于他就显得是一场悲惨而残暴的斗争。父亲想开拓他的音乐天分，把他当作神童一般炫耀。四岁时，他就被整天地钉在洋琴前面，或和一架提琴一起关在家里，几乎被繁重的工作压死。洋琴为钢琴以前的键盘乐器，形式及组织大致与钢琴同。他的不致永远厌恶这艺术总算是万幸的了。

31. Initially, life seemed like a tragic and brutal struggle for him. His father wanted to exploit his musical talent and boasted about him as a child prodigy. At the age of four, he was constantly chained to the harmonium or locked up at home with a violin, almost crushed by the heavy workload. The harmonium was a keyboard instrument that preceded the piano, with a form and organization similar to that of the piano. It is fortunate that he did not forever hate this art.

32. 我们周围的空气多么沉闷，古老的欧洲在污浊败坏的空气中昏睡。卑鄙的物质主义压迫思想，组织**和个人行动。社会在机巧，卑下和自私中窒息。人类喘不过气来。让我们打开窗户！重新让自由的空气吹进来，呼吸英雄的气息！

32. The air around us is so oppressive, the ancient Europe is sleeping in the foul and decayed atmosphere. base materialism oppresses thought and the organization and individual action. Society is suffocating in cunning, baseness, and selfishness. Humanity is gasping for breath. Let's open the windows! Let the free air blow in again, and breathe the breath of heroes!

33. 不得不离开波恩，几乎终身都住在轻佻的都城维也纳及其惨淡的近郊，他却从没忘记莱茵河畔的故乡，壮严的父性的大河，像他所称的我们的父亲莱茵；的确，它是那样的生动，几乎赋有人性似的，仿佛一颗巨大的灵魂，无数的思想与力量在其中流过；而且莱茵流域中也没有一个地方比细腻的波恩更美、更雄壮、更温柔的了，它的浓阴密布、鲜花满地的坂坡，受着河流的冲击与抚爱。

33. Forced to leave Bonn, spending almost his entire life in the flippant capital of Vienna and its bleak outskirts, he never forgot his hometown by the Rhine, the majestic father river, as he called it, our father Rhine; indeed, it was so vivid, almost anthropomorphic, as if a vast soul with countless thoughts and forces flowing through it; and there is no place in the Rhine basin more beautiful, grandiose, or gentle than the delicate Bonn. Its slopes are lush with dense shade and flowers, buffeted and caressed by the river's冲击.

34. 生命还需前进。动，便是生。

34. Life must continue to progress. Movement is life.

35. 这是无目的地，单为了娱乐而浪费着超人的经历，宛如一条洋溢泛滥的河的欢乐。

35. This is a squandering of Superman's experiences aimlessly, solely for entertainment, just like the joy of a river overflowing with unrestrained abundance.

36. 牺牲，永远牺牲你的艺术和一切人生的愚昧！艺术，是高于万物的神！

36. Sacrifice, forever sacrifice your art and all the folly of life! Art is the god that transcends all things!

37. 他心坎间洋溢着的温情全部灌注在这个孩子身上。这儿又是残酷的痛苦等待着他。仿佛是境遇的好意，特意替他不断地供给并增加苦难，使他的天才不致缺乏营养。

37. The warmth that filled his heart was all poured into this child. Here, once again, was the cruel pain waiting for him. As if fate had a kindly intention, it deliberately supplied and increased his sufferings continuously, ensuring that his talent would not lack nourishment.

38. 我是替人类酿制醇醪的酒神。是我给人以精神上至高的热狂。

38. I am the god of wine, who ferments the rich and potent wine for humanity. It is I who grant to men the highest spiritual intoxication.

39. 在这些**的痛苦之上，再加另外一种痛苦。韦格勒说他从没见过贝多芬不抱着一股剧烈的热情。这些爱情似乎永远是非常纯洁的。

39. On top of these **pains**, add another kind of pain. Weygler says he has never seen Beethoven without being consumed by a fierce passion. These loves seem to be perpetually very pure.

40. 人生就像一条抛物线，幸运的顶点，往往也是厄运的开端。

40. Life is like a parabola, the peak of fortune is often the beginning of misfortune.

41. 对于这些延缓和踌躇的解释，我们还得更进一步：它们还有更深刻的原因。这个不幸的人永远受着忧患折磨，永远想讴歌欢乐之美；然而年复一年，他延宕着这桩事业，因为他老是卷在热情与哀伤的漩涡内。直到生命的最后一日他才完成了心愿，可是完成的时候是何等的伟大！

41. For the explanation of these delays and hesitations, we must go further: they have even deeper causes. This unfortunate person is perpetually tormented by cares, and always wishes to sing the beauty of joy; yet year after year, he procrastinates this endeavor, for he is always caught up in the whirlpool of passion and sorrow. It was not until the last day of his life that he fulfilled his wish, but when he did, what a magnificent achievement it was!

42. 一个不幸的人，贫穷，残废，孤独，由痛苦造成的人，世界不给他欢乐，他却创造了欢乐来给予世界！

42. An unfortunate person, poor, disabled, lonely, and one brought forth by suffering, the world does not give him joy, yet he creates joy to bestow upon the world!

43. 除了善良，我不承认世上还有其他高人一等的标志。

43. Besides kindness, I do not acknowledge any other sign of superiority in the world.

44. 信仰不是一种学问，信仰是一种行为；它只在被实践的时候，才有意义。

44. Faith is not a学问 (scholarship), faith is an action; it only has meaning when it is practiced.

45. 人生是艰苦的。在不甘于平庸凡俗的人，那是一场无日无止的斗争，往往是悲惨的，没有光华的，没有幸福的，在孤独与静寂中展开的斗争。

45. Life is hard. For those who are not content with mediocrity and the mundane, it is an endless struggle, often tragic, without any luster, without happiness, and a struggle that unfolds in solitude and silence.

46. 当全世界都在哭泣的时候是不应当嬉笑的。为了一个人的诞生而举行庆祝是缺乏知觉的人的行为。应当保留你的欢乐，在一个充分地生活了的人死去的时候发泄。

46. It is inappropriate to laugh when the whole world is crying. Celebrating the birth of a person is the behavior of someone lacking in perception. You should reserve your joy for the time when a person who has lived fully has passed away.

47. 凡事不能兼爱欢乐与痛苦的人，就是既不爱欢乐，亦不爱痛苦。?>

47. He who cannot love both joy and sorrow is neither loving joy nor sorrow.

48. 这样的一个人是生来受爱情的欺骗，**情的牺牲品的。他的确如此。他不断地钟情，如醉如狂般颠倒，他不断地梦想着幸福，然而立刻幻灭，随后是悲苦的煎熬。贝多芬最丰满的灵感，就当在这种时而热爱、时而骄傲地反抗的轮回中去探寻根源；直到相当的年龄，他的激昂的性格，才在凄恻的隐忍中趋于平静。

48. Such a person is born to be deceived by love, a victim of passion. Indeed, he is. He is constantly infatuated, drunk with love and madness, constantly dreaming of happiness, only to be disillusioned immediately, followed by the suffering of sorrow. Beethoven's most abundant inspiration can be traced back to this cycle of alternating love and proud rebellion; it was not until a considerable age that his fiery character calmed down in the poignant endurance.

49. 竭力为善，爱自由甚于一切，即使为了王座，也永勿欺妄真理。

49. Strive for goodness with all your might, love freedom more than anything else, and never deceive the truth for the sake of the throne.

50. 我称为英雄的，不是思想或力量上伟大的人，而只是心灵上伟大的人。

50. The ones I call heroes are not those who are great in thought or strength, but only those who are great in spirit.

51. 然而，这只是他生命当中的一个瞬间。此后，他生命的狂潮又重新掀起，他重新坠入了黑夜。

51. However, this was just a moment in his life. After that, the turbulent waves of his life surged again, and he once more fell into the darkness.

52. 有些记忆被焚烧掉，有些记忆被埋在心底，纯真年代如流水划过金色年代。

52. Some memories are burned away, some are buried deep within the heart, the innocent years flow by like water over the golden years.
