4. 我不开灯，又沉默地站在窗前，看暗夜渐渐织上天空，织上对面的屋顶。我的心往往在沉静到不能再沉静的时候，活动起来。我仰躺在沙发上，听风路过窗外。

4. I did not turn on the lights, and stood silently in front of the window, watching the dark night slowly weave across the sky, over the rooftops opposite. My heart often becomes active when it has become as still as it can be. I lie back on the sofa, listening to the wind pass by outside.

5. 如果人生真的有意义与价值的话，其意义与价值就在于对人类发展的承上启下，承前启后的责任感。

5. If life truly has meaning and value, its significance and value lie in the responsibility of carrying forward and building upon human development, bridging the past and the future.

6. 我从不把自己估计过高，我甘愿当一个平凡的人，而一个平凡的人，如果美欧金光闪闪的博士头衔，则在抢夺饭碗的搏斗中必然是个失败者。

6. I never overestimate myself; I am willing to be an ordinary person. For an ordinary person, if they have the dazzling PhD title from the US and Europe, they would undoubtedly be a loser in the fierce struggle for a livelihood.

7. 在人生的道路上，每个人都是孤独的旅客。

7. On the path of life, each person is a solitary traveler.

8. 我们时时刻刻沿了人生的路向前走着，时时刻刻有东西映入我们的眼里。反正我有过回忆了。我还希望什么呢？

8. We are constantly walking along the path of life, with something constantly entering our eyes. Anyway, I have had memories. What else do I hope for?

9. 那种极其困难的环境中，人生乐趣仍然是有的。在任何情况下，人生也绝不会只有痛苦。这就是我悟出的禅机。

9. Even in those extremely difficult environments, there is still room for the joy of life. In any case, life will never be just filled with pain. This is the Zen insight that I have realized.

10. 如果读书也能算是一个嗜好的话，我的唯一嗜好就是读书。人必须读书，才能继承和发扬前人的智慧。人类之所以能进步，靠的就是能读书又写书的本领。

10. If reading can be considered a hobby, then my only hobby is reading. One must read to inherit and promote the wisdom of the ancestors. It is the ability to read and write books that enables human progress.

11. 我一辈子考试的次数成百成千，从小学一直考到获得最高学位，但我考试的运气好，从来没有失败过。这一次又撞上了喜神，北大和清华我都被录取，一时成了人们羡慕的对象。

11. I have taken hundreds and thousands of exams in my lifetime, from elementary school all the way to obtaining my highest degree. However, I have been lucky with my exam luck and have never failed.

12. 如人饮水，冷暖自知，其中滋味，实不足为外人道也。

12. As they say, like a person drinking water, one knows the temperature oneself. The taste of it is indeed not something that can be described to outsiders.

13. 我现在就是抱着这种精神，昂然走上前去。只要有可能，我一定做一些对别人有益的事，决不想成为行尸走肉。我知道，未来的路也不会比过去的更笔直，更平坦。但是我并不恐惧。我眼前还闪动着野百合和野蔷薇的影子。

13. I now approach with this spirit, walking confidently forward. As long as there is a chance, I will definitely do something beneficial for others, never wanting to become a mere walking corpse.

14. 时光流逝，一转眼，我已经到了望九之年，活得远远超过了自己的预算。有人说，长寿是福，我看也不尽然。人活得太久，对众生的相，看得透透彻彻，反而鼓舞时少，叹息时多。

14. As time passes, in a blink of an eye, I have reached the age of ninety. I have lived far beyond what I had budgeted for. Some say longevity is a blessing, but I don't necessarily agree. Living for too long, one can see through the appearances of all beings thoroughly, which, instead of inspiring, often leads to more sighs than encouragement.

15. 清华和北大各有其优点，清华强调计划培养，严格训练；北大强调兼容并包，自由发展，各极其妙，不可偏执。

15. Tsinghua and Peking University each have their own strengths. Tsinghua emphasizes planned cultivation and rigorous training, while Peking University emphasizes inclusiveness and free development. Each has its own unique charm, and one should not be overly fixated on either.

18. 人与人和谐，人与自然和谐，人内心和谐。当下很多人的和谐观还仅仅局限在前两个层面，罕见有人关注到和谐的真正基础人内心和谐。而正是这个人内心和谐，又使得恩师回到了思考这个问题的起点。

18. Harmony among people, harmony between people and nature, and harmony within the human heart. Many people's concept of harmony today is still limited to the first two levels, and it is rare to find someone who pays attention to the true foundation of harmony, which is the harmony within the human heart. It is this inner harmony that brings the teacher back to the starting point of contemplating this issue.

19. 据说明朝的大臣上朝时在笏板上夹带一点鹤顶红，一旦皇恩浩荡，钦赐极刑，连忙用舌尖舔一点鹤顶红，立即涅槃，落得一个全尸。

It is said that during the Ming Dynasty, ministers would carry a little red crown of a crane on their jade tablet when they attended court. Once they were granted the extreme penalty by the imperial grace, they would quickly lick a bit of the red crown, and they would immediately achieve nirvana, leaving behind a complete body.

20. 人是百代的过客，总是要走过去的，这决不会影响地球的转动和人类社会的进步！

20. Humans are merely transient guests in the ages, always moving forward, and this will never affect the rotation of the Earth or the progress of human society!

21. 人有生、老、病、死，是自然规律，用不着伤春，也用不着悲秋，叹老不必，嗟贫无由。

23. 倘若我迎着黄昏站在沙漠里，我一定能看着黄昏从辽远的天边上跑了来，黄昏永远不存在在人们的心里的。只一掠，走了，像一个春宵的轻梦。

24. Walking on a path lined with blooming peach blossoms, clouds rise and the skies are resplendent, and the future seems bright and promising.

25. 有人认为长寿是福，我看也不尽然。人活得太久了，对人生的种种相，众生的种种相，看得透透彻彻，反而鼓舞时少，叹息时多。远不如早一点离开人世这个是非之地，落一个耳根清净。

25. Some people believe that longevity is a blessing, but I don't think it's entirely true. Living too long causes one to see the various aspects of life and the various aspects of sentient beings thoroughly and clearly, which, in turn, leads to fewer moments of encouragement and more moments of sighing. It's far better to leave this world of right and wrong earlier and enjoy a peaceful mind.

27. 我虽然没有叹息过，但叹息却堆在我的心里。

27. Although I have not sighed, sighs have piled up in my heart.

28. 我的原则仍然是只讲实话，不说谎言。我想遵守古希腊人的格言：吾爱吾师，吾更爱真理。我不想遵守中国古代一些人的为尊者讳的办法自欺欺人。

28. My principle remains to only speak the truth and not to tell lies. I wish to adhere to the maxim of the ancient Greeks: "I love my teacher, but I love the truth even more." I do not want to follow the approach of some ancient Chinese people who avoid speaking the truth about respected individuals, thereby deceiving themselves.

29. 生活上要知足，学习上要不知足，工作上要知不足。只要积极进取，努力工作，人民不会亏待，社会不会忘记。

34. To live a life is like composing a poem, where your successes and failures are the verses and the poetic touches of that poem.

35. 既然决心活下去了，那就要准备迎接更残酷更激烈的批斗。这个思想准备我是有的。

35. Since I have decided to live on, I must be prepared to face even more cruel and fierce criticism and struggle. This mental preparation I do have.

36. 我并不怕坟，只是在走了这么长的路以后，我真想停下来休息片刻。然而我不能不管你愿不愿意，反正是不行。

36. I'm not afraid of graves, but after walking such a long distance, I really want to stop and rest for a moment. However, I can't just leave you as you please, either way, it's not possible.

Habit has become nature for me, and work has become an incurable disease; the only way to correct it seems to be to wait for a rebirth.

39. 在另一方面，我的倒霉也有非常人所可得者。在那骇人听闻的所谓什么大**中，因为敢于仗义执言，几乎把老命赔上。皮肉之苦也是永世难忘的。

40. 只有能做到尽人事而听天命，一个人才能永远保持心情的平衡。

40. Only by doing one's best and respecting fate can a person maintain a balanced mood forever.

41. 记得鲁迅先生说过：人的本性是，一要生存，二要温饱三要发展。这同中国古代一句有名的话，完全是一致的：食色性也。食是为了解决生存和温饱的问题，色是为了解决发展问题，也就是所谓传宗接代。

41. Remember what Mr. Lu Xun once said: "The nature of humans is that first, they seek survival, second, they seek warmth and food, and third, they seek development." This is completely consistent with an ancient Chinese saying: "The nature of food and desire." Food is for solving the problems of survival and warmth and food, and desire is for solving the problem of development, which is also known as passing down the lineage.

42. 你只要留心，冷眼旁观，一定就会有收获。

47. Write significant events without feeling their weight, describe trivial matters around you without perceiving them as light; it is engagingly told, filled with whimsy; after reading, the taste lingers indefinitely.

48. 与其舒舒服服，懵懵懂懂地过一辈子，倒不如品尝一点不寻常的滋味，似苦是甜。

48. It's better to savor a taste that is neither ordinary nor common, sweet or bitter, than to live a comfortable, oblivious life for a lifetime.

52. I have been lonely since I was a child. In my little heart, I have always felt something was missing. Although I have never sighed, sighs have been accumulating in my heart.

53. 山林本身不懂什么饥饿，更用不着什么安全感。当全城人民饥肠辘辘，在英国飞机下心里忐忑不安的时候，山林却依旧郁郁葱葱，"依旧烟笼十里堤"。我真爱这样的山林，这里真成了我的世外桃源了。?>

53. The mountains and forests themselves do not understand hunger, nor do they need any sense of security.

56. By the time I learned to cherish, the things that should have been cherished had already quietly slipped away from this world.

57. To tell the truth and not tell a lie. Don't tell all lies, but don't tell all the truth either. It's not necessarily about saying everything, but what is said will definitely be the truth.

58. 我写这些东西的目的，是想说明，就是在那种极其困难的环境中，人生乐趣仍然是有的。在任何情况下，人生也决不会只有痛苦，这就是我悟出的禅机。

61. 在我们的日常生活中，我们都有这样一个经验：越是看惯了的东西，便越是习焉不察，美丑都难看出。这种现象在心理学上是容易解释的：一定要同客观存在的东西保持一定的距离，才能客观地去观察。

61. In our daily lives, we all have this experience: the more familiar something is, the less we notice it, and it's hard to discern its beauty or ugliness. This phenomenon is easily explained in psychology: one must maintain a certain distance from the objectively existing things in order to observe them objectively.

73. 能够百分之六十为他人着想，百分之四十为自己着想，他就是一个及格的好人。

73. If a person can consider others 60% of the time and themselves 40% of the time, they are a passing good person.
