"What I Have Lived For"为Bertrand Russell(伯特兰·罗素)的名作。
一直大爱!Love!Love!Love!
爱，知识，对人类苦难的怜悯——应该成为每个人的一生。
(这个爱是狭义的爱，只有狭义的爱才能带来狂喜，狂喜这个词太好了，我就直接用它)
居然有很多网站的所谓原文都是错误满篇。翻译则也有很多版本。
原文敢保证这个是正确的，至于翻译，对于尊重原文及准确性及从自己的美学出发，基本很认真了。
语序能不改则不改，觉得重要的语序改了很不礼貌，并不是为了某些讲国语的人看着习惯才翻译的。
从2011年把这篇背下来之后每隔不长时间都会默写几遍，直到今天也是如此。

原文：
WHAT I HAVE LIVED FOR.
Three passions, simple but
overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love,
the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of
mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and
thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish,
reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it
brings ecstasy -- ecstasy so great that I would often have
sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have
sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness -- that terrible
loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim
of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have
sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a
mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints
and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might
seem too good for human life, this is what -- at last -- I have
found.
With equal passion I have sought
knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have
wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend
the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A
little of this, but not much, I have achieved.
Love and knowledge, so far as they were
possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me
back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart.
Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old
people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of
loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life
should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too
suffer.
This has been my life. I have found it
worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were
offered me.

我为何而活
三种激情，简单却又无比震撼地左右了我的人生——对爱的渴望，对知识的探索，和对人类苦难的不堪承受的怜悯。这些激情，好似狂风，使我四处飘荡，它任性地变换方向，越过一片悲痛汇成的深海，吹向绝望的边缘。
我曾找寻爱。首先因为，爱带来狂喜——绝妙的狂喜。为此我常想牺牲生命中所有剩余的时间，来换取感受几小时这种喜悦。我曾找寻爱，其次因为，爱缓解孤独，这可怕的孤独，感觉如同一个颤抖的灵魂从世界的边缘俯身望进那冰冷死寂的无底深渊。我曾找寻爱，最后是因为，在爱的结合中，我看见了——一个神秘的缩影，那是圣人和诗人曾想象出的，天堂的预示美景。这就是我所找寻的，虽然，听起来可能对人类生活而言太过理想，但这就是我最终所悟到的。
带着同等程度的激情，我曾探索知识。我曾希望了解人的内心；我曾想要弄清为何星辰在闪耀；我曾试图领会毕达哥拉斯学说中，数字统治芸芸众生的“魔力”。在这方面我所成就的并不多，就这一点点。
爱与知识，至此，极尽可能地朝天堂靠近，但总是怜悯——将我拽回世间。痛苦哭喊的回音在我心中震荡。陷于饥荒的孩童；惨遭压迫折磨的受难者；无助的老人，在其子辈眼中竟是可憎的负担；再加上人间所有的孤单，贫穷和痛苦，这一切都嘲笑着人类生活本该有的样子。我渴望消减邪恶，但我办不到，为此我也饱受折磨。
这便是我的人生，我自觉值得走这一遭，并会欣然再活一遍，若机会出现在眼前。
