诗<<Desiderata >>

电视剧CI5行动《墓地幻影》中
CI5小组在他的居室里看到了这样一首诗——
准确地讲,那是一首Doyle收集的墓志铭.
这首诗是一位20世纪的美国律师所作,他的名字叫Max Ehrmann(1872-1945). 遗憾的是
,Ehrmann生前并不引人注目,他死后3年,他的遗孀将他的诗作结集发表。1956年,一
位喜欢诗歌的牧师将这首诗刻在巴尔的摩圣保罗教堂的墓地中,标上了1692的字样,其

Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and
haste,
and remember what peace there may be in
silence.
As far as possible without
surrender
be on good terms with all
persons.
Speak your truth quietly and
clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the
ignorant;
they too have their
story.
Avoid loud and aggressive
persons,
they are vexations to the
spirit.
If you compare yourself with
others,
you may become vain and
bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than
yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your
plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however
humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of
time.
Exercise caution in your business
affairs;
for the world is full of
trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there
is;
many persons strive for high
ideals;
and everywhere life is full of
heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign
affection.
Neither be cynical about
love;
for in the face of all aridity and
disenchantment
it is as perennial as the
grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the
years,
gracefully surrendering the things of
youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden
misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark
imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and
loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome
discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the
universe,
no less than the trees and the
stars;
you have a right to be
here.
And whether or not it is clear to
you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it
should.
Therefore be at peace with
God,
whatever you conceive Him to
be,
and whatever your labors and
aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your
soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken
dreams,
it is still a beautiful
world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

在嘈杂和慌乱中平静前行,
记住和平也许就存在于寂静之中。
不卑不亢
和所有人保持良好关系。
平和清晰地说出你的真实想法,
同时也倾听他人,
尽管会平淡枯燥,
可他们也有自己的故事。
躲开那些招摇和咄咄逼人的人们,
他们是不羁的灵魂。
如果你将自己与他人相比,
那将是苦涩空白一片,
因为总会有比你伟大或是比你渺小之人。
只享受你自己的成就和计划吧。
专注于你自己的前途,但保持谦卑;
这是多变的命运旅途上的必经之路。
在商务活动中多加小心,
因这世界充满了陷阱。
不过别让它蒙蔽了你,忘记了美德所在,
许多人为了崇高的理想而奋斗,
生命中处处充满了英雄的行为。
做你自己。
特别是,不要假装爱。
也不要对爱不屑一顾。
因为在贫瘠和令人失望的表面之下,
爱如野草生长绵绵不绝。
听取岁月的友好忠告,
向青春优雅地投降。
心灵有着防护突遭不幸的力量。
不要为你自己的阴暗想象而苦恼,
许多恐惧是源于疲劳和寂寞。
在有益的戒律之下,
善待你自己。
你是宇宙的孩子,
就像树木和群星。
你有权在此。
不管你是不是清楚,
宇宙总是敞开得明明白白。
和上帝保持和平,
不管你是否相信。
不论你多么劳心劳力,
在生命的混乱嘈杂中与你的灵魂保持和平。
尽管有欺骗,苦闷,和破碎的梦,
这仍然是一个美丽的世界。
保持愉快。
为快乐而奋斗。
