Self-control

自制

The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself, and self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom.

人能战胜自己是第一场也是最辉煌的一场胜利,自制是所有优势的基础。让一个人任凭冲动和感情行事,从那个时候起,他就放弃了自己合乎道德的自由。

A single angry word has lost many a friend. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.

一句简单的气话会失去很多朋友。当苏格拉底发现自己想发脾气或者愤怒的时候,他就小声说话来控制自己。如果你感觉怒火中烧,那就闭上嘴,这样就能控制住熊熊的怒火。许多人在极度愤怒中倒地身亡,盛怒之下,疾病易发。上帝要毁灭一个人,就先使他发狂。

To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger,” says Pythagoras, “brings with folly and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.

对弱者发火证明你自己不够坚强。“愤怒,”毕达哥拉斯说由愚蠢始,以后悔终。”你必须用一个人控制情感的强度,而不是用控制他的情感的强度,去衡量一个人的力量。

Self-control is man’s last greatest victory. If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.

自制是一个人最后的伟大胜利。如果一个人缺乏自制力,就似乎缺乏一切了。没有自制,人就没有耐心,没有能力管理自己,没有自信,因为他将永远被自己强烈的情感所控制。如果缺乏控制,一个人也就没有了品格之根本。
