[00:03.01]The Meditations 马库斯・奥利里乌斯（Marcus Aurelius,121-180）
[00:09.46]Begin each day by telling yourself: I shall be meeting with interference, ingratitude, insolence, disloyalty, ill will,and selfishness all of them due to the offenders' ignorance of what is good or evil.每天早晨醒来的时候告诉你自己：今天我将要面对纷纷扰扰,U忘恩负义，傲慢无礼，背叛与敌意，自私自利，所有这些都是那些冒犯者对善恶无知的表现。
[00:29.74]But for my part I have long perceived the nature of good and its nobility,the nature of evil and its meanness,而对我来说，自己一直都深知善的真谛和崇高，恶的本质和低俗，以及施恶者的本性。
[00:39.69]and also the nature of the evildoer himself, who is my brother (not in the physical sense,but as a fellow creature similarly endowed with reason and a share of the divine);那些所谓施恶者其实是我的兄弟（并非因为肉体上的接近，而是神赋予我们共同的理智和神圣）。
[00:54.05]therefore none of those things can injure me, for nobody can implicate me in what is degrading.既然如此，任何的攻击都无法伤我一根毛发，
[01:02.17]Neither can I be angry with my brother or fall foul of him;任何人都不能够将我卷入卑劣的事情。
[01:07.33]for he and I were born to work together, like a man's two hands, feet, or eyelids, or like the upper and lower rows of his teeth.我既不会生我兄弟的气，也不会与之发生争吵，因为我们天生注定要在一起工作，就如同人的两只手,一双脚，或一对眼睑，上下两排牙齿一样紧密不可分。
[01:18.70]To obstruct each other is against Nature's law and what is irritation or aversion but a form of obstruction...妨碍别人就是违反自然法则，而愤怒与厌恶只是这种妨碍的一种形式……
[01:30.18]Men seek for seclusion in the wilderness, by the seashore, or in the mountainsba dream you have cherished only too fondly yourself.人在荒郊野外、高山海滨寻求隐居之所,愉快地追寻着自己所珍视的梦想。
[01:43.77]But such fancies are wholly unworthy of a philosopher,since at any moment you choose you can retire within yourself.但是，对于一个哲人来说，这些幻想毫无必要。
[01:52.81]Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul...avail yourself often,一个哲人可以随时选择自我隐居，最清静、不受纷扰的静修之所莫过于他的内心。
[02:02.68]then, of this retirement, and so continually renew yourself. Make your rules of life brief,善于利用好隐居所带来的好处，不断地升华自己，使你的生活规则变得简单，
[02:11.56]yet so as to embrace the fundamentals; recurrence to them will then suffice to remove all vexation,拥抱世间的基本规律。如此循环往复，定会消除一切烦恼
[02:19.00]and send you back without fretting to the duties to which you must return...并且让你安然返回到原来的生活责任当中，而不需愤怒和焦虑……
[02:25.13]At day's first light have in readiness, against disinclination to leave your bed,当清晨第一缕阳光将要照射进来的时候，打消掉一切不愿起床的念头,
[02:32.62]the thought that "I am rising for the work of man." Must I grumble at setting out to do what I was born for,要想到：“我起来是要为人类工作的。”对于我们注定要完成的天赋使命，
[02:43.00]and for the sake of which I have been brought into the world?我们非得去抱怨一番吗？殊不知我们正是为这个天赋使命而来到世间。
[02:48.37]Is this the purpose of my creation, to lie here under the blankets and keep myself warm?上帝创造了我，难道就是让我躺在毯子下面温暖自己的身体吗？
[02:56.88]"ah, but it is a great deal more pleasant!" was it for pleasure,“噢，但是那样做很舒适的啊！”难道我们生来便是为了舒适,
[03:04.85]then, that you were born, and not for work, not for effort?而不是为了辛勤努力，为了工作劳动吗？
[03:11.00]Look at the plants, the sparrows, ants, spiders, bees, all busy at their own tasks,看看那些植物，那些麻雀，那些蚂蚁，那些蜘蛛，那些蜜蜂，
[03:18.05]each doing his part towards a coherent world order;它们都在忙着自己的工作，为世界秩序的和谐尽着自己的那份力；
[03:22.45]and will you refuse man's share of the work,难道你真的情愿放弃人类应该履行的职责，
[03:26.54]instead of being prompt to carry out Nature's bidding?而不主动接受大自然给我们的赏赐吗？
