With its theme that " Mind is the master weaver, " creating our inner character and outer circum-stances, the book As a Man Thinketh by James Allen is an in-depth exploration of the central idea of self-help writing.
(46)
Allen’s contribution was to take an assumption we all sharethat because we are not robots we therefore control our thoughtsand reveal its erroneous nature.
Because most of us believe that mind is separate from matter, we think that thoughts can be hidden and made powerless; this allows us to think one way and act another. However, Allen believed that the unconscious mind generates as much action as the conscious mind, and (47)
while we may be able to sustain the illusion of control through the conscious mind alone, in reality we are continually faced with a question: "Why cannot I make myself do this or achieve that?"
Since desire and will are damaged by the presence of thoughts that do not accord with desire, Allen concluded:" We do not attract what we want, but what we are. " Achievement happens because you as a person embody the external achievement; you don’t "get" success but become it. There is no gap between mind and matter.
Part of the fame of Allen’s book is its contention that " Circumstances do not make a person, they reveal him. " (48)
This seems a justification for neglect of those in need, and a rationalization of exploitation, of the superiority of those at the top and the inferiority of those at the bottom.
This, however, would be a knee-jerk reaction to a subtle argument. Each set of circumstances, however bad, offers a unique opportunity for growth. If circumstances always determined the life and prospects of people, then humanity would never have progressed. In fact, (49)
circumstances seem to be designed to bring out the best in us, and if we feel that we have been "wronged" then we are unlikely to begin a conscious effort to escape from our situation.
Nevertheless, as any biographer knows, a person’s early life and its conditions are often the greatest gift to an individual.
The sobering aspect of Allen’s book is that we have no one else to blame for our present condition except ourselves. (50)
The upside is the possibilities contained in knowing that everything is up to us; where before we were experts in the array of limitations, now we become authorities of what is possible.
选项
答案
艾伦的贡献在于,他拿出“我们并非机器人,因此能掌控自己的思想”这一公认的假设,并揭示了其谬误所在。
解析
本句中有五个谓语成分:was to take、share、are、control和reveal,将句中插入语部分:that because we are not robots we therefore control our thoughts去掉,将主干部分以谓语为核心断开,形成三个独立的分句:①Allen’S contribution was to take an assumption;②we all share;③and reveal its erroneous nature,其中②是①中名词assumption的定语从句,省略了引导词that,而⑧是①的并列句,省略了主语和谓语中的一部分,补充完整后为:③and Allen’s contribution was to reveal its erroneous nature.三个分句分别翻译为:①艾伦的贡献在于他提出了一个假设;②我们共同认可;③并且艾伦的贡献在于他揭示了其错误的本质,这三个主干分句可以合并为:艾伦的贡献在于他提出了一个我们共同认可的假设,并且又揭示了其错误的本质;插入语部分含有一个原因状语从句和一个主干:④because we are not robots;⑤we therefore control our thoughts,翻译为:④因为我们不是机器人;⑤因此。我们能控制我们的思想,④⑤在句中形式上充当了插入语成分,同时又是由that所引导的名词assumption的同位语从句。
