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
这似乎是在为忽视贫困者的行为作辩护,为剥削、为社会上层人群的优越及社会底层人群的卑微找理由。
解析
这是一个并列句型,全句由…of those in need, //and a rationalization of…中间断开形成两个独立的并列分句:①This seems a justification for neglect of those in need;②and a rationalization of exploitation,of the superiority of those at the top and the inferiority of those at the bottom,其中②中出现了并列省略现象,主语、谓语和①相同:and this seems a rationalization of exploitation,of the superiority of those at the top and the inferiority of those at the bottom,在②中,of exploitation和后半部分逗号隔开,应为前后并列关系,即:a rationalization of the superiority of those at the top and the inferiority of those at the bottom,两个分句翻译为:①这看似是一个忽略那些身处困境的人们的正当理由;②这也是剥削行为的一个合理化解释,并且更是使上流人士优越、使下层人士卑微的合理化解释,②中是两个of名词结构并列:A of B,of C of D and E of F,由于名词C和名词E前有定冠词the,所以名词D只修饰名词C,而名词F只修饰名词E,这个并列of名词结构应翻译为:B的A,以及D的C和F的E的A,即:这也是剥削行为的一个合理化解释,并且更是使上流人士优越、使下层人士卑微的合理化解释。
