问题    The lives of most men are determined by their environment. They accept the circumstances amid which fate has thrown them not only with resignation but even with good will. They are like streetcars running contentedly on their rails and they despise the motorcycle that dashes in and out of the traffic and speeds so jauntily across the open country. I respect them: they are good citizens, good husbands and good fathers and of course somebody has to pay the taxes: but I don’t find them exciting. I am fascinated by the men few enough in all conscience who take life in their own hands and seem to mould it to their own liking. It may be that we have no such thing as free will but at all events we gave the illusion of it. At a cross-road it does seem to us that we might go either to the right or the left and the choice once made it is difficult to see that whole course of the world’s history obliged us to take the turning we did.
选项
答案 对大多数人来说，生活是由环境决定的。他们在命运捉弄面前，不仅逆来顺受，甚至还能随遇而安。这些人犹如街上的有轨电车，满足于在自己的轨道上运行，而对那些不时在车流中进进出出和欢快地奔驶在旷野上的摩托车不屑一顾。我尊重这些人：他们是守法的公民，尽职的丈夫，慈祥的父亲。当然，总得有人交纳税款，可是我并不觉得他们使人振奋。另有一些人把生活掌握在自己手里，似乎在按照自己的意愿创造生活，尽管这样的人的确寥寥无几，他们却深深地吸引了我。或许生活中没有可按自己意愿干的事，但不管如何，它确实存在于我们的幻想中。站在十字路口，我们似乎确实可在左右两条道路中任选其一。一旦选定后，很难认识到，那实际是世界历史整个进程左右了我们的选择。
