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
环境仿佛就是为了激发我们的最大潜能而设,如果我们觉得自己遭受了“不公”,就不太可能有意识地去努力摆脱自己的处境。
解析
本句中共有四个谓语成分:seem to be designed、feel、have been“wronged”和are to begin可依次将句子切分为四个独立的分句:①circumstances seem to be designed to bring out the best in us:②and if we feel;③that We have been“wronged”;④then we are unlikely to begin a conscious effort to escape from our situation,分别翻译为:①环境似乎是设计来激发出我们的最佳状态;②并且如果我们感到;③我们“命运不公”;④那么我们就不太可能有意识地去做出努力从我们目前的状态中逃离出来,其中①和②③④是并列结构,②③是④的条件状语从句,而③是②的宾语从句。
