问题     Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and the pity for the suffering of mankind.
    I have sought love, first, because it brings happiness and enjoyment—so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness—the terrible loneliness. I have sought it, finally, because in the world of love I have seen the version of the heaven that poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what—at last—I have found.
    With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know everything about the nature.
    Love and knowledge led upward toward the heavens. But pity always brought me back to earth. Children in famine, helpless old people and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to destroy the evil, but I can’t and I too suffer.
    This has been my life. And I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered to me.

选项 A、Love needs sacrifice.
B、Love makes the world beautiful.
