The Light of a Bright Day By Helen Keller
更光明的未来海伦.凯勒
I choose for my subject faith wroughtinto life, apart from creed or dogma. By faith I mean a vision of good one cherishes and the enthusiasm that pushes one to seek its fulfillment regardless of obstacles. Faith is a dynamicpower that breaks the chain of routine and gives a new, fine turn to old commonplaces. Faith reinvigoratesthe will, enriches the affections and awakens a sense of creativeness.
我选择生活的信念作为主题,而不是信条或教义。我认为,信念是一个人所珍爱的美好想象,是鼓励某人不顾艰难实现梦想的热情。信念是一种充满活力的力量,它能打破常规的束缚,让平凡陈旧的事物焕然一新。信念能使人的意志再次振作,使人的情感更为丰富,并能唤醒人的创造力。
Active faith knows no fear, and it is a safeguardto me against cynicismand despair. After all, faith is not one thing or two or three things; it is an indivisible totality of beliefs that inspire me. Belief in God as infinite good will and all-seeing Wisdom whose everlasting arms sustainme walking on the sea of life. Trust in my fellow men, wonder at their fundamental goodness and confidence that after this night of sorrow and oppressionthey will rise up strong and beautiful in the glory of morning. Reverencefor the beauty an preciousness of the earth, and a sense of responsibility to do what I can to make it a habitation of health and plenty for all men. Faith in immortality because it renders less bitter the separation from those I have loved and lost, and because it will free me from unnatural limitations and unfoldstill more faculties I have in joyousactivity. Even if my vitalspark should be blown out, I believe that I should behave with courageous dignity in the presence of fate and striveto be a worthy companion of the beautiful, the good, and the True. But fate has its master in the faith of those who surmount it, and limitation has its limits for those who, thought disillusioned, live greatly. True faith is not a fruit of security, it is the ability to blend mortal fragilitywith the inner strength of the spirit. It does not shift with the changing shades of one's thought.
