59. Shoulder the Responsibility of Being a Writer

59. 肩負(fù)起作為一名作家的責(zé)任

Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it. There are no longer problems of the spirit. There is only the question: When will I be blown up? Because of this, the young man or women writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat.

當(dāng)今人們普遍存在著一種生理上的恐懼，這種恐懼由來(lái)已久，以致我們都已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了。現(xiàn)在不存在精神上的問(wèn)題，惟一的問(wèn)題是——我什么時(shí)候會(huì)爆炸？正因如此，今天從事寫作的男女青年已經(jīng)忘記了人類內(nèi)心的沖突，而這種沖突恰恰是創(chuàng)作的源泉，因?yàn)檫@是惟一值得寫、值得嘔心瀝血地去寫的題材。

He must learn them again. He must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid; and, teaching himself that, forget it forever, leaving no room in his workshop for anything but the old verities and truths of the heart, the old universal truths lacking which any story is ephemeral and doomed——love and honor and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice. Until he does so, he labors under a curse. He writes not of love but of lust, of defeats in which nobody loses anything of value, of victories without hope and, worst of all, without pity or compassion. His grieves grieve on no universal bones, leaving no scars. He writes the glands.

創(chuàng)作者必須重新學(xué)會(huì)這一切；必須教會(huì)自己認(rèn)識(shí)到一切事物的本質(zhì)是恐懼；教會(huì)自己學(xué)會(huì)忘記一切恐懼；在自己的創(chuàng)作空間里不給其他東西留任何空間，惟一擁有的是心靈的真諦。世界上放之四海而皆準(zhǔn)的真理是：任何創(chuàng)作一旦缺乏愛(ài)，榮譽(yù)，同情，自豪，憐憫和犧牲都將是短暫的，是注定要失敗的。如果創(chuàng)作者不能做到這一點(diǎn)，那么就永遠(yuǎn)無(wú)法寫出佳作。他不是寫愛(ài)情而是寫情欲，他寫的失敗是不會(huì)被認(rèn)為可貴的，他寫的勝利是沒(méi)有希望的，甚至是沒(méi)有憐憫和缺乏同情的。因?yàn)樗谋瘋皇浅鲎允郎仙`，不是發(fā)自內(nèi)心，所以留下不深刻的痕跡。

Until he relearns these things, he will write as though he stood among and watched the end of man. I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure: that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking. I refuse to accept this. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance.

只有懂得這些，他才能創(chuàng)作——仿佛身臨其境般地去創(chuàng)作世人所關(guān)注的人類的最終結(jié)局。我拒絕接受人類的終結(jié)。我們有足夠的理由相信——人類是永但的，是世代相傳的。因?yàn)槿祟惗贸惺堋．?dāng)最終的結(jié)局在那個(gè)血色的死亡夜晚從最后的那個(gè)毫無(wú)價(jià)值的高懸不動(dòng)的巨石上鳴叫遠(yuǎn)去時(shí)，一定還有另外一種微弱的，無(wú)窮盡的聲音在述說(shuō)。我拒絕接受這一觀點(diǎn)。我相信人類不只是承受，人類將會(huì)戰(zhàn)勝一切。人類是永怪的，不是因?yàn)樵诖笞匀凰鶆?chuàng)造的所有生靈中只有人類擁有不竭的聲音，而是因?yàn)槿祟悡碛行撵`——一種讓人能憐憫，能犧牲，能承受的精神。

The poet, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.
 

詩(shī)人和作家的責(zé)任在于抒寫這些東西。他們的榮譽(yù)在于通過(guò)完善人類的心靈，提醒人類要擁有勇氣，要有榮譽(yù)感，要擁有希望，要有自豪感，要有憐憫心，同情心和犧牲精神——這一切優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)是人類過(guò)去歷程的光榮。詩(shī)人的吶喊不只是記錄人類的歷史，詩(shī)人的吶喊應(yīng)該是一根擎夭大柱，幫助人類去承受，去戰(zhàn)勝。
