奈何造句There's More to Life Than Being Happy
除了快乐之外，⼈⽣还有很多意义
Meaning comes fromthe pursuit ofmore complex things than happiness
⼈⽣的意义来⾃于追求⽐快乐更复杂（重要）的东西
By Emily Esfahani Smith
"It is the very pursuit of happiness that thwarts happiness."
“正是由于过分追求快乐才得不到快乐”
In September 1942, Viktor Frankl, a prominent Jewish psychiatrist and neurologist in Vienna, was arrested and transported to a Nazi concentration camp with his wife and parents. Three years later, when his camp was liberated, most of his family, including his pregnant wife, had perished-- but he,
prisoner number 119104, had lived. In his best lling1946 book, Man's Search for Meaning, which he wrote in nine days about his experiences in the camps, Frankl concluded that the difference between tho who had lived and tho who had died came down to one thing: Meaning, an insight he came to early in life. When he was a high school student, one of his science teachers declared to the class, "Life is nothing more than a
combustion process, a process of oxidation." Frankl jumped out ofhis chair and responded, "Sir, if this is so, then what can be the meaning of life?”
1942年9⽉，杰出的犹太裔⼼理学家、神经学家Viktor Frankl在维也纳被逮捕了，同他的妻⼦及⽗母⼀起被送往⼀个纳粹集中营。三年后，当他所在的集中营被解放的时候，他⼤部分的家⼈包括他之前已经怀孕的妻⼦已经被纳粹德国摧残死了，但是他⾃⼰活了下来，他在狱中的囚徒编号是119104。以他在集中营⾥的经历为蓝本，在他1946年花9天时间写就的畅销书《活出⼈⽣的意义》中，Frankl得出⼀个结论：那些已经活过的⼈与那些已经死亡的⼈之间的差别归根结底是因为⼀件事情——⼈⽣意义，⽽这个洞察他在年轻的时候就已经领悟到了。当他还是⼀个⾼中学⽣的时候，他的⼀个教授科学的⽼师对学⽣们说：“⼈⽣不过是⼀场燃烧过程，⼀个氧化的过程（估计中化学的毒太深）”。Frankl跳起来回应
道：“⽼师，如果⼈⽣真如你所说的话，那么⼈⽣的意义到底是什么？”
As he saw in the camps, tho who found meaning even in the most horrendous circumstances were far more resilient to suffering than tho who did not. "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing," Frankl wrote in Man's Search for Meaning, "the last of the human freedoms -- to choo one's attitude in any given t of circumstances, to choo one's own
way.”
他在集中营⾥看到，那些找到⼈⽣意义的⼈即使在最可怕的环境下，也⽐那些没有找到⼈⽣意义的⼈更能抵抗苦难的打击。Frankl在书中写
到：“⼈所拥有的任何东西，都可以被剥夺，唯独⼈性最后的⾃由——也就是在任何境遇中选择⼀⼰态度和⽣活⽅式的⾃由——不能被剥夺。”
Frankl worked as a therapist in the camps, and in his book, he gives the example of two suicidal inmate she encountered there. Like many others in the camps, the two men were hopeless and thought that there was nothing more to expect from life, nothing to live for. "In both cas," Frankl writes, "it was a question of getting them to realize that life was still expecting something from them; something in the future was expected of them." For one man, it was his young child, who was then living in a foreign country. For the other, a scientist, it was a ries of books that he needed to finish.
Frankl在狱中担任起了⼼理治疗师的⾓⾊，在书中他描述了遇到的两个企图⾃杀的狱友。就像很多其他在集中营中的⼈⼀样，这两个⼈也很绝望，他们觉得⽣活已经没有什么可期待的了，已经没有什么值得为之⽽活的了。Frankl写到：“在这两个案例中，解决问题的办法就是让他们意识到⽣活还有希望，未来还有事情需要他们去完成”。对其中⼀个⼈⽽⾔，希望（意义）就是他住在国外年幼的孩⼦；对另⼀个⼈⽽⾔，作为⼀个科学家他还有⼀系列的著作需要完成。
