In The Joyful Science, Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, “but what if pleasure and displeasure

在《快樂的科學》中，弗里德里希-尼采寫道："但如果快樂和不快樂

to 不定詞

were so tied together that whoever wanted to have as much as possible of one must also

是如此緊密地聯繫在一起，以至於誰想盡可能多地擁有其中的一個，也必須

過去簡單式

have as much as possible of the other—that whoever wanted to learn to 'jubilate up

儘可能多地擁有對方--誰想學會 "歡呼雀躍"，誰就能得到。

to the heavens' would also have to be prepared for 'depression unto death'?

到天堂'也要準備好'鬱悶到死'？

In my opinion, that is one of Nietzsche's sharpest insights: pleasure and pain are inseparable.

在我看來，這是尼采最敏銳的洞察力之一：快樂和痛苦是不可分割的。

As usual, I'm gonna explore this idea through a dialogue.

像往常一樣，我將通過對話來探討這個想法。

--- A rich man (R) spent the majority of his life

--- 一個富人(R)花了他生命中的大部分時間

chasing things, and at the age of 40, he finally had everything he wanted: millions of dollars,

追逐的東西，在40歲時，他終於擁有了他想要的一切：數百萬美元。

exotic cars, designer clothes, a big home, a high-status position at a large company,

異國情調的汽車、名牌服裝、大房子、大公司的高地位。

You may think it's weird that I placed his wife among a group of objects that one acquires,

你可能認為我把他的妻子放在一個人獲得的一組物品中很奇怪。

but for this man, that was how he viewed his wife: a thing to be acquired.

但對這個男人來說，他就是這樣看待他的妻子的：一個可以獲得的東西。

Ever since he was a boy, the man had a mental checklist: get a well-respected job, make

從他還是個孩子的時候起，這個人就有一個心理清單：找到一份受人尊敬的工作，讓自己的生活變得更加美好。

a lot of money, get a beautiful wife, and the end result is happiness.

很多錢，得到一個美麗的妻子，最終的結果是幸福。

But at the age of 40, after decades of hard work, after acquiring all he set out to acquire,

但在40歲的時候，經過幾十年的努力，在獲得了他所設定的一切之後。

after getting everything he wanted, he realized he was no happier than when he started.

在得到他想要的一切之後，他意識到他並不比開始時更快樂。

The sudden realization that he was no happier than when he started threw him into a psychological

突然意識到，他並不比開始時更快樂，這使他陷入了心理陰影之中。

All that hard work and what did he have to show for it?

所有這些艱苦的工作，他有什麼可展示的呢？

And the toys hadn't brought the lasting happiness he had hoped for.

而這些玩具並沒有帶來他所希望的持久幸福。

He quit his job the very next day, and for weeks, he refused to get out of bed.

第二天他就辭去了工作，幾個星期以來，他拒絕下床。

His wife prepared his meals and brought several doctors to the house to help her husband.

他的妻子為他準備飯菜，並帶著幾位醫生到家裡幫助她的丈夫。

“There's no point to anything,” said the rich man to each doctor.

"任何事情都沒有意義，"富人對每個醫生說。

Needless to say, the doctors were unsuccessful in helping him.

不用說，醫生們沒能成功地幫助他。

Eventually, the rich man reached a breaking point.

最終，這個富人達到了崩潰的地步。

When his wife was out to get food, the man left a note on the kitchen counter and walked

當他的妻子出去買食物時，該男子在廚房的櫃檯上留下一張紙條，然後走到

On the way to his destination, he saw the same street performer he had seen everyday

在前往目的地的路上，他看到了他每天都看到的那個街頭藝人

The street performer wore tattered clothes and played the guitar on the sidewalks.

街頭藝人穿著破爛的衣服，在人行道上彈吉他。

他看起來無家可歸，而且生病了。

But even so, this man was smiling and full of joy everyday.

但即便如此，這個人每天都面帶微笑，充滿喜悅。

The rich man clenched his fists and walked towards the street performer (S).

富人握緊了拳頭，走向街頭表演者（S）。

Hardly anyone listens to you play your guitar, you have no home, no friends, no money, no

幾乎沒有人聽你彈吉他，你沒有家，沒有朋友，沒有錢，沒有

clothes, no status, and you're coughing up blood for goodness sakes.

衣服，沒有地位，而且你還在咳血，看在上帝的份上。

S: Ahh yes, I thought you looked familiar.

S:啊，是的，我覺得你看起來很熟悉。

You probably have a nice home, a beautiful family, lots of money, nice cars, and a lot

你可能有一個漂亮的家，一個美麗的家庭，很多錢，漂亮的汽車，和很多的

Probably because everything is pointless and meaningless.

可能是因為一切都沒有意義，毫無意義。

Trust me: I've been chasing these things for 40 years.

相信我。我追尋這些東西已經40年了。

Once I got a million dollars, I wanted two.

一旦我得到一百萬美元，我就想得到兩百萬美元。

Once I got a home, I wanted a bigger home.

一旦我有了一個家，我就想有一個更大的家。

Once I got one car, I wanted a faster car.

一旦我有了一輛車，我就想要一輛更快的車。

I kept thinking these things would make me happy, but they don't.

我一直以為這些東西會讓我快樂，但它們並沒有。

When you've gotten as far as I have, you realize that everything is pointless and meaningless.

當你像我一樣走到這一步時，你會意識到一切都毫無意義，毫無意義。

這就是為什麼你很開心而我不開心。

S: Here, listen to this song on my guitar.

S：來，聽一下我吉他上的這首歌。

Why bother with all this talk about meaning and meaninglessness.

為什麼要費盡心思談論意義和無意義的問題。

那麼，這就是我如何能擁有你所擁有的嗎？

S: What's with you and always wanting to achieve something or acquire something?

S:你是怎麼了，總是想實現什麼或獲得什麼？

And now you think I have something, and you want to chase that.

而現在你認為我有什麼東西，你想追尋這個。

I may not have all the things you have, but I can tell you something you've never heard.

我可能沒有你擁有的所有東西，但我可以告訴你一些你從未聽說過的東西。

S: You think happiness comes from chasing things, but let me tell you something: the

S：你認為幸福來自於對事物的追逐，但讓我告訴你一些事情：

You think happiness is a state of continuous pleasure, but that doesn't exist.

你認為幸福是一種持續快樂的狀態，但這並不存在。

Pleasure and pain are two sides of the same coin called desire.

快樂和痛苦是同一枚硬幣的兩面，叫做慾望。

Pleasure comes from getting what you desire, but desiring something means that you don't

快樂來自於得到你所渴望的東西，但渴望某種東西意味著你不

And realizing that you don't have something you want is painful.

而意識到你沒有你想要的東西是很痛苦的。

So as long as you're chasing something, as long as you're desiring something, you'll

是以，只要你在追尋什麼，只要你在渴望什麼，你就會

feel both pain and pleasure in equal measures.

You'll feel pain as long as you don't have the thing, you'll feel pleasure when

只要你沒有那東西，你就會感到痛苦，你會感到快樂，當

you get it, then you'll adjust to having it and feel nothing, and then you'll start

你得到了它，然後你會適應它，沒有感覺，然後你會開始

你已經在這個循環中度過了40年。

You should see by now that happiness does not come from this process.

你現在應該看到，幸福並不來自於這個過程。
