　　以下是小编搜集的英语文章阅读6字名言。快来看看吧。

　　To be or not to be". Outside the Bible, these six words are the most famous in all the literature of the world. They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but also for every thinking man and woman. To be or not to be, to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly and eagerly, or to live dully and meanly and scarcely. A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally. He answeredit by saying:¨Ithink, therefore Iam.”

　　“活着还是不活。”如果把《圣经》除外，这6个字便是整个世界文学中最有名的6个字了.这6个字是哈姆雷特一次喃喃自语时说的，而这6个字也就成了莎士比亚作品中最有名的几个字了，因为这里哈姆雷特不仅道出了他自己的心声，同时也代表了一切有思想的男男女女。活着还是不活——是要生活还是不要生活，是要生活得丰满充实、兴致勃勃，还是活得枯燥委琐、贫乏无味。 一位哲人一次曾想弄清他自己是否是在活着，这个问题我们每个人也大可不时地问问我们自己。这位哲学家对此的答案是：“我思故我在。”

　　But the best definition of existence I ever saw was one written by another philosopher who said: "To be is to be in relations." If this is true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive. To live abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity of our relations. Unfortunately we are so constituted that we get to love our routine. But apart from our regular occupation how much are we alive? If you are interested only in your regular occupation, you are alive only to that extent. So far as other things are concemed-poetry and prose, music, pictures, sports, unselfish friendships, politics, intemational affairs-you are dead. Contrariwise, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest-even more, a new accomplishment-you increase your power of life. No one who is deeply interested in a large variety of subjects can remain unhappy, the real pessimist is the person who has lost interest. Baam said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend. But we gain new life by contacts, new friends. What is supremely true ofliving objects is not less true of ideas, which are also alive. Where your thoughts are, there will your live be also. Ifyour thoughts are confined to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to the narrow circle of the town in which'you live, then you live in a narrow circumscribed life. But if you are interested what is going on in China, then you are living in China if you'te interested in the characters of a good novel, then you are living with those highly interesting people, if you listen intently to fine music, you are away from your immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion and imagination.

　　但是关于生存我所见过的一条最好的定义却是另一位哲学家下的'：“生活即是联系。”如果这话不假的话，那么一个有生命者的联系越多，它也就越有生气。所谓要活得丰富充实也即是要扩大和加强我们的各种联系。不幸的是，我们往往会因为天性不够丰厚而容易陷入自己的陈规旧套。试问除去我们的日常工作，我们的真正生活又有多少?如果你只是对你的日常工作才有兴趣，那你的生活也就很有限了。至于在其他事物方面—一比如诗歌、散文、音乐、美术、体育、无私的友谊、政治与国际事务，等等——你只是死人一个。 但反过来说，每当你获得一种新的兴趣_—.甚至一项新的造诣——你就增长了你的生活动力。一个能对许许多多事物都深感兴趣的人是不可能总不愉快的，真正的悲观者只能是那些丧失兴趣的人。墙根曾讲过，一个人失去朋友即是死亡。但是凭着交往、凭着新朋，我们就能获得再生。这条对于活人可谓千真万确的道理，在一定程度上也完全适用于人的思想，它们也都是活的。你的思想之所在，也是你的生命之所在。如果你的思想走不出你的业务范围，走不出你的物质利益，走不出你所在城镇的狭隘圈子，那么你的一生便也只是多方受着局限的狭隘的一生。但是如果你对当前中国那里所发生的种种感兴趣，那么你便可说也活在中国，如果你对一本绝妙小说中的人物感兴趣，你便是活在一批极有趣的人们中间;如果你能全神贯注地听点好的音乐，你就会超脱出你的周围环境而活在一个充满激情与想象的神奇世界之中。

　　To be or not to be to live intensely and richly, merely to exist, that depends on ourselves. Let us widen and intensify our relations. While we live, let us live !

　　活着还是不活——活得热烈、活得丰富，还是只是简单存在，这就全在我们自己。但愿我们都能不断阔展和增强我们的各种联系。只要一天我们活著，就要一天是在活着。
