2 of death 论死亡

【英】弗XX斯·培根（Francis Bacon，1561-1626）

men fear death, as children fear to go in the dark: and as that natural fear in children is increased with tales, so is the other. certainly, the contemplation of death, as the wages of sin, and passage to another world, is holy and religious; but the fear of it, as a tribute due unto nature, is weak. yet in religious meditations, there is sometimes mixture of vanity, and of superstition.

成人之怕死犹如儿童之怕入暗处；儿童底天然的恐惧因故事而增加，成人对于死的恐惧亦复如此。当然，静观死亡，以之为罪孽底工资，通往另一世界的去路者，是虔诚而且合乎宗教的；但是恐惧死亡，以之为我们对自然应纳的贡献，则是愚弱的。然而在宗教的沉思中有时亦杂有虚妄和迷信

you shall read, in some of the friars' books of mortifications, that a man should think with himself, what the pain is, if he have but his finger's end pressed, or tortured; and thereby imagine, what the pains of death are, when the whole body is corrupted and dissolved; when many times, death passeth with less pain, then the torture of a limb: for the most vital parts are not the quickest of sense. and by him, that spoke only as a philosopher and natural man, it was well said; pompa mortis magis terret, quam mars ipsa. groans and convulsions, and a discoloured face, and friends weeping, and blacks, and obsequies, and the like, show death terrible. it is worthy the observing, that there is no passion in the mind of man so weak, but it mates, and masters, the fear of death: and therefore death is no such terrible enemy, when a man hath so many attendants about him that can win the combat of him. revenge triumphs o 内容过长，仅展示头部和尾部部分文字预览，全文请查看图片预览。心战胜死亡；爱恋之心蔑视死亡；荣耀之心激励死亡；悲伤之心奔赴死亡；恐惧之心争先死亡。

*为人者，迟早必死也，有时既非勇敢所致，亦非痛苦造成，只因做相同之事感到烦恼，亦会导致死亡也。死亡如同诞生一样自然矣。

*一心向善者，唯意志坚定，便不会因死亡而悲伤也。

*死亡者，仍有一大亮点：既能开启美誉之门，亦能熄灭满心妒火。

【译者言】

人生再长，终有一死。寿终正寝者有之；英年早逝者有之；幼年夭折者有之；久病而亡者有之；抑郁自裁者有之；惨遭谋杀者有之；横祸致死者有之；沙场战死者有之；凡此种种，不一而足。然宁心静观，死状万千，终不能游离于二者之外：或重于泰山，或轻如鸿毛者也。
