普鲁塔克:希腊罗马名人传·摘录 54

普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》· Plutarch's Lives · 财富 · 心性 · 领导 · 人性

Aemilius, however, reasoning justly that courage and resolution was not merely to resist armor and spears, but all the shocks of ill fortune, so met and so adapted himself to these mingled and contrasting circumstances, as to outbalance the evil with the good, and his private concerns with those of the public; and thus did not allow anything either to take away from the grandeur, or sully the dignity of his victory. For as soon as he had buried the first of his sons, (as we have already said,) he triumphed; and the second dying almost as soon as his triumph was over, he gathered together an assembly of the people, and made an oration to them, not like a man that stood in need of comfort from others, but one that undertook to support his fellow-citizens in their grief for the sufferings he himself underwent.

白话

埃米利乌斯认为,勇气和决心不只是用来抵挡刀枪,还要承受命运的各种打击。他面对这些交织的境遇,用好事平衡坏事,用公共事务平衡私人悲痛,不让任何事削弱胜利的伟大或玷污它的尊严。他埋葬了第一个儿子后举行凯旋式,凯旋刚结束第二个儿子又死了,他就召集民众发表演说,不是像需要别人安慰的人,而是像要支撑同胞们为他自己的遭遇而悲伤的人。

上下文

普鲁塔克《埃米利乌斯传》记载埃米利乌斯在战胜马其顿后,接连失去两个儿子,仍以坚忍和公共责任为重。

今日一问

当个人不幸与公共责任冲突时,你能否像埃米利乌斯那样先稳住大局,甚至反过来安慰他人?
