普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》· Plutarch's Lives · 健康 · 哲学 · 领导 · 历史

Brutus and Cassius, frightened at this, within a few days retired out of the city. What they afterwards did and suffered, and how they died, is written in the Life of Brutus. Caesar died in his fifty-sixth year, not having survived Pompey above four years. That empire and power which he had pursued through the whole course of his life with so much hazard, he did at last with much difficulty compass, but reaped no other fruits from it than the empty name and invidious glory. But the great genius which attended him through his lifetime, even after his death remained as the avenger of his murder, pursuing through every sea and land all those who were concerned in it, and suffering none to escape, but reaching all who in any sort or kind were either actually engaged in the fact, or by their counsels any way promoted it.

白话

布鲁图斯和卡西乌斯因此害怕,几天内就离开罗马城。他们后来的所作所为、遭遇和死亡,写在《布鲁图斯传》里。凯撒死时五十六岁,比庞培多活了不到四年。他一生冒着巨大风险追求的权力,最终艰难得到,却只收获虚名和招人嫉恨的荣耀。但他生前拥有的伟大守护神,在他死后仍追讨凶手,走遍海陆,不让任何参与或出谋划策的人逃脱。核心是:权力到手未必带来满足,而谋杀者终难逃报应。

上下文

普鲁塔克《凯撒传》结尾,总结凯撒之死及其后果,并提及刺杀者布鲁图斯和卡西乌斯的结局。

今日一问

你追求的目标,是否也可能只带来“虚名和嫉恨”?
