塞内卡:塞内卡道德书简·摘录 41

塞内卡《塞内卡道德书简》· Seneca's Morals · 健康 · 学习 · 成长 · 行动

The best conversation is with the philosophers—that is to say, with such of them as teach us matter, not words—that preach to us things necessary and keep us to the practice of them. There can be no peace in human life without the contempt of all events. There is nothing that either puts better thoughts into a man, or sooner sets him right that is out of the way, than a good companion, for the example has the force of a precept, and touches the heart with an affection to goodness; and not only the frequent hearing and seeing of a wise man delights us, but the very encounter of him suggests profitable contemplation such as a man finds himself moved with when he goes into a holy place. I will take more care with _whom_ I eat and drink than _what_, for without a friend the table is a manger.

白话

最好的交谈是与哲学家——也就是那些教我们实质而非空话、宣讲必要之事并督促我们实践的人。没有对一切遭遇的蔑视,人生便无安宁。没有什么比一个好伴侣更能给人好的思想,或更快纠正走错路的人,因为榜样具有命令的力量,并以对善的喜爱触动人心;不仅经常听和看智者令人愉悦,就连遇见他也会引发有益的沉思,就像人走进圣地时被感动一样。我要更在意与谁吃喝,而不是吃什么,因为没有朋友,餐桌只是马槽。

上下文

塞内加在道德随笔中强调哲学交谈和良友的重要性,认为榜样胜于言教。
