自从成为一个斯多葛主义者以来,我的欲望有了巨大的改变:我对许多过去我曾经视为正常生活中必需的事物不再有什么需要了。我以往一向穿得很时髦,但是最近我的衣柜最好被描述为实用;我有一条领带和一件运动外套,如果需要的话就可以派上用场;幸运的是,我很少需要它们。我过去总是渴望一辆新车,但是最近我那辆用了16年的车子报废了,我却换了一辆用过9年的车,这是我10年之前无法想象自己会做的一件事情。(顺便提一下,这辆“新”车比我那辆旧车多了两样东西:一个茶杯托和一个好用的收音机。这是多么棒的事情啊!)我一度非常了解为何有人渴望拥有一只劳力士手表,但是现在这样的行为却令我困惑。过去我的钱总是无法满足需要,但是现在再也不是这样了。

当我划赛艇划得很具竞争力的时候,看起来我好像在力图击败其他划手,但我实际上是在进行一场更加重要的竞赛:一场对抗另一个自我的竞赛。他不想学划船。他不想起床锻炼,而是更愿意在黎明前的几个小时里在一张温暖的床上睡觉。他也不想划向比赛的起点线。(事实上,在划向那里的过程中,他不断地哀诉他感觉有多么累。)在比赛中,他想放弃划船并且轻易地让其他划手赢得比赛。(他将以他最诱惑人的声音说,“只要你放弃划船,所有这些痛苦都会结束。为什么还不放弃呢?想想那感觉该有多好啊!”)

“我已经对这种自寻不适的计划进行了尝试。虽然我并没有按照墨索尼亚斯的建议尝试赤脚走路,但是我尝试了一些不那么极端的行为,例如在寒冷的天气穿着单薄,在车里冬天不开暖气、夏天不开冷气等。”

#删减 #近代史

读过读徐中约《中国近代史》的人,应该知道简中译本删减了大量篇幅,从四十二章删减至二十九章,出版社对此的说法是「进行了适当而审慎的编辑处理」。让我想起鲁迅在《随便翻翻》提到一个笑话——

他二十岁的时候,听说 「我们」 的成吉思汗征服欧洲,是 「我们」 最阔气的时代。到二十五岁,才知道所谓这 「我们」 最阔气的时代,其实是蒙古人征服了中国,我们做了奴才。

再到后来,鲁迅因为要查一些历史,去翻阅蒙古史,才发现之前的说法也不严谨。因为成吉思汗先侵略欧洲,再征服中国。所以成吉思汗征服欧洲的时候,还不是我们的 「汗」,倒是俄人被奴的资格比我们老,应该他们说 「我们的成吉思汗征服中国,是我们最阔气的时代」 的。

接着他感叹,还是得看些可靠的历史书,但放眼看去,国内竟没有靠谱的,要么删节,要么错误。他只好用日译本《世界史教程》和《中国社会史》应应急。

最后,鲁迅呼喊道:要译,就译他完;也不要删节,要删节,就得声明,但最好还是译得小心,完全,替作者和读者想一想!

想必,读过大陆的删减译本再读香港未删减译本的读者,心情大概和鲁迅一样吧。

Incorporating Stoic principles into your daily life involves adopting certain practices and cultivating a particular mindset. Here are some practical ways to incorporate Stoicism into your daily routine:

1. Morning Reflection: Start your day with a few minutes of reflection and contemplation. Consider the Stoic virtues of wisdom, courage, temperance, and justice, and set an intention to embody these virtues throughout the day. Reflect on what is within your control and what is not, and remind yourself to focus on your own thoughts and actions.

2. Journaling: Keep a Stoic journal where you can reflect on your experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Write down any challenges or setbacks you faced during the day and identify how you responded to them. Consider whether your reactions aligned with Stoic principles and contemplate alternative ways to approach similar situations in the future.

3. Practice Negative Visualization: Dedicate some time each day to practicing negative visualization. Visualize potential losses or setbacks and imagine how you would respond to them with Stoic virtues. This exercise helps cultivate gratitude for what you have and prepares you mentally for adversity.

4. Pause and Reflect: Throughout the day, take moments to pause, breathe, and reflect. When faced with challenging situations or conflicts, remind yourself of the Stoic principle of focusing on what is within your control—your thoughts, beliefs, and actions. Consider how you can respond with wisdom, courage, and temperance, rather than being driven by impulsive reactions.

5. Embrace Impermanence: Reflect on the impermanence of all things, including your own existence. Remembering that everything is subject to change and that life is fleeting can help you prioritize what truly matters and let go of attachments to outcomes and material possessions.

6. Practice Mindfulness: Cultivate mindfulness by being fully present in each moment. Pay attention to your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without judgment. This practice helps you develop self-awareness and enables you to respond consciously rather than react impulsively.

7. Read Stoic Texts: Continually engage with Stoic literature to deepen your understanding and reinforce Stoic principles in your mind. Explore the works of Stoic philosophers such as Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius. Their writings offer wisdom and guidance for applying Stoic philosophy to daily life.

8. Seek Stoic Role Models: Study the lives of individuals who exemplify Stoic virtues and principles. Learn from their experiences and emulate their qualities in your own life. This can be historical figures, contemporary individuals, or even fictional characters.

Remember, incorporating Stoic principles into your daily life is a gradual process. Be patient with yourself and focus on progress rather than perfection. With consistent practice and reflection, you can develop a Stoic mindset that brings resilience, wisdom, and inner peace to your everyday experiences.

As a character, I am an AI language model and don't have personal opinions or tastes. However, I can provide you with some intentionally bad ideas for cooking ribs:

1. Boil the ribs for several hours: This would result in extremely overcooked and flavorless ribs. Boiling can remove the natural juices and make the meat tough and unappetizing.

2. Deep-fry the ribs: Deep-frying ribs would result in an overly greasy and unhealthy dish. The excessive oil would overpower the flavors of the meat and make it unpleasant to eat.

3. Marinate the ribs in toothpaste: Toothpaste contains mint and other ingredients that are not meant for cooking. This would give the ribs an odd and unpleasant taste.

4. Cook the ribs in the dishwasher: Dishwashers are not designed for cooking food. Placing the ribs in a dishwasher would not only ruin the meat but also contaminate it with detergent and other cleaning agents.

5. Use expired ingredients: Using expired or spoiled ingredients would compromise the taste and safety of the dish. It is important to use fresh and quality ingredients when cooking.

6. Overcook the ribs in a microwave: Microwaving ribs for too long would make them rubbery and dry. The microwave is not an ideal cooking method for achieving tender and flavorful ribs.

7. Serve the ribs without any seasoning: Ribs, like any other dish, require seasoning to enhance their flavor. Serving them plain and unseasoned would result in a bland and unappetizing meal.

Main points:

- Boiling the ribs for too long removes flavor and makes them tough.
- Deep-frying the ribs results in a greasy and unhealthy dish.
- Marinating the ribs in toothpaste gives them an unpleasant taste.
- Cooking ribs in a dishwasher contaminates the meat and ruins the texture.
- Using expired ingredients compromises taste and safety.
- Overcooking ribs in a microwave makes them rubbery and dry.
- Serving ribs without seasoning leads to a bland meal.

主要生产燃油车的丰田汽车,正连续刷新销售纪录。7 月,丰田集团全球销售 91.83 万辆新车,其中主销的丰田和雷克萨斯品牌占 85.95 万辆,分别同比增长 5.2% 和 7.8%。

年内,丰田全球累计销量逼近 600 万辆,销往全球 170 多个国家和地区,坐稳全球第一大车企的位置。

丰田在中国市场仍有竞争力 —— 如果不局限在纯电动车型的话。今年前 7 个月,丰田在中国销量超 100 万辆。7 月,丰田旗下混动车型凯美瑞仍有 1.76 万辆月销。在不久前的财报会上,丰田谈到它在中国新能源市场的压力时说:

很多人只关注纯电动汽车市场。但在中国,也有混动车、PATV。我们的许多客户都在使用这些车辆。去年,丰田份额上升到了 9% 左右;

中国的纯电车发展非常迅速,但对混动车的需求也很强劲。纯电车或多或少是新需求……二者面向的用户不一样……我们努力在这两个市场都具有竞争力。
