我所追求的生活
威廉.萨姆塞特.毛姆/William Somerset Maugham
That must be the story of innumerable couples, and the pattern of life of life it offers has a
homely grace. It reminds you of a placid rivulet, meandering smoothly through green pastures
and shaded by pleasant trees, till at last it falls into the vastly sea; but the sea is so calm, so
silent, so indifferent, that you are troubled suddenly by a vague uneasiness. Perhaps it is only
by a kink in my nature, strong in me even in those days, that I felt in such an existence, the
share of the great majority, something amiss. I recognized its social value. I saw its ordered
happiness, but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course. There seemed to me something
alarming in such easy delights. In my heart was desire to live more dangerously. I was not
unprepared for jagged rocks and treacherous, shoals it I could only have change-change and
the excitement of unforeseen.

这一定是世间无数对夫妻的生活写照，这种生活模式给人一种天伦之美。它使人想起一条平静的
溪流，蜿蜒畅游过绿茵的草场，浓荫遮蔽，最后注入烟波浩渺的汪洋大海；但是大海太过平静，
太过沉默，太过不动声色，你会突然感到莫名的不安。也许这只是我自己的一种怪诞想法，在那
样的时代，这想法对我影响很深：我觉得这像大多数人一样的生活，似乎欠缺了一点儿什么。我
承认这种生活有社会价值，我也看到了它那井然有序的幸福，但我血液里的冲动却渴望一种更桀
骜不驯的旅程．这样的安逸中好像有一种叫我惊惧不安的东西．我的心渴望一种更加惊险的生活。
只要生活中还能有变迁———以及不可知的刺激，我愿意踏上怪石嶙峋的山崖，奔赴暗礁满布的
海滩。

I really like excitements.
It makes me feel  I am really alive.
I can't stand the same lifestyle for a long time.
I want change.
And I changed all the time.
That is not a good habit I think.
