本书简介：
《沉思录》是古罗马皇帝奥勒留写给自己的书，内容大部分是他在鞍马劳顿中写成的。作品来自奥勒留对身羁宫廷的自己和自己所处混乱世界的感受，追求一种冷静而达观的生活。这部著作是斯多葛学派的一个里程碑，亦是温总理放在枕边，读了不下百遍的书。
本书原文由古希腊文而作，英文版选择比较权威的George Long的版本，中文版选择何怀宏的版本作参考。笔记中的英文释义摘自《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》

 作者简介：
马可•奥勒留（Marcus Aurelius，公元121—180年），著名的“帝王哲学家”，古罗马帝国皇帝，在希腊文学和拉丁文学、修辞、哲学、法律、绘画方面受过很好的教育，晚期斯多葛学派代表人物之一。奥勒留也许是西方历史上唯一的一位哲学家皇帝。他是一个比他的帝国更加完美的人，他的勤奋工作最终并没有能够挽救古罗马，但是他的《沉思录》却成为西方历史上的伟大名著。

卷六03

6.7 In the gymnastic exercises suppose that a man has torn thee with his nails, and by dashing against thy head has inflicted a wound. Well, we neither show any signs of vexation, nor are we offended, nor do we suspect him afterwards as a treacherous fellow; and yet we are on our guard against him, not however as an enemy, nor yet with suspicion, but we quietly get out of his way. Something like this let thy behaviour be in all the other parts of life; let us overlook many things in those who are like antagonists in the gymnasium. For it is in our power, as I said, to get out of the way, and to have no suspicion nor hatred.

 Notes：
vexation [n]1. the state of feeling upset or annoyed.
                 2. a thing that upsets or annoys you.
treacherous [a]1. that cannot be trusted; intending to harm you.
                      2. dangerous, especially when seeming safe.

6.8 If any man is able to convince me and show me that I do not think or act right, I will gladly change; for I seek the truth by which no man was ever injured. But he is injured who abides in his error and ignorance.

6.9 I do my duty: other things trouble me not; for they are either things without life, or things without reason, or things that have rambled and know not the way.

6.10 As to the animals which have no reason and generally all things and objects, do thou, since thou hast reason and they have none, make use of them with a generous and liberal spirit. But towards human beings, as they have reason, behave in a social spirit. And on all occasions call on the gods, and do not perplex thyself about the length of time in which thou shalt do this; for even three hours so spent are sufficient.

中文翻译：
6.7 假设在体育竟技中一个人的指甲抠伤了你的皮肤，或者在冲撞到你的头时使你受了伤，那好，我们不会有什么神经质的表现，不会以为他要杀我们，我们也不会随后怀疑他是一个背信弃义的伙伴；我们虽然还是防范他范他，但无论如何不是作为一个敌人，也不带猜疑，而是平静地让开。你在你生活的所有别的方面也这样做吧，让我们不要对那些好比是体育场上的对手一样的人们多心吧。因为，正如我所说的，不抱任何猜疑或仇恨地让开路在我的力量范围之内。

6.8 如果有人能够使我相信向我展示我没有正确地思考和行动，我将愉快地改变自己；因为我寻求真理，而任何人都不会受到真理的伤害。而那保留错误和无知的人却要因此受到伤害。

6.9 我履行我的义务，其他的事物不会使我苦恼，因为它们或者是没有生命的物体，或者是没有理性的事物，或者是误入歧途或不明道路的存在。

6.10 对于那没有理性的动物和一般的事物和对象，由于你有理性而它们没有，你要以一种大方和慷慨的精神对待它们。而对于人来说，由于他们有理性，你要以一种友爱的精神对待他们。在所有的场合都要祷告神灵，不要困窘于你将花多长时间做这事，因为即使如此化去三小时也是足够的。
