夜雨聆风🎬克里希那穆提：卓越与平庸（完整中英对照）
第一部分：平庸的定义与自我要求的本质
We started out by asking what is mediocrity. The root meaning of that word is going halfway of the hill, both physically and psychologically, right?
我们一开始先问什么是平庸。这个词的本义是指走到半山腰，无论是在身体上还是在心理上，对吧？
That means never be demanding of ourselves excellence, right? In all areas—in all areas, physically, technologically, and excellent behavior, excellent.
这意味着永远不对自己要求卓越，对吧？在所有领域——在所有领域，身体上、技术上，以及卓越的行为，卓越。
And we say as long as you remain halfway of the hill, never demanding of yourself the highest, that is in itself the essence of mediocrity, right?
我们是说，只要你一直停留在半山腰，永远不对自己要求最高，这本身就是平庸的本质，对吧？
We say the meaning of that word, "of the hill", we never are demanding of ourselves to be supreme.
我们所说的这个词的含义，即“停在山腰”，指的是我们从未要求自己达到至高无上的状态。
Supreme in the world of technology, in that field, and also inwardly understand, that means supreme excellence, meaning never jealousies, right?
在技术世界中、在那个领域中达到至高，并且在内心深处去理解，这意味着至高的卓越，意味着永远没有嫉妒，对吧？
Will you demand, will you see that you're not jealous? If you are not asking of yourself the highest...
你会去要求、去确保自己不嫉妒吗？如果你不要求自己达到最高……
Highest means in excellence to be at the top of your demand.
最高意味着在卓越中达到你对自己要求的顶峰。
I demand that I not be jealous. I demand it, and I finish with the idea of jealousy, envy, and so on, and finish with it.
我要求自己不要嫉妒。我如此要求，然后我就彻底结束嫉妒、羡慕等等的念头，彻底终结它。
But to keep on for the rest of your life being jealous, envious, is so—that is very mediocre, you understand, right?
但如果在你的余生里继续保持嫉妒、羡慕，那就是——那是非常平庸的，你明白吗，对吧？
Are you doing that? Asking of yourself to be excellent, to be supreme in everything, not just in one direction.
你在这样做吗？要求自己追求卓越，在一切事情上达到至高，而不仅仅是在一个方向上。
If you are doing gardening, excellent, right? If you are working in the scientific world, to be excellent.
如果你在做园艺，要做到卓越，对吧？如果你在科学界工作，要做到卓越。
And if you say "I must understand what I am," what I practicalize much, right?
如果你说“我必须了解我自己”，我实际践行了多少，对吧？
Are you like that? If you are not, don't condemn it by calling it mediocre, you understand?
你是这样的吗？如果你不是，不要通过称其为平庸来谴责它，你明白吗？
If you are not asking of yourself the highest, in quotes, if I am not, if you are not, don't condemn it by saying "I am mediocre," then ask why you are not, you understand?
如果你没有要求自己达到“最高”（引号里的最高），如果我没有，如果你没有，不要通过说“我很平庸”来谴责它，而是要去问为什么你没有做到，你明白吗？
But you condemn, that is mediocrity. You could just condemn it, but if you say "All right, why am I not asking of myself inwardly the highest?"
但你选择了谴责，那才是平庸。你可能只是谴责它，但如果你说“好吧，为什么我没有在内心深处要求自己达到最高呢？”
I'm using that word for the moment with certain hesitation. Well, I'm not asking because I am mediocre—no, then you are condemning it, you're missing.
我目前使用这个词是带着某种犹豫的。好吧，“我没有这样要求是因为我很平庸”——不，那你又是在谴责它了，你错过了重点。
He thinks that because he has once seen himself as being mediocre, that that means that he is forever in that state. Yes.
他以为，因为他曾一次看到自己是平庸的，就意味着他永远处于那种状态。是的。
If I find myself mediocre after hearing all this, this morning's verbal exchange, and I... am I the reason of it?
如果听了今天早上的这一切言语交流后，我发现自己很平庸，那我……我是造成这一切的原因吗？
I don't accept mediocrity. I say "Why am I like that?"
我不接受平庸。我说：“我为什么会是那样？”
And am I comparing myself to somebody who is not mediocre? If I am, I'm jealous of my comparison.
而我是否在将自己与某个不平庸的人进行比较？如果我是的话，那么我就是在嫉妒我的比较对象。
Comparison is one of the factors of jealousy, right? Envy, right? So I won't compare.
比较是导致嫉妒的因素之一，对吧？羡慕，对吧？所以，我不会去比较。
