Actually, it would be equally productive to search for the foundation of youth, or some such myth. The world is simply not put together that way. Robins eat worms. That’s not fair to the worms. Spiders ear flies. That’s not fair to the flies. Cougars kill coyotes. Coyotes kill badgers. Badgers kill mice. Mice kill bugs. Bugs… You have only to look at nature to realize there is no justice in the world. Tornadoes, floods, tidal waves, droughts are all unfair. It is a mythological concept, this justice business. The world and the people in it go on being unfair every day. You can choose to be happy or unhappy, but it has nothing to do with the lack of justice you see around you. 第 1 页 共 2 页

英汉商务翻译 Our culture promises justice. Politicians refer to it in all of their campaign speeches. “We need equality and justice for all.” Yet day after day, nay, century after century, the lack of justice continues. Poverty, war, pestilence, crime, prostitution, dope and murders persist generation after generation in public and private life. And if the history of humanity can be used as a guide they will continue. Injustice is a constant, but you, in your infinite new wisdom, can decide to fight that injustice and refuse to be seduced into being emotionally immobilized over it. You can work at helping to eradicate injustice, and you can decide that you won’t be psychologically defeated by it. 段落练习二 The legal system promises justice. “The people demand justice,” and some of them even work to make it happen. But it generally doesn’t. Those with money are not convicted. Judges and policemen are often bought by the powerful. A president and vice-president of the United States are pardoned or wrist-slapped for obvious felonies. The poor fill the jail, and have next to no chance of beating the system. It’s not fair. But it’s true. Spiro Agnew becomes rich after evading his income taxes. Richard Nixon is exonerated, and his yes-men serve a few months in a minimum security prison, while the poor and members of minority groups rot in jail waiting for trial, waiting for a chance. A visit to any local courthouse or police station will prove that the influential have a separate set of rules, although this is relentlessly denied by the authorities. Where is the justice? Nowhere!
