【你的听写秀】： Thoughts in a grave yard 1

When I look upon the tombs of the great , every emotion of envy dies in me; when I read the epitaphs of the beautiful , even inordinate desire goes out; when I meet with the grief of parents upon a tombstone , my heart melts with compassion; when I see the tomb of the parents of themselves , I consider the vanity of grieving for those who deposed them , when I consider rival wits placed side by side , or the holy men that divided the world with their contests and disputes , I reflect with sorrow and astonishment on the little competitions , factions , and debates of mankind .
当我瞻仰伟人的坟墓，心中所有的嫉妒顿时烟消云散；当我读到伟人的悼文，所有的非分之想顷刻消失殆尽；当我遇见在墓碑旁悲痛欲绝的父母亲，我的心中也满怀同情；当我看到那些父母亲自己的坟墓，我不禁感慨：既然我们很快都要追随逝者的脚步，悲伤又有何用。当我看到国王与那些将他们废黜的人躺在一起，当我想到那些争斗一生的智者，或是那些通过竞争和争执将世界分裂的圣人们被后人并排葬在一起，我对人类的那些微不足道的竞争、内讧和争论感到震惊和悲伤。
