　　英語勵誌文章： Be a Fighter

　　A young friend of mine asked me in a letter, “What kind of man should I be?” My answer was, “Be a fighter.”

　　Another friend of mine inquired, “How should I live my life?” Again my answer was, “Be a fighter.”

　　The author of In Praise of the Fighter says:

　　Riding on the ceaseless rushing torrent of life, I should pursue and overtake it so as to create an even greater and deeper torrent of my own.

　　If I were a lamp, it would be my duty to light up thick darkness. If I were the sea tide, I would marshal rolling waves to cleanse the beach of all accumulated filth.

　　This quotation reflects aptly the state of mind of a lighter.

　　Fighters are badly needed in our time. But such fighters do not necessarily go to the battle- field gun in hand. Their weapons are not necessarily bullets. Their weapons may be knowledge, faith and strong will. They can bring the enemy sure death without drawing his blood.

　　A fighter is always in pursuit of light. Instead of basking in the sunshine under a clear sky, he holds a burning torch in the darkness of night to illuminate people's way so that they can continue their journey till they see the dawn of a new day. It is the task of a fighter to dispel darkness. Instead of shirking darkness, he braves it and fights the hidden demons and monsters therein. He is determined to wipe them out and win light. He knows no compromise. He will keep on fighting until he wins light.

　　A fighter is perennially young. He is never irresolute or inactive. He plunges deep into teeming crowds in search of such vermin as flies and venomous mosquitoes. He will fight them relentlessly and refuse to coexist with them under the same sky. To him, life means nothing but continuous fighting. He either survives by winning light, or perishes with his body covered all over with cuts and bruises. In the course of the struggle, it is the “future” that serves as the beacon light to him; the “future” gives people hope and inspiration. He will never lose his youthful vigour.

　　A fighter will never lose heart or despair. He will pile up broken pieces of brick and stone to rebuild a nine-story pagoda on the ruins of failure. No blows will ever break his will. He will never close his eyes until he has breathed his last.

　　A fighter is always fearless. His steps are firm. Once he has settled on an objective, he will press right ahead. He is never afraid of being tripped by a stumbling block. No obstacles will ever make him change his mind. His eyes will never be hoodwinked by false appearances. His actions are guided by faith. He can endure any hardships or sufferings while striving to attain his chosen objective. He will never abandon work as long as he is alive.

　　This is the kind of fighter we now need. He is not necessarily possessed of superhuman capability. He is just an ordinary person. Anyone can be a fighter so long as he has the determination. Hence a few words of mine about “being a fighter” to encourage those young people who wander about in a depressed state, not knowing which way to go.

　　參考譯文：

　　《做一名進攻型戰士》

　　一個年輕的朋友寫信問我：“應該做一個什麽樣的人？”我回答他：“做一個戰士。”

　　另一個朋友問我：“怎樣對付生活了？”我仍舊答道：“做一個戰士。”

　　《戰士頌》的作者曾經寫過這樣的話：

　　“我激蕩在這綿綿不息、滂沱四方的生命洪流中，我就應該追逐這洪流，而且追過它，自己去造更廣、更深的洪流。”

　　“我如果是一盞燈，這燈的用處便是照徹那多量的黑暗。我如果是海潮，便要鼓起波濤去洗滌海邊一切陳腐的積物。”

　　這一段話很恰當地寫出了戰士的心情。

　　在這個時代，戰士是最需要的。但是這樣的戰士並不一定要持槍上戰場。他的武器也下一定是槍彈。他的武器還可以是知識、信仰和堅強的意誌。他並不一定要流仇敵的血，卻能更有把握地致敵人的死命，戰士是永遠追求光明的。他並不躺在晴空下享受陽光，在晴夜裏燃起火炬，給人們照亮道路，使他們走向黎明。驅散黑暗，這是戰士的任務。(激勵那些還在苦悶中彷徨，不知何去何從的年輕朋友。
