保罗·科埃略《十一分钟》英语名言：激情使一个人停止吃饭

朗读这篇文章

“Passion makes a person stop eating, sleeping, working, feeling at peace. A lot of people are frightened because, when it appears, it demolishes all the old things it finds in its path.

No one wants their life thrown into chaos. That is why a lot of people keep that threat under control, and are somehow capable of sustaining a house or a structure that is already rotten. They are the engineers of the superseded.

Other people think exactly the opposite: they surrender themselves without a second thought, hoping to find in passion the solutions to all their problems. They make the other person responsible for their happiness and blame them for their possible unhappiness. They are either euphoric because something marvelous has happened or depressed because something unexpected has just ruined everything.

Keeping passion at bay or surrendering blindly to it – which of these two attitudes is the least destructive?

I don’t know.”
― Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

机器翻译，仅供参考：
“激情使一个人停止吃饭、睡觉、工作，感到平静。很多人害怕，因为当它出现时，它会摧毁它在路上发现的所有旧东西。

没有人希望自己的生活陷入混乱。这就是为什么很多人控制住了这种威胁，并以某种方式能够维持一个已经腐烂的房子或建筑。他们是被取代者的工程师。

其他人的想法恰恰相反：他们不假思索地投降，希望能在激情中找到解决所有问题的办法。他们让另一个人为他们的幸福负责，并责怪他们可能的不幸福。他们不是因为奇迹的发生而欣喜若狂，就是因为意外的事情毁掉了一切而沮丧。

控制住激情或者盲目地向它屈服——这两种态度中哪一种破坏性最小？

我不知道。”
