　　現(xiàn)在，我們要講所有幻覺(jué)中最需要防范的一種。

　　The idea that other people don't matter. Their feelings. Their needs.

　　這種幻覺(jué)就是：覺(jué)得其他人都不重要，他們的感受、他們的需求都不重要。

　　Instead, they see shadows of their world projected on a wall.

　　他們看見(jiàn)的只有投射在墻上的影子。

　　The world they see in the shadows is not the real world. But it's real to them.

　　他們?cè)谟白又锌吹降哪莻€(gè)世界當(dāng)然不是真實(shí)的世界，但他們就認(rèn)為這是真的。

　　If you were to show them the world as it actually is, they would reject it as incompreshensible .

　　而如果你把真實(shí)的世界展示給他們看，他們反而會(huì)抵制它，因?yàn)樗麄兝斫獠涣诉@個(gè)世界。

　　Now what if, instead of being in a cave, you were out in the world, except you couldn't see it.

　　那么現(xiàn)在，如果你不是住在一個(gè)洞穴里，而是住在真實(shí)的世界里，只是你看不見(jiàn)這個(gè)世界呢?

　　Because you weren't looking. You were only looking at what the media has shown you.

　　你看不見(jiàn)它，因?yàn)槟悴](méi)有在看它，你只是在看媒體呈現(xiàn)給你的東西。

　　You trusted that the world you saw through the prison was the real world.

　　你堅(jiān)信你從這個(gè)牢籠中看到的世界就是真實(shí)的世界。

　　But there's a difference.

　　不過(guò)剛剛舉的這兩個(gè)例子是有區(qū)別的。

　　You see. Unlike the allegory of the cave where the people are real and the shadows are false, here other people are the shadows.

　　你看，在那個(gè)寓言里面，人是真實(shí)的而影子是虛假的;但在這個(gè)世界里，其他的人就是那些影子。

　　This is the delusion of the narcissists who believe that they alone are real, that their feelings are the only feelings that matter because other people are just shadows.

　　這就是那些自戀者的幻覺(jué)，他們認(rèn)為這個(gè)世界上只有他們才是真實(shí)的，他們認(rèn)為只有他們自己的感受是算數(shù)的，因?yàn)槠渌硕贾皇怯白印?/p>

　　And shadows don't feel, because they are not real.

　　而影子是不會(huì)有感受的，因?yàn)樗麄儾皇钦娴摹?/p>

　　But what if everyone lived in caves. Than no one would be real, not even you, unless you woke up one day and left the cave.

　　但如果所有人都是住在自己的洞窟里呢?那么就沒(méi)有人是真實(shí)的了，連你自己都不是，除非你有一天突然醒悟然后離開(kāi)這個(gè)洞窟。

　　And then, how strange would the world look after a lifetime of staring at shadows.

　　這時(shí)候你才會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，這個(gè)世界是如此的奇怪;畢竟，你至今為止都不過(guò)是在盯著影子看而已。

　　　優(yōu)秀的英語(yǔ)散文:想逃離現(xiàn)在的生活追尋自由？

　　Have you ever gone on vacation and said to yourself, “I could live here?” On a trip to Jamaica, Kalisa Martin entertained that idea —and actually went through with it.

　　你是否曾經(jīng)旅行過(guò)并告訴你自己：“我能住在這里”?在去牙買(mǎi)加的一次旅途中，卡麗薩·馬汀思考了這個(gè)想法——也事實(shí)上將它完成了。

　　It was during a lingering and nasty New York City winter in March 2014. Martin and her boyfriend Jeff Belizaire decided to escape the snow by taking a last-minute getaway to Jamaica.

　　那是在2014年三月紐約市一個(gè)漫長(zhǎng)而惡劣的冬季期間。馬汀和她的男朋友杰夫·貝利澤爾突發(fā)奇想決定馬上跑去牙買(mǎi)加躲避雪天。

　　At the time, Martin had a dream job in the New York culinary world: brand director at Tasting Table, a digital destination for culinary enthusiasts. She also appeared on national television shows like Good Morning America.

　　在那時(shí)，馬汀在紐約的烹飪界有著一份理想的工作：Tasting Table的品牌主理人，這是一家美食熱愛(ài)者的線上聚集地。她同時(shí)也在國(guó)家電視節(jié)目如《早安美國(guó)》中出現(xiàn)過(guò)。

　　But there was something about that trip that spoke to Martin — profoundly.

　　但是，有關(guān)那趟旅程的什么東西深深地印在了馬汀的內(nèi)心。

　　“That long weekend, the idea of the B&B concept came up and we thought, ‘Why not?’It could happen, and it could happen right here in Jamaica,”said 30-year-old Martin. “That was the first time we seriously considered the idea.”

　　“在那個(gè)漫長(zhǎng)的周末里，“床加早餐”理念(一種旅店形式)的想法蹦了出來(lái)，我們想著‘為什么不呢?’那是有可能發(fā)生的，而且有可能就發(fā)生在這兒，在牙買(mǎi)加，”30歲的馬汀說(shuō)道。“那是我們第一次認(rèn)真考慮這個(gè)想法。”

　　Within four months Martin had quit her job and was on her way to Jamaica with Belizaire to create The Runaway, a bed-and-breakfast that has grown into a lifestyle travel brand.

　　在四個(gè)月里，馬汀辭了職，并和貝利澤爾踏上了去牙買(mǎi)加創(chuàng)造The Runaway的道路，一個(gè)有著“床加早餐”理念的想法開(kāi)始成為一個(gè)生活方式旅游品牌。

　　“We ran away from the cold and the typical 9-5 to follow our dreams and create this new life,”says Martin.

　　“我們從寒冷與典型的朝九晚五中逃離出來(lái)追尋我們的夢(mèng)，并創(chuàng)造了這個(gè)全新的生活，”馬汀說(shuō)。

　　And this isn’t your average bed-and-breakfast. The Runaway Jamaica is the first successfully funded B&B on Kickstarter. Backers donated almost ,000 to help bring the property to life.

　　這也并非只是典型的“床加早餐”。The Runaway Jamaica是第一家成功在Kickstarter上得到資助的“床加早餐”理念的品牌。支持者們捐獻(xiàn)了將近47000美元來(lái)幫助它成為現(xiàn)實(shí)。
