The life I desired
我所追求的生活
That must be the story of innumerable couples,and the pattern of lifeof life it offers has a homely grace.It reminds you of a placid rivulet,meandering smoohtly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees,till at last it falls into the vasty sea;but the sea is so calm,so silent,so infifferent,that you are troubled suddently by a vague uneasiness.Perhaps it is only by a kink in my nature,strong in me even in those days,that i felt in such an existence,the share of the great majority,something amiss.I recognized its social value.I saw its ordered happiness,but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course.There seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights.In my heart was desire to live more dangerously.I was not unprepared for jagged rocks and treacherous,shoals it I could only have change-change and the exicitement of unforeseen.

這一定是世間無數(shù)對夫妻的生活寫照,這種生活模式給人一種天倫之美.它使人想起一條平靜的溪流,蜿蜒暢游過綠茵的草場,濃蔭遮蔽,最后注入煙波浩渺的汪洋大海；但是大海太過平靜,太過沉默,太過不動聲色,你會突然感到莫名的不安.也許這只是我自己的一種怪誕想法,在那樣的時代,這想法對我影響很深：我覺得這像大多數(shù)人一樣的生活,似乎欠缺了一點兒什么.我承認(rèn)這種生活有社會價值,我也看到了它那井然有序的幸福,但我血液里的沖動卻渴望一種更桀驁不馴的旅程．這樣的安逸中好像有一種叫我驚懼不安的東西．我的心渴望一種更加驚險的生活.只要生活中還能有變遷———以及不可知的刺激,我愿意踏上怪石嶙峋的山崖,奔赴暗礁滿布的海灘.
