英语翻译
Dining one day with Baron James Rothschild,Eugene Delacroix,the famous French artist,confessed that,during some time past,he had vainly sought for a head to serve as a model for that of a beggar in a picture which he was painting; and that,as he gazed at his host's features,the idea suddenly occurred to him that the very head he desired was before him.Rothschild,being a great lover of art,readily consented to sit as the beggar.The next day,at the studio,Delacroix placed a tunic around the baron's shoulders,put a stout staff in his hand,and made him pose as if he were resting on the steps of an ancient Roman temple.In this attitude he was found by one of the artist's favorite pupils,in a brief absence of the master from the room.The youth naturally concluded that the beggar had just been brought in,and with a sympathetic look quietly slipped a piece of money into his hand.Rothschild thanked him simply,pocketed the money,and the student passed out.Rothschild then inquired of the master,and found that the young man had talent,but very slender means.Soon after,the youth received a letter stating that charity bears interest,and that the accumulated interest on the amount he had given to one he supposed to be a beggar was represented by the sum of ten thousand francs,which was awaiting his claim at the Rothschild office.
This illustrates well the art of cheerful amusement even if one has great business cares,—the entertainment of the artist,the personation of a beggar,and an act of beneficence toward a worthy student.[Pg 52]
It illustrates,too,what was said by Wilhelm von Humboldt,that "it is worthy of special remark that when we are not too anxious about happiness and unhappiness,but devote ourselves to the strict and unsparing performance of duty,then happiness comes of itself." We carry each day nobly,doing the duty or enjoying the privilege of the moment,without thinking whether or not it will make us happy.This is quite in accord with the saying of George Herbert,"The consciousness of duty performed gives us music at midnight."
Are not buoyant spirits like water sparkling when it runs?"I have found my greatest happiness in labor," said Gladstone."I early formed a habit of industry,and it has been its own reward.The young are apt to think that rest means a cessation from all effort,but I have found the most perfect rest in changing effort.If brain-weary over books and study,go out into the blessed sunlight and the pure air,and give heartfelt exercise to the body.The brain will soon become calm and rested.The efforts of Nature are ceaseless.Even in our sleep the heart throbs on.I try to live close to Nature,and to imitate her in my labors.The compensation is sound sleep,a wholesome digestion,and powers that are kept at their best; and this,I take it,is the chief reward of industry."

不活跃的精神像波光粼粼的水时,它运行?“我发现我最大的幸福在劳动,”斯通说.“我早期形成了一个习惯,行业,并已自己的奖赏.年轻人容易认为休息是指停止一切努力,但我已经找到了最完美的其他改变的努力.如果大脑疲倦超过书籍和研究,走出去的得天独厚的阳光和纯净的空气,并衷心的机构行使.大脑很快将成为平静和休息.所作的努力自然是不断.即使在我们睡眠的心脏上.我尝试生活亲近自然,并模仿她在我的劳动力.赔偿是合理的睡眠,健康的消化,和权力,保持在最佳状态;与此,我是否可以,是行政奖励的行业.
