Well-known saying
• The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy - I mean that if you are happy you will be good. • It is a waste of energy to be angry with a man who behaves badly, just as it is to be angry with a car that won't go • Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric. ——By Bertrand Russell
Structural analysis of the text —Lucy
• para1-5 :the phenomenon that people in English speaking countries didn’t feel happy • Para 6-12 :the 2 reasons of this phenomenon
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)伯特兰•罗素 British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, social reformist, and pacifist. Russell has been considered one of the founders of analytic philosophy.
The right order
• The right order should be the opposite that is life and work. • I want to say that we are born to be good workers, we are given the most flexible hands, as well as comparatively the biggest brain. We can do a lot of things that are unimaginable to the rest animals, but that doesn’t mean that we are born to be a worker, my answer is we are born to testify the best glory of life itself. Working is only a way to present that, when we put them two in the right order, I think we will not only search for a temporary sense of achievement in our work, and we will not be the next Phil, right?
It is required by etiquette to appear happy in some social activities, and the essential cheerfulness is prompted by drinking alcohol. 4.But the gaiety dose not ring true and anybody who has just one drink too many is apt to lapse into lachrymose melancholy. But the happiness dose not sound true and too many people who have just had one drink tend to be sad. 5.Who decreed that cheerfulness must cease forthwith. Who ordered that cheerfulness must stop at once.
The purpose
• the author informs us 2 points of seeking happiness. (1)We cannot take delight depending on excelling (超越) others. The happiness of others will not prevent us from feeling happy. (2)We don’t need to confide ourselves into boxes. you should have times to merely enjoy life without a thought of subsequent gain( the results followed).
6.And so you are condemned to gastric ulcers and premature old age. And you are announced to have gastric ulcers and to come into old age early. 7.Your former friends whom you are learning to cold-shoulder. Cold-shoulder: to treat unsympathetically 8.Your doctrine is one which would uproot all the sources of morality and loosen all the bonds which hold the society together. Your principle is one which would pull all the sources of morality out.
9.In a life which is to be healthy and happy, impulse, though not allowed to run riot, must have sufficient scope to remain alive and to preserve that diversity of interest which is natural to a human being. If you want your life to be healthy and happy, when you keep impulse under control, you have to give it enough room to make your interest various and diversified so that you can be a natural human being. 10.A life which is all principle is a life on rail.
• His major works include Principia Mathematic, 3 vols.(1910-1913), and A History of Western Philosophy (1945). • He was twice imprisoned for activities associated with his advocacy of pacifism (1918), and with the antinuclear movement (1961). • He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950.
• In first part, people didn’t feel happy although they are rich. Life for everyone is a long competition which we failed most of the time. • In second part, the author talked about 2 reasons of the phenomenon. (1) in some organizations, it’s necessary for people’s obedience (2) people act not on what they really want but some false(虚伪的)principles .
