奧斯卡·王爾德(Oscar Wilde)是英國著名的作家、詩人和劇作家,1854年10月出生於愛爾蘭都柏林,1900年11月在巴黎離世,年僅46歲。但是他短暫的一生卻給世人留下了許多經典的作品,尤其那8句警示名言,在現在聽來句句都很「毒舌」啊!
▼我想,上帝在創造人類的時候高估了他的能力。
(I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.)
▼永遠寬恕你的敵人,沒有什麼能比這個讓他們更惱火的了。
(Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.)
▼我什麼都能抗拒,除了誘惑。
(I can resist everything except temptation.)
▼為了贏回我的青春,我什麼都願意做,除了鍛煉、早起、做個對社會有用的人。
(To win back my youth, there is nothing I wouldn't do - except take exercise, get up early, or be a useful member of the community.)
▼年輕的時候,我以為錢是人生最重要的,現在我老了,我懂了,確實如此。
(When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.)
▼人生中只有一件事比被人議論更糟糕,那就是:沒人議論你。
(There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.)
▼時尚就是一種醜陋,因為太難容忍,所以我們必須每半年換一次。
(Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.)
▼我們都在陰溝裡,但有些人在仰望星空。
(We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars)
聽起來都是些充滿了諷刺意味的反心靈雞湯,但是卻句句直戳人心,王爾德一定是看透了這人世間的一切,才能寫出如此深刻的名言。
