Question

如题所述

Answer 1

原文为法文，Constance Borde与Sheila Malovany-Chevallier的译文，"It is man’s luck—in adulthood as in childhood—to be made to take the most arduous roads but the surest ones; woman’s misfortune is that she is surrounded by nearly irresistible temptations; everything incites her to take the easy way out: instead of being encouraged to fight on her own account, she is told that she can let herself get by and she will reach enchanted paradises; when she realizes she was fooled by a mirage, it is too late; she has been worn out in this adventure."
出处在《第二性》The Second Sex (Le Deuxième Sexe) 1949 - 西蒙娜·德·波伏娃（Simone de Beauvoir），第二卷“生活经历”（Volume II "Lived Experience"），第三部分“理由”（Part Three "Justifications"），第12章“恋爱中的女人”（Chapter 12 "The Woman in Love"），第775页（Page 775），“男人的极大幸运在于，他，不论在成年还是在小时候，必须踏上一条极为艰苦的道路，不过这是一条最可靠的道路；女人的不幸则在于被几乎不可抗拒的诱惑包围着；每一种事物都在诱使她走容易走的道理；她不是被要求奋发向上，走自己的路，而是听说只要滑下去，就可以到达极乐的天堂。当她发觉自己被海市蜃楼愚弄时，已经为时太晚，她的力量在失败的冒险中已被耗尽。”（陶铁柱译本）。
