2014年6月英語六級翻譯練習(xí)：民主的思索

　　請將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

　　要使民主得以存在，善于思索的人與敏于行動的人都必須去除傲慢與偏見;他們 要有勇氣、有全心全意的獻身精神，最重要的是要有謙虛精神，去尋求與傳播那 使人民永保自由的真理。 朝著上述目標，我們會尋找到個人的平靜，那不是歇息而是經(jīng)過努力奮斗后的平 靜;我們會對自己的有所作為感到由衷的滿意;為取得力所不能及的成就而感到 深深喜悅;懂得了我們所創(chuàng)造的遠比我們所知道的要更為輝煌燦爛。

　　參考譯文：

　　If democracy is to survive, it is the task of men of thought, as well as men at action, to put aside pride and prejudice, and with courage and single-minded devotion—and above all with humility—to find the truth and teach the truth that shall keep men free.We may find in that sense of purpose,the personal peace,not f repose,but of effort,the keen satisfaction of doing,the deep feeling of achievement for something far beyond ourselves,the knowledge that we build more gloriously than we know.
