“Overman” & “Will to Power” in Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Published:
This passage from Thus Spoke Zarathustra below reflects Nietzsche’s central philosophical ideas, especially the Übermensch (Overman) and Will to Power.
下面的这段话出自尼采的《查拉图斯特拉如是说》,体现了他“超人哲学(Übermensch)”和“自主意志(Will to Power)”的核心思想。
True growth comes when one abandons blind following and embarks on their own journey of truth. Even Zarathustra, the teacher figure, must be outgrown. – This is what I think Nietzsche wanted to express in this chapter. I hope you will share this with me.
真正的成长在于每个人独立地去追寻真理,而不是永远依赖一个“导师”或“偶像”。追随者要超越被崇拜的对象,哪怕是“查拉图斯特拉”也不该永远被信奉。——这便是我认为尼采想要在此章节中所表达的思想。与诸君共勉。
Now I go alone, my disciples! And you too—go now, each of you, alone in your own way! That is my will.
现在我独自走了,我的弟子们!你们现在各归各独自走吧!这是我的愿望。
Truly, I advise you: leave me, resist Zarathustra! And better yet: feel ashamed of him! Perhaps he has deceived you.
确实,我奉劝你们:离开我,对查拉图斯特拉进行抵制吧!最好是:为他感到羞愧!也许他骗了你们。
One who truly knows must not only love his enemies, but also be able to hate his friends.
有认识的人必须不仅爱他的敌人,而且能恨他的朋友。
To remain a disciple forever is a poor repayment for a teacher. Why do you not tear off my laurel crown?
如果永远做个弟子,这是对老师的不好的报答。你们为什么不想扯掉我的花冠呢?
You revere me; but what if your reverence one day collapses? Beware lest a falling statue crush you!
你们尊敬我;如果有一天你们的崇拜垮掉了,那会怎么样?当心,别让一尊倒下的雕像把你们砸死!
You say you believe in Zarathustra? But what does Zarathustra matter! You are my believers—yet what are all believers!
你们说,你们信仰查拉图斯特拉?可是查拉图斯特拉算什么呢?你们是我的信徒:可是一切信徒又算什么呢!
You have not yet sought your own selves: you found me instead. Thus do all believers. And for that reason, all belief is of little worth.
你们还没有寻求过你们自己:那时你们找到我。一切信徒都是如此;因此一切信仰都没有什么意义。
Now I ask you—lose me and find yourselves. And only when you have all denied me will I return to you.
现在我要求你们,丢开我,寻求你们自己吧;等你们全都不认我,我才愿意再回到你们身边来。
Truly, my brothers, only then shall I seek those I once lost with new eyes; only then shall I love you with a new kind of love.
真的,我的弟兄们,到那时我要用另一种眼光寻找我所失去的人;那时我要用另一种爱来爱你们。
