But he does give us a couple of criteria or features to keep in mind as we look for what true human happiness is. True human happiness should be, as he put it, complete. Complete in that it's all we require. Well, true human happiness, if you had that, what else do you need? Nothing.
但是他给了我们一些标准或特征,让我们在找寻什么是人类真正的幸福的时候牢记在心。人类真正的幸福应该是,如他所说,全面的。幸福的全面性是我们都想要的。如果你拥有了真正的幸福,还有什么别的需要呢?没有。
And second, true happiness should be something that I can obtain on my own. I shouldn't have to rely on other people for it. Many people value fame and seek fame. Fame for them becomes the goal, but according to Aristotle, this won't work either. Because fame depends all together too much on other people, I can't get it on my own without help from other people.
第二,真正的幸福应该是我靠自己就能获得的。我不应该依靠别人来获得幸福。很多人沽名钓誉。对于这些人来讲,名誉即目的,但是,根据Aristotle的理论,名誉也非幸福。因为名誉很大程度上需要靠别人的帮助,没有别人帮助,我得不到它。
In the end, Aristotle says that true happiness is the exercise of reason, a life of intellectual contemplation of thinking. So let's see how he comes to that.
最后,Aristotle说真正的幸福是理解力的练习,是一种缜密思考的生活。下面,我们看看他是怎么得出这个结论的。
