It is a commonplace among moralists that you cannot get happiness by pursuing it. This is only true if you pursue it _21_. Gamblers at Monte Carlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead, but there are other ways of pursuing money, which often _22_. So it is with happiness. If you pursue it _23_ drink, you are forgetting the hangover. Epicurus pursued it by living only in congenial society and eating only dry bread, _24_ by a little cheese on feast days. His method proved successful in his case, but he was a valetudinarian (体弱多病的人) and most people would need something more _25_. For most people, the pursuit of happiness, _26_ supplemented in various ways, is too abstract and theoretical to be _27_ as a personal rule of life. But I think that _28_ personal rule of life you may choose it should not, except in rare and heroic cases, be _29_ with happiness.There are a great many people who have all the _30_ conditions of happiness, i.e. health and a sufficient income, and who, _31_, are profoundly unhappy. In such cases it would seem as if the __32_ must lie with a wrong theory as to how to live. In one sense, we may say that any theory as to how to live is wrong. We imagine ourselves more different from the animals than we are. Animals live on _33_, and are happy as long as external conditions are _34_. If you have a cat it will enjoy life if it has food and warmth and opportunities for an _35_ night on the tiles. Your needs are more complex than those of your cat, but they still have their basis in instinct. In civilized societies, especially in English-speaking societies, this is too _36_ to be forgotten. People propose to themselves someone paramount objective, and _37_ all impulses that do not minister to it. A businessman may be so __38_ to grow rich that to this end he __39_ health and private affections. When at last he has become rich, no _40_ remains to him except harrying (折磨) other people by exhortations to imitate his noble example.

我们必须以极大的热情坚持不懈地工作，去跨越科学进步与我们道德进步之间的鸿沟。人类最大的问题之一是我们蒙受精神上的贫困，它与我们科学技术方面的富有形成鲜明的对照。我们在物质上越富有，在道德和精神上就越贫困。每个人都生活在两个世界之中，内心世界和外部世界。内心世界是用艺术、文学、道德和宗教表达的精神目标的世界。外部世界是我们赖以生存的装置、技术、机械和手段的综合。我们今天的问题是我们允许内心世界丧失于外部世界之中。我们允许赖以生存的手段超越生活的目标。这是现代人类面临的严重困境及萦绕心头的重要问题。
