Beyond Good and Evil — Page 1
求真意志——那诱使我们踏上诸多险途的意志，那历来被所有哲学家肃然称颂的著名求真精神——已向我们提出了多少问题！
The Will to Truth, which is to tempt us to many a hazardous enterprise, the famous Truthfulness of which all philosophers have hitherto spoken with respect, what questions has this Will to Truth not laid before us!
多么奇异、令人困惑、令人生疑的问题啊！
What strange, perplexing, questionable questions!
这已是一段漫长的历程，然而似乎才刚刚开始。
It is already a long story; yet it seems as if it were hardly commenced.
倘若我们终于变得疑虑重重、失去耐心、愤而转身离去，这有什么可奇怪的吗？
Is it any wonder if we at last grow distrustful, lose patience, and turn impatiently away?
这斯芬克斯最终教会了我们自己发问？
That this Sphinx teaches us at last to ask questions ourselves?
究竟是谁在这里向我们发问？
WHO is it really that puts questions to us here?
我们内心这所谓的"求真意志"究竟是什么？
WHAT really is this "Will to Truth" in us?
事实上，我们在追究这一意志的起源这个问题上停留了很久——直到最终在一个更为根本的问题面前彻底驻足不前。
In fact we made a long halt at the question as to the origin of this Will--until at last we came to an absolute standstill before a yet more fundamental question.
我们追问的是这一意志的价值。
We inquired about the VALUE of this Will.
假设我们想要真理：为何不宁取非真理呢？
Granted that we want the truth: WHY NOT RATHER untruth?
为何不取不确定性？甚至取无知？
And uncertainty? Even ignorance?
真理之价值这一问题呈现在我们面前——抑或是我们自己走到了这一问题面前？
The problem of the value of truth presented itself before us--or was it we who presented ourselves before the problem?
我们之中谁是俄狄浦斯？谁是斯芬克斯？
Which of us is the Oedipus here? Which the Sphinx?
这似乎是一场问题与问号的幽会。
It would seem to be a rendezvous of questions and notes of interrogation.
而令人难以置信的是，最终在我们看来，这个问题似乎从未被提出过，仿佛我们是第一批发现它、看清它、并敢于将其提出的人。
And could it be believed that it at last seems to us as if the problem had never been propounded before, as if we were the first to discern it, get a sight of it, and RISK RAISING it?
