Thus Spake Zarathustra: A Book for All and None — Page 5
他认为，基督教作为弱者与失败者怨恨情绪的产物，已将一切美丽、强壮、高傲和强大的事物列为禁忌——实际上，就是所有源于力量的品质——因此，一切有助于促进或提升生命的力量都遭到了严重的削弱。
He assumes that Christianity, as a product of the resentment of the botched and the weak, has put in ban all that is beautiful, strong, proud, and powerful, in fact all the qualities resulting from strength, and that, in consequence, all forces which tend to promote or elevate life have been seriously undermined.
然而如今，人类之上必须树立一套新的价值标准——即那位强大、威猛、壮丽之人的价值标准，此人生命盈溢、臻于巅峰——这就是超人，他如今以排山倒海般的激情被置于我们面前，成为我们生命、希望与意志的目标。
Now, however, a new table of valuations must be placed over mankind—namely, that of the strong, mighty, and magnificent man, overflowing with life and elevated to his zenith—the Superman, who is now put before us with overpowering passion as the aim of our life, hope, and will.
正如那套旧有的价值体系——它只颂扬有利于弱者、苦难者和受压迫者的品质——最终成功地造就了一个软弱、痛苦而"现代"的族群，这套新的、反转的价值体系理应培育出一种健康、强壮、充满活力且勇敢的类型，使其成为生命本身的荣耀。
And just as the old system of valuing, which only extolled the qualities favourable to the weak, the suffering, and the oppressed, has succeeded in producing a weak, suffering, and "modern" race, so this new and reversed system of valuing ought to rear a healthy, strong, lively, and courageous type, which would be a glory to life itself.
简而言之，这套新价值体系的核心原则将是："一切源于力量的事物皆为善，一切源于软弱的事物皆为恶。"
Stated briefly, the leading principle of this new system of valuing would be: "All that proceeds from power is good, all that springs from weakness is bad."
这一类型不应被视为凭空想象的虚构形象：它不是一个要在遥远的未来、数千年后才能实现的朦胧希望；它也不是一个（在达尔文意义上的）我们对其一无所知的新物种——否则为之努力便未免显得荒谬。
This type must not be regarded as a fanciful figure: it is not a nebulous hope which is to be realised at some indefinitely remote period, thousands of years hence; nor is it a new species (in the Darwinian sense) of which we can know nothing, and which it would therefore be somewhat absurd to strive after.
