Thus Spake Zarathustra: A Book for All and None — Page 6
但这意味着一种可能性,当今的人们若能接受新的价值观,便可以用他们全部的精神与体力将其实现。
But it is meant to be a possibility which men of the present could realise with all their spiritual and physical energies, provided they adopted the new values.
《查拉图斯特拉》的作者始终没有忘记那个关于基督教对一切价值进行重估的惊人先例——借助这一重估,希腊人神化的生活与思想方式,以及强盛的罗马精神,几乎在相当短暂的时间内被彻底摧毁或改变。
The author of "Zarathustra" never lost sight of that egregious example of a transvaluation of all values through Christianity, whereby the whole of the deified mode of life and thought of the Greeks, as well as strong Romedom, was almost annihilated or transvalued in a comparatively short time.
那么,一套经过两千年基督教历练而变得更加精炼深刻的希腊罗马价值体系,难道不能在可预见的时期内再度引发一场类似的革命,直至那一荣耀的人类典范最终降临——那将是我们新的信仰与希望,而查拉图斯特拉正是在召唤我们参与其创造?
Could not a rejuvenated Graeco-Roman system of valuing (once it had been refined and made more profound by the schooling which two thousand years of Christianity had provided) effect another such revolution within a calculable period of time, until that glorious type of manhood shall finally appear which is to be our new faith and hope, and in the creation of which Zarathustra exhorts us to participate?
在作者关于这一主题的私人笔记中,他使用了"超人"这一表达(顺便提一句,始终用单数形式),以此指代"最为健全完善的典型",与"现代人"相对;但最重要的是,他将查拉图斯特拉本人视为超人的典范。
In his private notes on the subject the author uses the expression "Superman" (always in the singular, by-the-bye), as signifying "the most thoroughly well-constituted type," as opposed to "modern man"; above all, however, he designates Zarathustra himself as an example of the Superman.
在《瞧,这个人》中,他特别就这一最高典型降临的先驱条件与前提加以说明,并引用了《快乐的科学》中的一段话:
In "Ecco Homo" he is careful to enlighten us concerning the precursors and prerequisites to the advent of this highest type, in referring to a certain passage in the "Gay Science":—
「为了理解这一典型,我们首先必须对其所依赖的核心生理条件有清醒的认识:这一条件正是我所称之为伟大的健康。」
"In order to understand this type, we must first be quite clear in regard to the leading physiological condition on which it depends: this condition is what I call GREAT HEALTHINESS.
