真实本质(实相)的自发性
The Truth (reality) Of Spontaniety
不论其中的细节和随机应变的成分如何,其实质在于思考的速度和判断的速度。如果那位妇人对Ameer ul-Mu’mineen说,她的丈夫整夜礼拜、白天斋戒,那么迅速理解到这是一种抱怨,便会迅速据此作出判断,因为它是一种抱怨。这就是随机应变。Ameer ul-Mu’mineen当时没有随机应变的反应,因此他把这话当作对丈夫的赞扬。
Regardless of the details and the elements of spontaniety, its reality is the speed of thinking and the speed of judgement. If the woman said to the Ameer ul-Mu’mineen that her husband stands the night in prayer and fasts the day, quick understanding that this is a complaint would lead to a quick judgement based on it being a complaint. This is spontaniety. The Ameer ul-Mu’mineen did not have spontaniety, so he considered this to be praise for the husband.
因此,他既没有理解,也没有根据她的话作出任何判断。其中一位在场者反应敏捷,迅速领会到这句话并非赞美,于是很快判定这句话是一种抱怨。
Thus he did not understand, nor did he make judgement with anything on her statement. One of the attendants had spontaniety when he quickly understood that this statement was not praise, so he was quick in judging this statement as being a complaint.
因此,他具有自发性。
Therefore, he had spontaniety.
因此,自发性的实质在于迅速理解言语、行为或其他事物,并对其作出快速的判断。
Thus, the reality of spontaniety is in the speed in understanding the speech, the action, or anything else, and quick judgement on it.
这种理解的速度与判断的速度,就是所谓的"自发性"。人们可能会以为,快速理解就等于快速判断,但实际上,快速理解只是为判断做准备,它本身并不是判断。那位服务员把那句话理解为一种抱怨,这一理解使他随即把它判定为抱怨。然而,这种理解不是判断,而仅仅是理解。在判断作出之前的理解,不需要任何反应或回应,它只是一种理解。只有当判断作出之后,行动才会随之发生,事情也才因此得以了结。判断的依据和结果都在于判断本身,而不在于理解。
This speed of understanding and speed of judgement is spontaniety. It might occur to the mind that quick understanding is quick judgement, but the reality is that quick understanding prepares for the judgement; it is not the judgement itself. The fact that the attendant understood that statement as being a complaint prepared him to judge on it as a complaint. This understanding was not the judgement, it was rather the understanding only. The understanding before the issuance of the judgement does not need any reaction or response. Rather it is an understanding only. If there was a judgement, then action took place and the matter was settled. The basis and the result are in the judgement and not the understanding.
理解仅仅是一个理性的过程。那位具有敏捷反应的人理解到这位妇人在谈论她的丈夫;他理解到她是在对埃米尔·穆米宁说话,因此理性的过程在他身上发生,他理解到这是一项申诉。于是,判断是理解的结果,而理解仅仅是一个理性的过程。因此,必须先有敏捷的理解和敏捷的判断,然后才能作出裁决,从而使敏捷反应得以存在。由此,敏捷反应就是敏捷的理解紧接着敏捷的判断。如此,敏捷反应便得以存在。据此,敏捷反应的实质就是敏捷的理解与敏捷的判断,其方式是:敏捷的理解为判断或敏捷的判断做好准备。因此,它必须先于判断,而不是在判断之后。判断不能舍弃它,尽管它的存在表明判断的存在。
Understanding is only a rational process. The man who had spontaniety understood that this woman spoke about her husband; he understood that she spoke to the Ameer ul-Mu’mineen, so the rational process occurred in him in understanding that this was a complaint. Thus, the judgement was the result of understanding, and understanding was only a rational process. Therefore, there must be quick understanding and quick judgement before issuing the judgement, so that spontaniety exists. Thus, spontaniety is quick understanding followed immediately by quick judgement. In such a way spontaniety exists. Accordingly, the reality of spontaniety is quick understanding and quick judgement, in such a way that quick understanding would prepare for the judgement or quick judgement. Therefore, it must precede rather than come after the judgement. Judgement cannot dispense with it, though its presence indicates the presence of judgement.
如果理解是必要的,那么判断也是必要的。若理解存在,判断必定存在。因此,根本在于理解。若欧麦尔·本·哈塔布理解了那位妇人是在向丈夫抱怨,他就会把她的话听作一种申诉。然而他把它听成了赞扬,因此没有留意她的困境。于是情况依旧如故,她的抱怨毫无用处;因为她虽然抱怨了,但她所用的措辞,是她所控诉的对象所不能理解的。
If understanding is necessary, then judgement is also necessary. If the understanding existed, then definitely judgement existed. Thus, the origin is the understanding. Had Omar bin al-Khattab understood that the woman complained about her husband, he would have heard her statement as a complaint. He heard it however as praise and therefore he did not take notice of her problem. So, the situation remained as it had been and her complaint was of no use; for though she complained, she however complained with an expression not understood by the one whom she complained to.
因此,她的申诉没有被听取。由于对该申诉缺乏即时的回应,这份申诉被搁置而未被重视,仿佛从未存在过。因此,应当理解她的意图是申诉而非赞扬,这样才能真正实现对该申诉的理解。
That is why her complaint was not heard. Due to the absence of spontaniety towards that complaint, the complaint was abandoned and not observed, as if it had not existed. Therefore, it should have been understood that she meant to complain and not praise, in order for the understanding of the complaint to have been realised.
这一点在实际生活中很重要:有些人羞于明说自己的不满,或者担心自己的申诉会被驳回。因此,应当对这类人采取灵活变通的方式,以帮助他们实现其目的。那位妇人的目的是消除加在她身上的不公,而这种不公除了信士们的长官之外没有人能够消除。欧麦尔·本·哈塔卜的目的则是为信士们消除不公,因为他是信士们的长官。
This is important practically with people who are shy of expressing complaints explicitly, or they fear that the complaint may be rejected. Therefore, spontaniety should be employed with the people so as to fulfil their aims. The aim of the woman was to remove the injustice from her, which no one could remove except the Ameer ul-Mu’mineen. The aim of Omar bin al-Khattab was to remove the injustice from the people, as Ameer to the Mu’mineen.
然而,他并没有理解她是在诉说她的丈夫,因此他没有达到消除不公的目的。
He, however, did not understand that she complained about her husband and so he did not achieve his aim in removing the injustice.
相反,这种不公依旧如故。于是丈夫仍旧彻夜礼拜、白日封斋,而妻子则被剥夺了夫妻之间的关系与权利。
Rather the injustice remained as it had been. So the husband continued to stand the night in prayer and fast the day and the woman remained deprived of her marital relationship and rights.
因此,由于缺乏自发性,不公正便依然存在。所以,有必要理解自发性的实质:它是迅速的理解,也是迅速的判断。
Thus, as a result of the absence of spontaniety the injustice remained. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the reality of spontaniety, that it is quick understanding and quick judgement.
除非以这种方式理解,否则它就不会存在。其结果将是不公正的出现,以及陷入危险的风险。因此,必须理解自发性的实质,它才能够存在。
Unless it is understood in this manner, it will not exist. The result of this will be the presence of injustice and the risk of falling into danger. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the reality of spontaniety so that it exists.
