But most of us apparently...

...of both, the past,

Surely fear is a movement away from “what is”,
确实，恐惧是对“现在是什么”的一种逃离行为，

So fear is a movement away from the actual - the 'what is',

the movement, not the object to which you escape.
恐惧是一种活动，而不是你逃避的那个对象。

And fear comes about through comparison.
恐惧来自于比较。

And there is the fear,

I hope you are following all this.

It isn’t a game I am playing with you,
这不是我在跟你玩的一场游戏，

nor you playing a game with me.

We are considering very serious problems...

or comparing what is being said with what you already know -

Therefore you prevent yourself from actually listening.

...implies that you give your whole attention -
...意味着你要付出全部的注意力，

it doesn’t mean you agree or disagree,

because there is no agreement or disagreement...

...when we are exploring together.

So we are trying to examine...

...this whole question of fear,

because fear deadens the mind,

How can a mind that is afraid, love?
一颗恐惧的心怎么可能去爱呢？

A mind that depends, what can it know of joy, except fear?
如果一颗心有所依赖，那它除了恐惧之外怎么可能知道什么是喜悦呢？

So...

there are conscious as well as hidden fears.
既有意识到的，也有潜藏的恐惧。

How do you -first enquiry -

the speaker is only pointing out.

How does it happen that the hidden fears are opened,

...exposed?
这是怎么发生的？

One can know the conscious fears...

...and how to deal with them will come presently.
...并且很快就知道该如何处理它们。

But there are the hidden fears,
但是还有潜藏的恐惧，

perhaps much more important.
或许那些要重要的多。

So how will you deal with them,
所以，你们要如何处理它们，

how will you expose them?
如果揭露它们？

Would you permit me to take my coat off? You don’t mind?
你们允许我把外套脱下来吗？你们不介意？

So we are considering,
我们在考虑的是，

how the deep layers of fear, hidden, can be exposed.
隐藏的深层次恐惧，要怎样揭示出来。

Can they be exposed through analysis -
能通过分析揭示出来吗？

analysing them, seeing their causes?
分析它们，看清它们的原因？

Will analysis free the mind from fear,
分析能够把心灵从恐惧中解放吗？

not a particular neurotic fear but...
不是从某种特定的神经质恐惧，而是...

...the whole of fear, the whole structure of fear ?analysis?
...从整个恐惧，从恐惧的整个结构中解脱-用分析可以吗？

In analysis is implied, not only time,

taking many, many, many days, years, whole of one’s life,
花费许多天，许多年，花费一个人的整个生命，

at the end of it perhaps you may understand a little...

...but you are ready for the grave.

And also in analysis implies the analyser.

Who is the analyser? Is he the professional,
谁是分析者呢？他是拥有学位的专家、

the expert, who has a degree,
或者内行吗？

going to analyse your deep, hidden fears?
打算分析你深藏的恐惧？

And he will also take time,
他也要花时间，

and therefore also your money.
而且要花你的钱。

So analysis implies the analyser who is the censor,

who is the result of many forms of conditioning.
而他正是诸多形式的局限的产物。

And he's going to analyse...
他要分析...

...the fear which he himself has created.
...他自己制造出来的恐惧。

Right?
对不对？

I hope you are following all this,
我希望你们跟上了，

because our intention is...

...that when you do leave this rather warm hall,
...在你离开这个相当温暖的会堂时，

...that you no longer have any form of fear.

It can be done.

you'll know what tremendous joy is,

a mind that is completely free...

...of this terrible thing called fear.
...它完全摆脱了那个叫做恐惧的可怕的东西。

And to be free of that, you..
要想从中解脱，你们...

we have to walk together,
我们必须一起上路，

you are going to work as hard as the speaker is working.
你们要像讲话者一样努力。

So analysis implies time and analyser.
所以说，分析意味着时间和分析者。

Please see the truth of this,
请看清这个事实，

not your opinion as opposed to the speaker’s opinion...
不是你的观点与讲话者的观点对立...

or somebody else’s opinion or knowledge -
也不和其他人的观点或者知识对立，

see the truth of it, that it takes time.
而是看清这个真相，即，分析需要时间。

And the interval between that which you are analysing...
你正在分析的东西，和分析的结束...

...and the ending of that, will involve time and therefore...
...之间有个时间间隔，会涉及到时间，所以...

...many other factors which give it a different direction.
...很多其他的因素会把分析引向另一个方向。

The analyser is a fragment among many other fragments...
分析者是诸多碎片中的一个...

...which go to make up the “me”, the “me”, the ego.
...这些碎片构成了“我”，自我。

So he becomes the analyser,
所以他就变成了分析者，

assumes the authority of the analyser,
担任起分析者的职责，

and his analysis must be complete each time,
而他的分析必须每次都是完全的，

otherwise what is the point of analysis at all?
否则这分析还有什么意义？

So analysis, which implies time and division...
所以，分析意味着时间和分裂...

...is not the ending of fear.
...它不会终止控制。

Is this somewhat clear?
这么说清楚一点了吗？

To see this means that you have completely put aside...
明白了这一点，意味着你已经把...

...the whole idea of progressive change,
...渐进式的改变这个想法完全抛弃掉了，

because the very factor of change is...
因为改变这个因素本身正是...

...one of the major causes of fear.
...恐惧的主要原因之一。

Are you all being mesmerised?
你们都被催眠了吗？

Because to me, to the speaker, this is a very important thing,
因为对我来说，对讲话者来说，这是非常重要的事情，

therefore he feels very strongly,
所以他的感觉很强烈，

he speaks intensely, he is not doing propaganda -
他热情地演讲，他不是在做宣传-

there is nothing for you to join,
没有什么要你们加入进来的事情，

nothing for you to believe;
没有什么要你们相信的东西，

but to observe and learn...
只是去观察去了解...

...and be free of this fear.
...并从恐惧中解脱。

So analysis is not the way.
而分析不是这样的。

Do you understand what that means...
你明白这是什么意思吗，

...when you see the truth of that?
当你看到了这个事实？

It means that you are no longer thinking in terms of the analyser,
那意味着你再也不作为一个分析者思考了，

who is going to examine, who is going to analyse,
那分析者会检验，会分析，

who is going to judge, evaluate,
会评判，会评价，

therefore your mind is free of a particular burden called analysis,
于是你的心灵从一种叫做分析的负担中解脱了出来，

therefore it is capable of looking directly.
于是它就能够直接地观察了。

And...
然后...

If analysis is not the way and therefore false,
如果分析不是正确的而是错误的方式，

how are you to look at this fear?
你要怎样来看这恐惧？

How are you to bring out all the structure,
你要怎样引出恐惧那所有

all the hidden parts of fear?
潜藏的部分和结构？

Through dreams?

Dreams are the continuation of waking hours, through sleep -
梦是通过睡眠，醒着的时间的一种继续，

Aren’t they?
难道不是吗？

Are you following all this?
你们跟上了吗？

I don’t know if you have observed...
我不知道你是否已经观察到...

...that in dreams there is always action,
...梦里总是有行为，

...doing something or something is happening,
...在做着什么事，或者发生着什么，

which is the same in the waking hours,
这和醒着的时候是一样的，

a continuation of the waking hours,
是醒着的时间的一种继续，

when there is sleep, through dreams -

it is still part of the whole movement.
它还是整个运动的一部分。

So...
所以...

...dreams have no value.
...梦是没有价值的。

Are you accepting all this?
你们能接受所有这些吗？

Great Scott, I hope...
哎呀！我希望...

I’m sure you don’t ?but doesn’t matter.
我肯定你们并不接受-但是没关系。

Because you see what is happening,
因为你看到正在发生着什么，

we are eliminating the things to which you are accustomed:
我们在消除你已经习惯了的东西：

analysis, dreams, will,
分析，梦，意志，

time,
时间，

so that when you eliminate,
当你清除这些东西时，

the mind becomes extraordinarily sensitive.
心灵变得格外敏感。

And through this elimination...
通过这种清除...

...it has become not only sensitive, but...
心灵不仅仅变得敏感，而且...

...intelligent.
...变得智慧。

Now with that sensitivity and intelligence...

...we are going to look at fear. Right?
...我们来看看恐惧。好吗？

Are we going together?
我们还在一起吗？

You know this is great fun, if you really go into this,
如果你真的深入其中的话，你会发现这很有趣，

because then you turn away, you turn your back on...
因为接着你拒绝了，丢弃了...

...the whole of the social structure in which time,
...这整个社会结构，

analysis, will is in operation.
而在这个结构中，时间、分析在运作着。

So what is fear?
那么恐惧是什么？

What is fear, how does it come?
恐惧是什么，它是怎么产生的？

Fear is always in relation to something,
恐惧总是与某种东西有关，

it doesn’t exist by itself:
它并不单独存在：

in relation to something that is permanent...
和某种永恒的东西有关...

...to another thing that is also permanent.
...和另一种也是永恒的东西有关。

Right?
对不对？

There is fear of what happened yesterday,
有对昨天发生了什么的恐惧，

the repetition of that tomorrow,
害怕明天会重复，

whether it is pain or some other form,
不管那是痛苦还是其他形式，

there is always a fixed point from which relationship takes place.
总是有一个定点，从那里生发出了关系。

We’ll go into that, in a little while; in a minute.
我们过一小会，过一分钟将深入探讨这个问题。

So as we were saying,
所以我们说的是，

fear exists only in relationship with some other thing,
恐惧只有在和别的东西相关时才会存在，

otherwise there is no fear...
否则就没有恐惧...

...related to the past -
...和过去相关-

the memory of the past pain and not wanting that,
对过去痛苦的记忆以及不想再要那痛苦，

the repetition of that pain tomorrow or today -
不想明天或者今天重复那痛苦-

relation to something that has happened.

You have had pain yesterday,
你昨天有痛苦，

that is obvious, you have had it.
很明显，你有过。

Or there is some hope tomorrow which might not come about.
或者你对明天有种希望，那希望可能不会实现。

So there is fear of yesterday,
所以有对昨天的恐惧，

there is fear of tomorrow.
也有对明天的恐惧。

How does that fear come about?
这恐惧是怎么发生的？

You are asking the question, not I.
是你在问这个问题，不是我。

So you are working hard.
所以你得努力。

I’ve had pain yesterday, obviously,
显然，我昨天有痛苦，

and there is the memory of it,
有对它的记忆，

and...
然后...

...not wanting it again tomorrow.

How does fear come into this?
恐惧是怎么到这儿的？

Thinking about the pain of yesterday, thinking,
回想昨天的痛苦，记起

the memory of yesterday’s pain
昨天痛苦的记忆，

projects the fear of tomorrow,
投射了对明天的恐惧，

of having pain again tomorrow.
害怕明天还有有痛苦。

So thought brings about fear. Right?
所以是思想带来了恐惧。对不对？

No? You're following this?
不是吗？你跟上了吗？

Thought brings about fear, breeds fear,
思想带来了恐惧，滋生了恐惧，

and also thought cultivates pleasure.
思想也产生了快乐。

To understand fear you must also understand pleasure,
要想了解恐惧，你必须也要了解快乐，

because they are interrelated,
因为它们是互相关联的，

without understanding one, you can’t understand the other,
不明白其中之一，你就不能明白另一个，

...which is, you can’t say...
...你不能说...

“I must have only pleasure and no fear”,
“我必须只要快乐不要恐惧”，

because fear is the other side of the coin which is called pleasure.
因为恐惧是快乐这个硬币的另一面。

Right? We are following each other?
对不对？我们跟上对方了吗？

So there was pleasure yesterday,
所以昨天有快乐，

sexual or different kinds of pleasures,
性方面的或者其他类型的快乐，

you think about it, the image, chew the cud of pleasure,
你回忆起那快乐，那意象，反刍那快乐，

which is thinking about it.
也就是回味着它。

你明天可能不会拥有那快乐。

So thought...
所以说思想...

...engenders fear.
...产生了恐惧。

I think that’s fairly clear, isn’t it?
我想这相当清楚，是不是？

So thought not only sustains pleasure,
所以说，思想不只是维持快乐，

it also nourishes fear,
它也滋生恐惧，

and thought has separated itself as the analyser,
思想把自己作为分析者分离开了，

the thing to be analysed is also part of thought.
被分析之物也是思想的一部分。

So it is playing tricks upon itself.
所以它是在欺骗自己。

So then the question is:
那么接下来的问题是：

if thought is doing all this,
如果思想在造作这一切，

thought that refuses to examine the hidden...
思想拒绝检视那隐藏的...

...unconscious fears,
...没意识到的恐惧，

the thought that has set the analyser...

...separate from the thing to be analysed,
...把自己和被分析之物分离开来，

thought that has brought in time...

...as a means of escaping fear, but sustaining fear,
...作为逃避恐惧的手段，实际上却滋养了恐惧，

and thought also nourishing pleasure,
思想也滋养了快乐，

which has nothing whatsoever to do with joy,
这快乐与喜悦没有任何关系，

because joy is not the product of thought,

it is not pleasure.

You can cultivate pleasure,
你可以滋养快乐，

you can think about it endlessly...
你可以不停地回想它...

...and derive great pleasure,
...制造巨大的快乐，

but you can’t do that with joy.
但是对于喜悦，你无法那么做。

The moment you do that, it has gone.
你做的那一瞬间，喜悦就消失了。

It has become something from which you derive pleasure...
那就变成了你寻求快乐的一种方式...

...and therefore which you are afraid to lose.
...你因此害怕失去。

So thought is responsible for both pleasure, pain, fear.
所以思想对快乐、痛苦和恐惧都要负责。

And also thought is afraid of being completely lonely.
而且思想也害怕完全孤独。

Thought has already condemned it,
思想已经谴责了孤独，

and so thought invents a way of escaping from that loneliness...

...through various forms of religious entertainment...
...通过各种形式的宗教娱乐来逃避...

...or cultural something or other,
...或者通过文化的以及其他的方式，

the everlasting search for...
...永远在追求...

...deeper and wider dependencies.

So thought is responsible.
所以说思想要为此负责。

Then what is one to do?
那么一个人该怎么做呢？

You understand all this, I hope.
我希望，这些你们都明白了。

What is one to do when one realises that thought,
如果一个人认识到了，思想是针对大大小小的挑战，

which is the response of memory...
根据记忆做出的反应...

...to any challenge, minor or major,
...这思想维系了快乐和恐惧，

which sustains both pleasure and fear,
那么他应该做些什么呢？

these are all facts, not the speaker’s invention,
这是都是事实，不是讲话者的发明，

or his peculiar philosophy or theory,
不是他特殊的哲学或者理论，

these are absolute daily observable facts.
这些都是日常可以观察到的绝对事实。

Then the next question is, what is one to do?
那么下一个问题就是，他该做什么呢？

There is thought...
思想是存在的...

And if you think from that centre...

...and observe from that centre, fear,

you抮e still caught in fear,

because that centre has separated itself...

Therefore there is the ending of fear,
于是恐惧就终止了，

both the hidden and the open.
不管是隐藏的，还是显露的恐惧。
