What I Have Lived For By Bertrand Russell (Paragraph 1) Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair. 三种情感，虽朴实却无比强烈地主宰着我的生命：对爱情的渴望，对知识的求索，以及对人类所遭受苦难的不可遏制的同情。这些激情如同狂风一般，肆意地把我吹向四方，掠过茫茫苦海，又坠落到绝望的边缘。
