第三部:为他存在 (Being-for-others)
第三章:具体的人际关系 (Concrete Relations with Others)
中英文对照 (Bilingual Text)
English:
Love is the attempt to possess the Other’s freedom without destroying it. I want the Other to love me freely, yet I also want to secure that love, to make it mine. This contradiction is insoluble.
中文:
爱,是一种试图占有他人的自由而又不去毁灭它的努力。我希望他人自由地爱我,但同时我又想要把这种爱固定下来,使它成为属于我的东西。这个矛盾是无法解决的。
English:
Desire is the attempt to incarnate the Other’s subjectivity in their body. It aims to possess the Other as object while affirming them as subject.
中文:
欲望,是试图通过他人的身体来具现其主体性。它一方面要把他人当作客体占有,另一方面又在承认对方是主体。
English:
Hatred seeks to reduce the Other entirely to objecthood, to deny their freedom. Indifference seeks to annihilate the Other’s significance altogether.
中文:
仇恨,意在把他人完全降格为客体,否认他们的自由。冷漠,则试图彻底抹去他人的意义。
简要总结 (Summary)
- 爱 (Love):想要对方自由地爱我,同时又想占有对方 → 内在矛盾。
- 欲望 (Desire):身体是冲突的场所 → 对方既是主体又是客体。
- 恨 (Hatred):试图把他人彻底物化。
- 冷漠 (Indifference):否定他人对我的任何意义。
(Love tries to secure free affection; desire oscillates between subject and object; hatred reduces the Other to an object; indifference denies the Other’s meaning. All are modes of conflict.)
问答 (Q&A)
问:为什么爱情是矛盾的?
答 (中文):因为爱要求对方自由地给予,但同时我又想确保这种爱属于我。这两者无法调和。
Answer (English): Because love demands that the Other give freely, yet I also want to secure that love as mine. These two cannot be reconciled.
问:欲望和爱有什么不同?
答 (中文):爱更多强调自由和承认,欲望则通过身体来体现主体与客体的矛盾。
Answer (English): Love emphasizes freedom and recognition, while desire expresses the subject-object tension through the body.
问:为什么萨特认为恨和冷漠也是人际关系?
答 (中文):因为它们也是面对他人自由时的一种反应。恨是否认他人自由,冷漠是否认他人意义。
Answer (English): Because they are also responses to the Other’s freedom. Hatred denies the Other’s freedom, while indifference denies their significance.
