WHEN Zarathustra was thirty years old, he left his home and the lake of his home, and went into the mountains. There he enjoyed his spirit and his solitude, and for ten years did not weary of it. But at last his heart changed,- and rising one morning with the rosy dawn, he went before the sun, and spake thus unto it:

    For ten years hast thou climbed hither unto my cave: thou wouldst have wearied of thy light and of the journey, had it not been for me, mine eagle, and my serpent.
    當(dāng)查拉圖斯特拉三十歲的時(shí)候，他離開了自己的家，離開了家中的湖泊，跑去了山里。他在這里盡情地享受著他的精神和孤寂，在十年的時(shí)間里，他從未感到厭煩。但是最終，他改變了心意——有一天清晨他在破曉時(shí)分就起了床，他來(lái)到太陽(yáng)的面前，然后對(duì)太陽(yáng)說(shuō)出了以下這些話：
    “偉大的星球�。√热裟切┍荒阏樟恋娜藗兌枷�失了，那么你還會(huì)擁有什么快樂(lè)啊！”
    “在這十年間，你總是來(lái)拜訪我的山洞；倘若沒(méi)有我，我的老鷹還有我的蛇，你肯定會(huì)對(duì)你那耀眼的光芒以及這段旅程感到無(wú)聊至極�！�
