Passage One
FAO‘s favorite myth used to be that the (fictitious虚构的) protein gap was being rapidly closed by the new fisheries. While fish production has indeed tripled since 1945, an appalling 45 percent of the current catch goes to the rich nations as oil or meal for industry or farm animals. Of the world fishery catch which is eaten, only a quarter goes to the developing nations.
Today the oceans are up for grabs and as more nations invest in distant-water fleets, the depressing history of stocks fished out of existence seems likely to be repeated many times. While a world catch of double the present level would probably be sustainable (mainly by exploiting squid and fish not eaten at present) the likelihood is that catches will in fact triple over the next decade, and fall disastrously after that. The world community‘s failure to regulate whaling, in spite of the 1972 Stockholm environment conference‘s call for a ten-year moratorium, is a depressing omen.

37 The international fishery situation today is that ____.

人们对不美好的、令人失望的事物可能抱三种态度：理想主义、现实主义和犬儒主义。有研究者发现，这三种人生态度会分别在青年、中年、老年时期特别有影响。
人在十几、二十来岁的年轻时期，往往倾向于理想主义，特别有正义感。一旦碰到不公不义、龌龊丑恶之事，便充满了愤怒，理想化地想要对它进行彻底的纠正。打倒孔家店，推翻封建礼教，消灭封、资、修，占领华尔街，都是年轻人在那里冲锋陷阵。
中年的务实理想主义者希望能尽自己的力量做一些有益的事情：公益活动、议论时事、参与民间团体的活动等等。他们很清楚自己所贡献的不过是绵薄之力，在有生之年也不可能期待实现多少实质性的变化。
中年的犬儒主义者则不同，他们会认为，这世界太丑恶，人心太坏，个人不可能改变这种状况，所以不值得为之付出努力。既然如此，还不如随波逐流，有机会的就大捞一把。
有这种机会的毕竟只是极少数当上官的，大多数的中年犬儒会愤世嫉俗、玩世不恭、得过且过、难得糊涂。碰到世道不平之事，他们只会冷漠地袖手旁观。为了平息自己的良心责备，他们甚至还会站在加害者的立场上去责怪受害者——倒霉一定有倒霉的理由，谁叫他们自己拎不清，不当心，自作自受，咎由自取。
老年是最容易落入犬儒主义的人生阶段，一个人年岁越长，人生阅历也就越多。老年人可以变得更智慧，但也可能变得更犬儒。

旁观者，如立于东岸，观西岸之火灾，而望其红光以为乐。如立于此船观彼船之沉溺，而睹其凫浴以为欢。若是者，谓之阴险也不可，谓之狠毒也不可。此种人无以名之，名之曰无血性。嗟乎，血性者，人类之所以生，世界之所以立也。无血性则是无人类无世界也。故旁观者，人类之蟊贼，世界之仇敌也。
人生于天地之间，各的责任。知责任者，大丈夫之始也。行责任者，大丈夫之终也。自放弃其责任，则是自放弃所以为人之责也。是故人也者，对于一家而有一家之责任，对于一国而有一国之责任，对于世界而有世界之责任。一家之人各各自放弃其责任，则家必落。一国之人各各自放弃其责任，则国必亡。全世界人人各各自放弃其责任，则世界必毁。旁观云者，放弃责任之谓也。
一分耕耘一分收获。加油！
