This is what Siddhartha has learned among the Samanas.

这就是悉达多从那里学东西。

Eventually Gautama became an ascetic, fasting and meditating for days at a time, hoping to find enlightenment.

最终，乔达摩成为了，一次禁食和冥想几天，希望找启蒙。

I am still a Samana, he thought, I am still an ascetic and beggar.

我还是个沙门，他想，我仍然是一个和乞丐。

He traveled across many countries and lived among various groups of ascetics, but after years of searching, he found his quest to be fruitless.

他游历了许多国家，与各种不同体生活过，但经过多年寻找，他发现自己追求只是徒劳。

He read sermons on discipline, and hunted up passages in Church history that treated of the Ascetics of the second century.

他阅读了关于纪律布道， 并在教会历史上寻找了关于二世纪段落。

Suddenly, pride flared up in him. He was no Samana any more, it was no longer becoming to him to beg.

突然，他骄傲涌了上来。他已经不再是了，乞讨对他来说不再合适。

Now Siddhartha also got some idea of why he had fought this self in vain as a Brahman, as a penitent.

现在悉达多也明白为什么他作为婆罗门和时，与自我斗争是徒劳。

All tales and answers, which the two young ascetics had received in their search for Gotama's abode, had pointed them towards this area.

两位年轻在寻找乔达摩住所过程中，所听所有故事和所有答案都指向了这个区域。

He was not an ascetic; he enjoyed the good things of the world, and was careful to teach his converts cooking as well as catechism.

他不是；他享受世界上美好事物，并细心地教他皈依烹饪和教理问答。

At first, the student was open to debate, doubting much of what the farmer said, thinking he was similar to the other ascetics the student had met in the past.

起初，学生对辩论持开放态度，对农夫说很多话表示怀疑，认为他与学生过去遇其他差不多。

But as a young man, I followed the penitents, lived in the forest, suffered of heat and frost, learned to hunger, taught my body to become dead.

但年轻时，我追随，住在森林里，忍受酷热和严寒，学会了忍饥挨饿，让身体变麻木无感。

He scoffs at the monks who claim that the plague is divine punishment and pities the penitence with their crosses and relics whipping themselves census with scourges.

他嘲笑那些声称瘟疫是天谴僧侣，并怜悯那些手持十字架和圣物鞭笞自己。

In fact, the ascetics and flagellants of the world belong nowhere in the main stream of civilization — and are of dubious utility and service in any civilization.

事实上，世界上和鞭笞不属于文明主流——而且在任何文明中都具有可疑效用和服务。

In a desperate attempt to gain consolation of some sort he took to sitting at the feet of a wandering ascetic, and succeeded in acquiring philosophy enough to forget that his children went hungry.

为了获某种安慰，他拼命地坐在一个游荡脚下，并成功地获了足以忘记他孩子们挨饿哲学。

You see, Yuta was a downer, a very no fun ever type of person, and she was an extreme practitioner of asceticism, so she believed in partaking in none of the world's pleasures, and I mean none.

你看，Yuta是个扫兴人， 那种永远无趣类型，而她又是个极端，所以她相信完全不参与世间任何享乐，我是说，任何享乐。

And he remembered how he, a long time ago, as a young man, had forced his father to let him go to the penitents, how he had bed his farewell to him, how he had gone and had never come back.

他想起了很久以前，作为一个年轻人，他是如何迫使父亲让他去追随，他是如何向父亲告别，又是如何离开并且再也没有回来。

There was something ascetic in her look, which was augmented by the extreme plainness of a straight-skirted, black, stuff dress, a starched linen collar, hair combed away from the temples, and the nun-like ornament of a string of ebony beads and a crucifix.

她神情中透着一丝气息，这在她那身直筒裙式黑色呢料裙装、硬挺亚麻领子、紧贴鬓角发型，以及修女般装饰——一串乌木念珠和一个十字架上了强化。

I subsidized wandering story-tellers, who told tales in which the opal played a frightful part; I hired a holy man, a great ascetic, to prophesy against the thing in the language of Eastern symbolism; in short, I frightened the Rajah out of his wits.

我资助流浪说书人，他们讲故事中蛋白石扮演了可怕角色；我聘请了一位圣人，一位伟大，用东方象征主义语言来预言反对这件事；简而言之，我把王公吓魂飞魄散。
