听力原文及翻译
The founding fathers of the United States were inspired by the philosophy. George Washington was introduced to stoicism by his neighbors at age 17 and later put on a play based on the life of Cato to inspire his men. Thomas Jefferson kept a copy of Seneca beside his bed. Writers and artists have also been inspired by the Stoics.
美国的开国元勋们都受到斯多葛哲学的启发。乔治·华盛顿 17 岁时在邻居的介绍下接触了斯多葛主义，后来他根据卡托的生平创作了一部戏剧来激励他的手下。托马斯·杰斐逊在床边放了一本塞涅卡的作品。作家和艺术家也受到斯多葛学派的启发。
Eugene Delacroix, the renowned French romantic artist known best for his painting Liberty Leading the People, was an ardent stoic, referring to it as his "consoling religion." The economist Adam Smith's theories on capitalism were significantly influenced by the stoicism that he studied as a schoolboy under a teacher who had translated Marcus Aurelius' works.
尤金·德拉克洛瓦是著名的法国浪漫主义艺术家，以其画作《自由引导人民》而闻名，他是一位热情的斯多葛主义者，称其为他的“安慰宗教”。经济学家亚当·斯密的资本主义理论深受斯多葛主义的影响，他在学生时代师从一位翻译过马可·奥勒留作品的老师。
Today's political leaders are no different, with many finding their inspiration from the ancient texts. Former US President Bill Clinton rereads Marcus Aurelius every single year, and many have compared former President Obama's calm leadership style to that of Cato.
今天的政治领袖也不例外，许多人从古代文献中寻找灵感。美国前总统比尔·克林顿每年都会重读马可·奥勒留的作品，许多人将前总统奥巴马冷静的领导风格与卡托的领导风格进行了比较。
Stoicism had a profound influence on Albert Ellis, who invented cognitive behavior therapy, which is used to help people manage their problems by changing the way that they think and behave. It's most commonly used to treat depression. The idea is that we can take control of our lives by challenging the irrational beliefs that create our faulty thinking, symptoms, and behaviors, by using logic instead.
斯多葛主义对艾伯特·埃利斯产生了深远的影响，后者发明了认知行为疗法，该疗法用于通过改变人们的思维和行为方式来帮助人们解决问题。它最常用于治疗抑郁症。这个想法是，我们可以通过挑战造成我们错误思维、症状和行为的非理性信念，用逻辑来控制我们的生活。
Stoicism has also become popular in the world of business. Stoic principles can build the resilience and state of mind required to overcome setbacks, because stoics teach turning obstacles into opportunity—a lesson every business entrepreneur needs to learn. I would argue that studying stoicism is as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago, thanks to its brilliant insights into how to lead a good life.
斯多葛主义在商业世界中也很受欢迎。斯多葛主义原则可以培养克服挫折所需的韧性和心态，因为斯多葛主义者教导人们将障碍转化为机遇——这是每个企业家都需要学习的一课。我认为，由于斯多葛哲学对如何过上美好生活有着深刻的见解，因此，研究斯多葛哲学在今天和 2000 年前一样重要。
At the very root of the thinking, there is a very simple way of living: control what you can, and accept what you can't. This is not as easy as it sounds and will require considerable effort. It can take a lifetime to master.
斯多葛哲学的根本思想是一种非常简单的生活方式：控制你能控制的，接受你不能控制的。这并不像听起来那么容易，需要付出相当大的努力。可能需要一生的时间才能掌握。
The Stoics also believed the most important foundation for a good and happy life is not money, fame, power, or pleasure, but having a disciplined and principled character. Something which seems to resonate with many people today.
斯多葛学派还认为，美好幸福生活的最重要基础不是金钱、名誉、权力或享乐，而是拥有自律和有原则的性格。这似乎引起了当今许多人的共鸣。
