问答题The lives of most men are determined by their environment. They accept the circumstances amid which fate has thrown them not only with resignation but even with good will. They are like streetcars running contentedly on their rails and they despise the sprightly flivver that dashes in and out of the traffic and speeds so jauntily across the open country. I respect them; they are good citizens, good husbands, and good fathers, and of course somebody has to pay the taxes; but I do not find them exciting. I am fascinated by the men, few enough in all conscience, who take life in their own hands and seem to mould it to their own liking. It may be that we have no such thing as free will, but at all events we have the illusion of it. At a crossroad it does seem to us that we might go either to the right or the left and, the choice once made, it is difficult to see that the whole course of the world’s history obliged us to take the turning we did.

第二句中的accept...with resignation是一个惯用词组，表示对于一些令人不愉快的事物持忍耐的态度，这里用“逆来顺受”颇能传达原文的意思。with resignation表示忍耐，但毕竟是在“忍”，而下文with good will则是对于所遇逆境视若等闲、安之若素，比with resignation更进一步，故译成“随遇而安”。
