Salvation from the self is what we Samanas search for, oh exalted one.

从自我中解脱是我们沙门寻求的，哦尊贵的人。

This is what Siddhartha has learned among the Samanas.

这是悉达多在沙门中学到的。

Tomorrow, at daybreak I will begin the life of the Samanas.

明天，黎明时分，我将开始沙门的生活。

But tell me: Have you seen the multitude of my Samanas, my many brothers, who have taken refuge in the teachings?

但是告诉我：你有没有看到我的众多沙门，我的许多兄弟，他们皈依了教义？

Quickly, you've learned every exercise, often the old Samanas have admired you.

很快，你就学会了每一个练习，经常让老沙门钦佩你。

Instructed by the oldest of the Samanas, Siddhartha practised self-denial, practised meditation, according to a new Samana rules.

在最年长的沙门的指导下，悉达多按照新的沙门规则练习克己、冥想。

They rarely talked about it, because the oldest one of the Samanas did not like this myth.

他们很少谈论它，因为最年长的沙门不喜欢这个神话。

Siddhartha learned a lot when he was with the Samanas, many ways leading away from the self he learned to go.

悉达多在与沙门相处时学到了很多东西， 许多方法可以让他远离他学会的自我。

But this fruit, which we already now received thanks to the Gotama, consisted in him calling us away from the Samanas!

但是，由于乔答摩，我们现在已经得到了这个果实，它在于他叫我们远离沙门！

You'll see that the stupid Samanas are learning and able to do many pretty things in the forest, which the likes of you aren't capable of.

你会看到愚蠢的沙门正在学习并能够在森林里做很多漂亮的事情，这是像你这样的人做不到的。

The two Samanas, accustomed to life in the forest, found quickly and without making any noise a place to stay and rested there until the morning.

习惯了山林生活的两个沙门很快就悄无声息地找了一个地方落脚，一直睡到天明。

What I've learned, being among the Samanas, up to this day, this, oh Govinda, I could have learned more quickly and by simpler means.

我在沙门中学到的东西，直到今天，这个，哦戈文达，我本可以通过更简单的方式更快地学习。

Oh Govinda, I believe out of all the Samanas out there, perhaps not a single one, not a single one, will reach the nirvana.

哦戈文达，我相信在所有的沙门中，也许没有一个，一个都没有，会达到涅盘。

But he has that mysterious quality of those people to whom success comes all by itself, whether this may be a good star of his birth, magic, or something he has learned among Samanas.

但他具有那些成功靠自己的人的那种神秘品质，无论这可能是他出生时的一颗好星、魔法，还是他在沙门那里学到的东西。

The myth had also reached the Samanas in the forest, and also Siddhartha, and also Govinda, slowly, drop by drop, every drop laden with hope, every drop laden with doubt.

神话也传到了森林里的沙门、悉达多和歌文达，慢慢地，一点一点地，每一滴都充满希望，每一滴都充满怀疑。

I have asked the Brahmans, year after year, and I have asked the holy Vedas, year after year, and I have asked the devote Samanas, year after year.

我年复一年地问婆罗门，我年复一年地问神圣的吠陀经，我年复一年地问奉献者沙门。

Among all the learned men and Samanas, of which I knew many, there was one of this kind, a perfected one, I'll never be able to forget him. It is that Gotama, the exalted one, who is spreading that teachings.

在我认识的许多有学问的人和沙门中，有一个这样的人，一个完美的人，我永远无法忘记他。是那尊贵的乔达摩在传播那个教义。

And just consider: what would become of the sanctity of prayer, what of the venerability of the Brahmans' caste, what of the holiness of the Samanas, if it was as you say, if there was no learning?

想想看：如果没有学问，祈祷的神圣性会变成什么样，婆罗门种姓的尊严会变成什么样，沙门的圣洁会变成什么样子？

On this very same day, Siddhartha informed the oldest one of the Samanas of his decision, that he wanted to leave him. He informed the oldest one with all the courtesy and modesty becoming to a younger one and a student.

就在同一天，悉达多通知最年长的沙门他决定离开他。他以一种更年轻的学生的礼貌和谦虚的态度通知了最年长的一个。
