For Camus, the human condition is most comparable to The Myth of Sisyphus.

对加缪来说，人类的境况与西西弗斯的神话最具可比性。

Sisyphus can set himself a new goal that gives meaning to the present moment.

西西弗斯可以给自己设定一个新目标，赋予当下意义。

Sisyphus’s punishment was a straightforward task – rolling a massive boulder up a hill.

西西弗斯的惩罚是一项简单的任务——将一块巨石推上山坡。

Camus explains this in one of his most famous essays which centers on the Greek myth of Sisyphus.

加缪在他最著名的一篇散文中解释了这一点，该散文以希腊神话中的西西弗斯为中心。

Read any story or myth about hell, whether it's Tantalus, or Sisyphus, or Satan, and you'll hear the same story: someone wants something but can never have it.

读任何关于地狱的故事或神话，无论是坦塔罗斯、西西弗斯还是撒旦，你都会听到同样的故事：有人想要什么，但永远得不到。

In his classic essay The Myth of Sisyphus, existentialist philosopher Albert Camus compared the punishment to humanity’s futile search for meaning and truth in a meaningless and indifferent universe.

存在主义哲学家阿尔伯特·加缪在他的经典论文《西西弗斯神话》中将这种惩罚比作人类在无意义和冷漠的宇宙中徒劳地寻找意义和真理。
