[英中] HAPPY (無題)

[chingfen (輕風斜雨)]

The only happiness a brave man ever troubled himself with asking much about
was, happiness enough to get his work done. It is, after all, the one
unhappiness of a man, that he cannot work ; that he cannot get his destiny as
a man fulfilled. CARLYLE.

[v1]
勇敢的人總會不厭其煩地不斷自問：最幸福的是什麼—－－
那就是幸福地完成自己的工作。
畢竟，人的不幸是無法工作，無法完成個人終生所身負的使命。-CARLYLE.

[v2]
勇者總是盡可能自我挑戰、頻頻自問何為唯一的幸福
－－－那就是足以完成自己工作的幸福。
畢竟，人無法工作、完成個人終生所肩負的使命，這是一種不幸。

→ usread:我覺得"總會"和"最"無法曲盡 only...ever和troubled的語意
→ usread:enough最好也要譯出來
推 l10nel:我就字面的理解是這樣的（沒有花時間把TC原文整段看過）：
→ l10nel:關於快樂，勇敢的人只在乎一件事：不斷自問是否快樂到
→ l10nel:能把工作做好。畢竟，無法工作，無以克竟做一個人所註定
→ l10nel:要做的事，就沒有快樂可言。
謝謝usread和l10nel兩位前輩。
