英雄到底是什么呢？

But what the word hero means?

百度的解释是：

“指才能勇武过人的人；指具有英勇品质的人；无私忘我，不辞艰险，为人民利益而英勇奋斗，令人敬佩的人”。

The explanation of Baidu is the people who are heroic, selfless,hardworking and fighting for the interests of the people, they are respected.

还有另两种解释：

“英雄是一个比较主观的概念。一般是指在普通人中间有超出常人的能力的人，他们能够带领人们做出巨大的对人们有意义的事情，或者他们自己做出了重大的事情。”

There are other two explanations. One is talking about it’s a subjective concept, generally is those who earn excellent abilities among common crowd. They lead people and achieve the respect goals or make magnificent influence and significant meaning itself.

“英雄是文学分析与心理学常用的概念。童话中的主人翁就是容格分析心理学里的英雄。人生就是一场战争，人活着就是要扮演英雄的角色。”

Another one claims hero is one of concepts in literature and psychology,the main characters of fairy tales are “heroes” in Jungian analytical psychology.Which deems that life is a fight and people live to play the role of heroes.

不论是人，是主观概念，还是文学概念，都是人们赞美，憧憬与崇拜的对象。说到本质上，是个代称，也是个标签，一种认知。

No matter it’s people, subjective concept, or literature concept, hero is a symbol means praise, admiration and respect. In fact, it’s a pronoun, a label and a cognition.

我们所接触到的印象深刻的英雄，大概就是银幕上的各种影视动画中的英雄角色，还有那些维护安全拯救民众的人。小孩子们看到英雄的故事总是会很兴奋，也总是会由此滋生出成为英雄的愿望；而就算是成年人，也难免不会对英雄心生崇拜。

The heroes our common people impressed may be characters on screens and live people who maintain safety and rescue the public. Children are always excited meeting heroes, even adults will adore those people.

这些英雄作为榜样，会带给我们幻想，也会为我们带来希望。尽管社会并没有规定谁应该成为英雄，但成为英雄时那种骄傲与万众瞩目的感觉总会让人热血沸腾。

As model, hero bring us fancy and hope. Although there is no one rule that someone should be a hero, but the feeling full of pried bring passion out.

而“是否应该成为英雄”这样的问题，大概本身就是个伪命题。那些已经成为英雄的人，大部分应该都不是抱着“想要成为英雄”的心态去处理眼前的事务的。

The question “if you should be a hero” may be a false proposition. Heroes become heroes without the belief of must being a hero.

你会想要去成为英雄吗？对于我来说答案是否定的。

Do you want to be a hero? My answer is negative.

我一直认为自己不能成为伟大的人，尽管会为他人考虑，但是二十年的岁月过去后，大概不会为了满足他们而完全牺牲自己的想法与利益；尽管会幻想自己成为英雄的事情，但白日梦终究不会成真，也终究不能打破现实。

I am not the one who has the talent to be great. I will consider about other people but won’t sacrifice myself to satisfy others. I will cherish illusions to be a hero myself but know daydreams won’t come true without external force and break reality.

做快乐的人，至多能让别人快乐的人就好了。

It’s good enough to be happy, and it’s better to make people happy.
