論工業社會及其未來-現代社會權力進程的中斷

DISRUPTION OF THE POWER PROCESS IN MODERN SOCIETY

59

We divide human drives into three groups: (1) those drives that can be satisfied with minimal effort; (2) those that can be satisfied but only at the cost of serious effort; (3) those that cannot be adequately satisfied no matter how much effort one makes. The power process is the process of satisfying the drives of the second group. The more drives there are in the third group, the more there is frustration, anger, eventually defeatism, depression, etc.

現代社會權力進程的中斷

我們將人類的慾望分成三類：(1) 可以以最少努力滿足的慾望；(2) 需要花費大量努力才能被滿足；(3) 不論多努力都無法得到足夠的滿足。權力進程是滿足第二類慾望的進程。越多第三類的慾望就越多挫折、憤怒以至於失敗主義、抑鬱等等。

In modern industrial society natural human drives tend to be pushed into the first and third groups, and the second group tends to consist increasingly of artificially created drives.

在現代工業化社會人類自然的慾望傾向被推入第一和第三類，且第二類越來越傾向由人造慾望構成。
