“Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not.
“Thus the sovereign voluntary path to cheerfulness, if our cheerfulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully and to act and speak as if cheerfulness were already there…”

2.sovereign voluntary path 怎么翻译 第二段的正常语序是什么 is前面的主语是什么 整段话直译怎么翻译

Answer 1

行动似乎是紧跟着感觉，但其实行动和感觉是并行的，而通过调整被我们的意愿所更能直接控制的行动，我们可以间接地调节不被我们意愿所直接控制的感觉。

1. which is not = which is not under direct control of the will

 

因此一旦我们失去快乐，自发地通向快乐的绝佳道路是高兴地端坐并且装作快乐已然存在地行动、交谈。

sovereign voluntary path：至高无上的自发的道路

2. 正常语序：

Thus, if our cheerfulness be lost（条件状语从句）,  the sovereign voluntary path（主语） to cheerfulness（定语） is（系动词） to sit up cheerfully and to act and speak （不定式作表语）as if cheerfulness were already there（状语从句）…”
