摘要：

Max Weber's concept of Lebensfuhrung was inappropriately translated as ''lifestyle'' in the two major English-language translations of his work. The result is that Weber's distinctly different terms ''Lebensfuhrung'' (life conduct) and ''Lebensstil'' (lifestyles) have the imprecise and singular meaning ''lifestyle'' in Anglo-American literature. Translated literally, Lebensfuhrung means life conduct and refers to choice and self-direction in a person's behavior, not lifestyles. Consequently, Lebensfuhrung is the element of 'choice within Weber's overall concept of Lebensstil (lifestyles) and joins with Lebenschancen (life chances) as one of Lebensstil's two basic components. To use Lebensfuhrung to mean simply lifestyles overlooks the depth of Weber's thinking on the subject.
