拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生:随笔·摘录 39
拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生《随笔》· Essays · 人性 · 健康 · 哲学 · 历史
All infractions of love and equity in our social relations are speedily punished. They are punished by fear. Whilst I stand in simple relations to my fellow-man, I have no displeasure in meeting him. We meet as water meets water, or as two currents of air mix, with perfect diffusion and interpenetration of nature. But as soon as there is any departure from simplicity, and attempt at halfness, or good for me that is not good for him, my neighbor feels the wrong; he shrinks from me as far as I have shrunk from him; his eyes no longer seek mine; there is war between us; there is hate in him and fear in me.

白话
社会关系中任何违反爱与公平的行为,都会很快受到惩罚,惩罚就是恐惧。当我与同胞保持单纯关系时,见面没有不快。我们像水与水相遇,或两股气流混合,完全扩散、彼此渗透。但一旦离开单纯,试图半心半意,或只要对我好而不管对他好不好,邻居就会感到不公;他疏远我,正如我疏远他;他的眼睛不再寻找我的眼睛;我们之间有了战争;他心中有恨,我心中有惧。所以,算计别人,最先失去的是自己的坦然。
上下文
爱默生《随笔集》中《补偿》篇,论述社会关系中违反公平会立即受到恐惧的惩罚。
