拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生:随笔·摘录 43

拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生《随笔》· Essays · 哲学 · 健康 · 认知 · 心性

The league between virtue and nature engages all things to assume a hostile front to vice. The beautiful laws and substances of the world persecute and whip the traitor. He finds that things are arranged for truth and benefit, but there is no den in the wide world to hide a rogue. Commit a crime,[134] and the earth is made of glass. Commit a crime, and it seems as if a coat of snow fell on the ground, such as reveals in the woods the track of every partridge and fox and squirrel and mole. You cannot recall the spoken word,[135] you cannot wipe out the foot-track, you cannot draw up the ladder, so as to leave no inlet or clew. Some damning circumstance always transpires. The laws and substances of nature--water, snow, wind, gravitation--become penalties to the thief.

白话

美德与自然的联盟使万物对恶行采取敌视态度。世界美好的法则和物质会迫害并鞭打背叛者。他发现万物为真理和利益而设,但广阔世界没有恶棍的藏身洞。犯下罪行,大地就变成玻璃;犯下罪行,仿佛地上落了一层雪,在树林里暴露出每只鹧鸪、狐狸、松鼠和鼹鼠的足迹。你无法收回说出的话,无法擦掉脚印,无法抽掉梯子而不留入口或线索。总有些致命的情况会泄露。自然界的法则和物质——水、雪、风、引力——都成为对小偷的惩罚。

上下文

爱默生《随笔集》,论补偿,强调罪恶在自然秩序中无处隐藏。
