2. It is for want of self-culture that the superstition of Traveling, whose idols are Italy, England, Egypt, retains its fascination for all educated Americans. They who made England, Italy, or Greece venerable in the imagination did so by sticking fast where they were, like an axis of the earth. In manly hours, we feel that duty is our place. The soul is no traveler; the wise man stays at home, and when his necessities, his duties, on any occasion call him from his house, or into foreign lands, he is at home still; and shall make men sensible by the expression of his countenance, that he goes the missionary of wisdom and virtue, and visits cities and men like a sovereign, and not like an interloper or a valet.

白话
旅行迷信把意大利、英国、埃及当偶像,对受过教育的美国人仍有魅力,这其实是缺乏自我修养。那些让英国、意大利、希腊在想象中变得可敬的人,都是像地轴一样牢牢待在自己位置上的人。在刚健的时刻,我们感到责任就是我们的位置。灵魂不是旅行者;智者待在家里,即使因需要或责任出门或去外国,他仍像在家一样,神情让人感到他是智慧和美德的使者,像君主一样访问城市和人,而不是闯入者或仆从。所以,先把自己修养好,再出门。
上下文
爱默生《论自立》批评当时美国人盲目崇拜欧洲文化旅游,认为真正的修养在于自我深耕而非远行。
