拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生:随笔·摘录 114

拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生《随笔》· Essays · 健康 · 财富 · 行动

We eat of the bread which grows in the field. We live by the air which blows around us and we are poisoned by the air that is too cold or too hot, too dry or too wet. Time, which shows so vacant, indivisible and divine in its coming, is slit and peddled into trifles and tatters. A door is to be painted, a lock to be repaired. I want wood or oil, or meal, or salt; the house smokes, or I have a headache; then the tax; and an affair to be transacted with a man without heart or brains, and the stinging recollection of an injurious or very awkward word,--these eat up the hours. Do what we can, summer will have its flies.[666] If we walk in the woods we must feed mosquitoes. If we go a-fishing we must expect a wet coat. Then climate is a great impediment to idle persons. We often resolve to give up the care of the weather, but still we regard the clouds and the rain.

白话

我们吃田里生长的面包,靠周围空气生活,但太冷太热太干太湿的空气会毒害我们。时间看似空灵神圣,却被切割成琐碎碎片。要漆门、修锁,需要木油米盐;房子冒烟或头痛;还有税收,与无脑之人打交道,以及因伤人或尴尬话语而刺痛回忆——这些吞噬了时间。无论怎么做,夏天总有苍蝇。林中散步必喂蚊子,钓鱼必湿外套。气候对懒人是大障碍。我们常决心不管天气,却仍关注云雨。
