亨利·戴维·梭罗：瓦尔登湖·摘录 20
亨利·戴维·梭罗《瓦尔登湖》· Walden · 健康 · 认知 · 领导
In this course which our ancestors took there was a show of prudence at least, as if their principle were to satisfy the more pressing wants first. But are the more pressing wants satisfied now? When I think of acquiring for myself one of our luxurious dwellings, I am deterred, for, so to speak, the country is not yet adapted to _human_ culture, and we are still forced to cut our _spiritual_ bread far thinner than our forefathers did their wheaten. Not that all architectural ornament is to be neglected even in the rudest periods; but let our houses first be lined with beauty, where they come in contact with our lives, like the tenement of the shellfish, and not overlaid with it. But, alas! I have been inside one or two of them, and know what they are lined with.

白话
祖先们过日子看似精明，先满足最急迫的需求。可如今这些需求真满足了吗？我想弄套豪华住宅，却犹豫了：社会还没适合人的成长，我们精神食粮比祖先的面包还薄。房子该像贝壳内壁，先有美再谈装饰。可惜我进过几栋豪宅，知道里面衬的是什么。
