亨利·戴维·梭罗《瓦尔登湖》· Walden · 健康 · 行动
Though we are not so degenerate but that we might possibly live in a cave or a wigwam or wear skins today, it certainly is better to accept the advantages, though so dearly bought, which the invention and industry of mankind offer. In such a neighborhood as this, boards and shingles, lime and bricks, are cheaper and more easily obtained than suitable caves, or whole logs, or bark in sufficient quantities, or even well-tempered clay or flat stones. I speak understandingly on this subject, for I have made myself acquainted with it both theoretically and practically. With a little more wit we might use these materials so as to become richer than the richest now are, and make our civilization a blessing. The civilized man is a more experienced and wiser savage. But to make haste to my own experiment.

白话
我们还没堕落到只能住洞穴、穿兽皮,接受文明带来的便利当然更好,哪怕代价高昂。在瓦尔登湖附近,木板、瓦片、石灰、砖头比合适的洞穴、整根原木、树皮或黏土、石板更便宜易得。我理论和实践上都了解。稍用智慧,用这些材料能比现在最富的人还富,让文明成为祝福。文明人是更有经验、更聪明的野蛮人。不过我得赶紧做自己的实验了。
上下文
