亨利·戴维·梭罗:瓦尔登湖·摘录 24

亨利·戴维·梭罗《瓦尔登湖》· Walden · 健康 · 成长 · 行动

I dug my cellar in the side of a hill sloping to the south, where a woodchuck had formerly dug his burrow, down through sumach and blackberry roots, and the lowest stain of vegetation, six feet square by seven deep, to a fine sand where potatoes would not freeze in any winter. The sides were left shelving, and not stoned; but the sun having never shone on them, the sand still keeps its place. It was but two hours’ work. I took particular pleasure in this breaking of ground, for in almost all latitudes men dig into the earth for an equable temperature. Under the most splendid house in the city is still to be found the cellar where they store their roots as of old, and long after the superstructure has disappeared posterity remark its dent in the earth. The house is still but a sort of porch at the entrance of a burrow.

白话

我在朝南的山坡上挖地窖,那里曾有土拨鼠打洞。穿过漆树和黑莓根,挖到六英尺见方、七英尺深,底下是细沙,冬天土豆不会冻。只花了两小时。我特别享受破土,因为各地的人都往地下挖,求恒温。最华丽的城市住宅下也有地窖,用来存根茎;房子消失后,后人还能看到地上的凹痕。房子不过是洞穴入口的门廊。

上下文

梭罗在《瓦尔登湖》中描述自己挖地窖的过程和感想。
