亨利·戴维·梭罗:瓦尔登湖·摘录 34

亨利·戴维·梭罗《瓦尔登湖》· Walden · 健康 · 行动 · 历史

As usual, a great proportion was trumpery which had begun to accumulate in his father’s day. Among the rest was a dried tapeworm. And now, after lying half a century in his garret and other dust holes, these things were not burned; instead of a _bonfire_, or purifying destruction of them, there was an _auction_, or increasing of them. The neighbors eagerly collected to view them, bought them all, and carefully transported them to their garrets and dust holes, to lie there till their estates are settled, when they will start again. When a man dies he kicks the dust.

白话

梭罗写邻居清理旧物:大部分是父亲那辈攒下的破烂,其中竟有一条干绦虫。这些东西在阁楼和积灰角落躺了半个世纪,最后没被烧掉净化,反而被拍卖,等于让破烂继续增加。邻居们热热闹闹来看、来买,再小心搬回自家阁楼和积灰角落,等下一代处理遗产时,它们又再流转一次。人一死,不过踢起一阵灰尘。核心是:我们常把“处理”做成“转移”,把“清理”做成“接手”。今天可做的是,找一件你存了很久、从没用过的东西,直接扔掉或送走,别让它再换个地方躺着。

上下文

梭罗在《瓦尔登湖》中讽刺人们处理遗物和旧货的方式,认为拍卖只是让无用之物继续流传。

你手边哪件旧物,你一直说“处理”,其实只是换了个地方放着?
