亨利·戴维·梭罗:瓦尔登湖·摘录 44
亨利·戴维·梭罗《瓦尔登湖》· Walden · 学习 · 健康 · 财富
The works of the great poets have never yet been read by mankind, for only great poets can read them. They have only been read as the multitude read the stars, at most astrologically, not astronomically. Most men have learned to read to serve a paltry convenience, as they have learned to cipher in order to keep accounts and not be cheated in trade; but of reading as a noble intellectual exercise they know little or nothing; yet this only is reading, in a high sense, not that which lulls us as a luxury and suffers the nobler faculties to sleep the while, but what we have to stand on tip-toe to read and devote our most alert and wakeful hours to.

白话
梭罗认为,伟大诗人的作品其实从未被真正阅读过,因为只有同样伟大的诗人才能读懂它们。普通人读经典,就像看星星只为了占卜,而不是了解天文。多数人识字只是为了应付生活琐事,比如记账、防骗,却从未把阅读当作一种高贵的智力锻炼。真正的阅读需要你踮起脚尖、全神贯注,在头脑最清醒的时刻进行,而不是把它当成催眠的消遣。所以,别把读书当成打发时间,要选那些需要你努力才能理解的书,在精力充沛时认真读。
上下文
梭罗在《瓦尔登湖》中讨论阅读的层次,批评人们只把阅读当工具,而忽视其精神价值。
