I was also serenaded by a hooting owl. Near at hand you could fancy it the most melancholy sound in Nature, as if she meant by this to stereotype and make permanent in her choir the dying moans of a human being,—some poor weak relic of mortality who has left hope behind, and howls like an animal, yet with human sobs, on entering the dark valley, made more awful by a certain gurgling melodiousness,—I find myself beginning with the letters gl when I try to imitate it,—expressive of a mind which has reached the gelatinous mildewy stage in the mortification of all healthy and courageous thought. It reminded me of ghouls and idiots and insane howlings. But now one answers from far woods in a strain made really melodious by distance,—_Hoo hoo hoo, hoorer hoo_; and indeed for the most part it suggested only pleasing associations, whether heard by day or night, summer or winter.

白话
梭罗也常听猫头鹰的叫声。近处听,那声音极其忧郁,仿佛大自然在合唱中永久保留了人类临终的呻吟——一个绝望的可怜人,像动物一样嚎叫,却带着人的抽泣,进入黑暗山谷,还带着某种咕噜的旋律。这让他想到食尸鬼、白痴和疯狂的嚎叫。但远处树林传来回应,距离让叫声变得悦耳,大多时候只带来愉快的联想,无论昼夜冬夏。这说明同一事物因距离和心境不同,感受迥异。
