亨利·戴维·梭罗：瓦尔登湖·摘录 57
亨利·戴维·梭罗《瓦尔登湖》· Walden · 健康 · 认知 · 行动 · 人性
There was a certain positive originality, however slight, to be detected in him, and I occasionally observed that he was thinking for himself and expressing his own opinion, a phenomenon so rare that I would any day walk ten miles to observe it, and it amounted to the re-origination of many of the institutions of society. Though he hesitated, and perhaps failed to express himself distinctly, he always had a presentable thought behind. Yet his thinking was so primitive and immersed in his animal life, that, though more promising than a merely learned man’s, it rarely ripened to any thing which can be reported. He suggested that there might be men of genius in the lowest grades of life, however permanently humble and illiterate, who take their own view always, or do not pretend to see at all; who are as bottomless even as Walden Pond was thought to be, though they may be dark and muddy.

白话
梭罗发现这个加拿大人身上有一种确凿的原创性，虽然微小，但他偶尔会自己思考并表达自己的观点。这种现象太罕见了，梭罗愿意走十英里路去观察，因为它相当于重新发明了许多社会制度。尽管他表达得犹豫、不清楚，但背后总有一个值得呈现的想法。然而他的思想太原始，沉浸于动物般的生活，所以很少成熟到能报告出来。梭罗认为，在最底层的生活中，即使永远卑微、不识字，也可能有天才，他们总是有自己的看法，或者干脆不假装看见；他们像瓦尔登湖一样深不可测，尽管可能黑暗浑浊。
上下文
梭罗在《瓦尔登湖》中描写一位未受教育的加拿大人，借此反思独立思考和原创性在文明社会中的稀缺。
