亨利·戴维·梭罗:瓦尔登湖·摘录 72

亨利·戴维·梭罗《瓦尔登湖》· Walden · 健康 · 认知 · 成长 · 学习

Before I had reached the pond some fresh impulse had brought out John Field, with altered mind, letting go “bogging” ere this sunset. But he, poor man, disturbed only a couple of fins while I was catching a fair string, and he said it was his luck; but when we changed seats in the boat luck changed seats too. Poor John Field!—I trust he does not read this, unless he will improve by it,—thinking to live by some derivative old country mode in this primitive new country,—to catch perch with shiners. It is good bait sometimes, I allow. With his horizon all his own, yet he a poor man, born to be poor, with his inherited Irish poverty or poor life, his Adam’s grandmother and boggy ways, not to rise in this world, he nor his posterity, till their wading webbed bog-trotting feet get _talaria_ to their heels.

白话

梭罗还没到湖边,约翰·菲尔德就带着新念头出来,放弃“陷泥沼”的活计。但可怜的他,在梭罗钓到一串鱼时只惊动了两条鳍,他说这是运气;可当他们换座位后,运气也换了。梭罗感叹,菲尔德想在这片新大陆沿用旧国的老法子,用小鱼钓鲈鱼,有时是不错的饵。他视野狭窄,生来贫穷,带着爱尔兰的贫穷和沼泽般的生活方式,无法提升,除非他们的脚长出翅膀。这讽刺了因循守旧、不愿改变的人,提醒我们要打破思维定式,主动适应新环境。
