亨利·戴维·梭罗《瓦尔登湖》· Walden · 健康 · 行动 · 历史 · 学习
There is a period in the history of the individual, as of the race, when the hunters are the “best men,” as the Algonquins called them. We cannot but pity the boy who has never fired a gun; he is no more humane, while his education has been sadly neglected. This was my answer with respect to those youths who were bent on this pursuit, trusting that they would soon outgrow it. No humane being, past the thoughtless age of boyhood, will wantonly murder any creature which holds its life by the same tenure that he does. The hare in its extremity cries like a child. I warn you, mothers, that my sympathies do not always make the usual phil-_anthropic_ distinctions.

白话
人在成长中会有一个阶段,就像人类早期一样,觉得猎人是最棒的人。没开过枪的男孩确实让人惋惜,因为他的教育缺失了这部分,但这不意味着他更仁慈。对于热衷打猎的年轻人,梭罗的回答是:相信他们很快就会超越这个阶段。一个过了少年懵懂期的人,如果还有人性,就不会随意杀害任何与他一样拥有生命权的生物。兔子在绝境中会像孩子一样哭叫。梭罗提醒母亲们:他的同情心并不总是按人类通常的慈善标准来区分对象。
