亨利·戴维·梭罗:瓦尔登湖·摘录 87

亨利·戴维·梭罗《瓦尔登湖》· Walden · 健康 · 行动 · 成长 · 人性

Every man looks at his wood-pile with a kind of affection. I love to have mine before my window, and the more chips the better to remind me of my pleasing work. I had an old axe which nobody claimed, with which by spells in winter days, on the sunny side of the house, I played about the stumps which I had got out of my bean-field. As my driver prophesied when I was ploughing, they warmed me twice, once while I was splitting them, and again when they were on the fire, so that no fuel could give out more heat. As for the axe, I was advised to get the village blacksmith to “jump” it; but I jumped him, and, putting a hickory helve from the woods into it, made it do. If it was dull, it was at least hung true.

白话

梭罗说,每个人看着自己的柴堆都会有种亲切感。他喜欢把柴堆放在窗前,木屑越多越好,提醒自己干过那些愉快的活儿。他有一把没人要的旧斧头,冬天在向阳处用它砍豆田里挖出的树桩。犁地时雇工预言这些树桩会让他暖两次:劈柴时一次,烧火时一次,果然如此。有人劝他找铁匠把斧头“锻接”一下,他却自己动手,装上山核桃木柄,照样好用。斧头钝归钝,至少装得正。这讲的是亲手劳作带来的满足,以及不追求完美工具、自己动手修补的乐趣。

上下文

梭罗在瓦尔登湖畔自己劈柴生火,享受简朴劳动,出自《瓦尔登湖》。
