亨利·戴维·梭罗:瓦尔登湖·摘录 132

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

I believe that the State will soon be able to take all my work of this sort out of my hands, and then I shall be no better patriot than my fellow-countrymen. Seen from a lower point of view, the Constitution, with all its faults, is very good; the law and the courts are very respectable; even this State and this American government are, in many respects, very admirable, and rare things, to be thankful for, such as a great many have described them; seen from a higher still, and the highest, who shall say what they are, or that they are worth looking at or thinking of at all?

白话

我相信国家很快就能把我这类活儿全接过去,到那时我和同胞们一样,算不上更好的爱国者了。从低处看,宪法虽有毛病却很不错,法律和法庭很可敬,就连这个州和美国政府在许多方面也值得感激,正如许多人说的那样。但从更高处看,从最高处看,谁说得清它们是什么,或者值不值得一看一想?视角一变,评价就变;所以别把任何制度当成终极真理,要练习在不同高度上看问题。

上下文

梭罗在《瓦尔登湖》中评论政府与宪法,提出从不同高度看同一制度会得出不同结论。
