Love Your Life
by Henry David Thoreau/享利.大衛(wèi).梭羅



Hints:

The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any. Maybe they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving. Most think that they are above being supported by the town, but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means. Which should be more disreputable. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends, Turn the old, return to them. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
城鎮(zhèn)中的窮人,我看,倒往往是過著最獨(dú)立不羈的生活。也許因?yàn)樗麄兒軅ゴ螅?所以受之無愧。大多數(shù)人以為他們是超然的,不靠城鎮(zhèn)來支援他們;可是事實(shí)上他們是往往利用了不正當(dāng)?shù)氖侄蝸韺?duì)付生活,他們是毫不超脫的,毋寧是不體面的。視貧窮如園中之花而像圣人一樣耕植它吧!不要找新的花樣,無論是新的朋友或新的衣服,來麻煩你自己。找舊的,回到那里去。萬物不變,是我們?cè)谧儭D愕囊路梢再u掉,但要保留你的思想。
