瓦尔登湖04(梭罗)【跑马大叔三语美文朗读】

梭罗把极简主义的人生理念发挥到极致,你可以认为他懒,但也可以认为他看透。

只是想象或计划买下一片土地、一片农场,然后想象在土地和农场上的规划,之后就不管了,他认为这样就已经获取了这片土地和农场的最美好的东西,就像一个诗人把农场的最宝贵部分写进作品之后,他就无需再拥有这个农场,而把农场的劳役留给一辈子困在的农场的农夫一样。

尤其是梭罗借用了英国诗人库柏(1731-1800)的诗句:

“我是我眺望到的一切君王,

我对它具有的权利无可争辩。”

更凸显了梭罗那种雁过无痕却胸怀广阔的超脱心态,颇有国人总结苏轼的“山水无常属,闲者是主人”的意境,两者可谓异曲同工。(苏轼《与范子丰书》:江山风月,本无常主,闲者便是主人。)

慢慢细读一本书,就像慢慢享受一套马拉松备战训练课表一样,最终都会或多或少收获令人满意的果实。

【瓦尔登湖04】

Where I Lived, and What I Lived For

《我生活的地方,我生活的目的》(之一)(王家湘译)

An afternoon sufficed to lay out the land into orchard, wood-lot, and pasture, and to decide what fine oaks or pines should be left to stand before the door, and whence each blasted tree could be seen to the best advantage; and then I let it lie, fallow, perchance, for a man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.

一个下午的时间就足够在这片土地上安排好果园、林地和牧场的位置,并决定在门前应该留下哪些好看的栎树和松树,以及从什么地方看每一棵枯萎的树更好;然后我就不管了,或者休耕了,因为一个人能够放得下的东西越多,他就越是富有。

I found thus that I had been a rich man without any damage to my poverty. But I retained the landscape, and I have since annually carried off what it yielded without a wheelbarrow. With respect to landscapes,

"I am monarch of all I survey,

My right there is none to dispute."

我发现,就这样,我当了一回富人而又没有损伤到我的贫穷。但是我保留了那儿的景色,并且从此年年不用手推车就带走了那片景色的果实。至于风景,——

我是眺望到的一切的君王,

我对他具有的权利无可争辩。

I have frequently seen a poet withdraw, having enjoyed the most valuable part of a farm, while the crusty farmer supposed that he had got a few wild apples only. Why, the owner does not know it for many years when a poet has put his farm in rhyme, the most admirable kind of invisible fence, has fairly impounded it, milked it, skimmed it, and got all the cream, and left the farmer only the skimmed milk.

我常常看到诗人在欣赏了农场上最宝贵的部分以后就离开了,而乖戾的农夫却以为他只不过得到了几个野苹果而已。嘿,诗人已经把他的农场写在了诗中,而农场的主人许多年对此都一无所知,这是一道绝妙的无形的栅栏,它已经将农场完全围起,挤出了她的乳汁,脱脂后取得了全部的奶油,只把脱脂奶留给了农场主。

... But I would say to my fellows, once for all, as long as possible live free and uncommitted. It makes but little difference whether you are committed to a farm or the county jail.

......但是,仅有的、也是最后的一次,我要对同胞们说,只要可能,就过自由自在的、不受约束的生活。为献身一座农场而禁锢自己,或者禁锢在县监牢里,二者之间没有多大区别。
