第一篇:Love-your-life—《热爱生活》-亨利·大卫·梭罗
Love Your Life Henry David Thoreau
However mean your life is, meet it and live it;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The faultfinder will find faults in paradise.Love your life, poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.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.不论你的生活如何卑微,面对它活下去,不要逃避,也不要恶言咒骂。生活不像你认为的那样坏。当你最富有的时候,倒是看似最穷。爱挑毛病的人就是在天堂里也能找到缺点。即使你生活贫穷,也要热爱生活。因为就是在济贫院里,你也可以有快乐、激动、荣耀的时候。反射在济贫院窗子上的夕阳,同反射在富户人家窗上的一样光亮;门前的积雪也同样在春天早早的融化。在我见过的人中,只有心绪宁静的人才可能生活得心满意足、心怀欢快愉快的念头,如同在皇宫中一样。在我看来,城镇中的穷人,往往过着最独立自主的生活。也许就是因为他们很伟大,能够毫无疑虑坦然接受现实。大多数人认为他们高高在上,不需要城镇的资助;可是事实上他们往往并不高尚,而是用不正当的手段来谋生,理应更加声名狼藉。像圣人般视贫穷如花园中香草来种植照料吧!不要自寻烦恼去过分追求新奇,朋友也罢,衣服也罢。翻开故往,回归故往。万物未变,是我们在变。卖掉你的衣服,保留你的思想。
