The first in time and the first in importance of the influences upon the mind is that of nature.
在所有頭腦的影響之中,大自然的影響可謂是在時(shí)間上最先,在作用上最為重要的.——Emerson
The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood.
熱愛大自然的人內(nèi)外感覺協(xié)調(diào)一致,即使進(jìn)入成年后依然保持著童心.——Emerson
What is a weed?—A plant whose virtues have not been discovered.什么是雜草?——雜草是一種利用價(jià)值尚未被發(fā)現(xiàn)的植物.——Emerson
Animals are such agreeable friends—they ask no questions,they pass no criticisms.
動(dòng)物是如此怡人的朋友,它們不問任何問題,也不提出批評.——George Eliot
