梭羅把極簡主義的人生理念發(fā)揮到極致,，你可以認為他懶，但也可以認為他看透,。

只是想象或計劃買下一片土地,、一片農(nóng)場，然后想象在土地和農(nóng)場上的規(guī)劃,，之后就不管了,，他認為這樣就已經(jīng)獲取了這片土地和農(nóng)場的最美好的東西，就像一個詩人把農(nóng)場的最寶貴部分寫進作品之后,，他就無需再擁有這個農(nóng)場,，而把農(nóng)場的勞役留給一輩子困在的農(nóng)場的農(nóng)夫一樣。

尤其是梭羅借用了英國詩人庫柏（1731-1800）的詩句：

“我是我眺望到的一切君王,，

我對它具有的權(quán)利無可爭辯,。”

更凸顯了梭羅那種雁過無痕卻胸懷廣闊的超脫心態(tài),，頗有國人總結(jié)蘇軾的“山水無常屬,，閑者是主人”的意境，兩者可謂異曲同工,。（蘇軾《與范子豐書》：江山風月,，本無常主，閑者便是主人,。）

慢慢細讀一本書,，就像慢慢享受一套馬拉松備戰(zhàn)訓練課表一樣，最終都會或多或少收獲令人滿意的果實,。

Where I Lived, and What I Lived For

《我生活的地方,，我生活的目的》（之一）（王家湘譯）

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.

一個下午的時間就足夠在這片土地上安排好果園、林地和牧場的位置,，并決定在門前應(yīng)該留下哪些好看的櫟樹和松樹,，以及從什么地方看每一棵枯萎的樹更好；然后我就不管了,，或者休耕了,，因為一個人能夠放得下的東西越多,，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."

我發(fā)現(xiàn),，就這樣,，我當了一回富人而又沒有損傷到我的貧窮。但是我保留了那兒的景色,，并且從此年年不用手推車就帶走了那片景色的果實,。至于風景，——

我是眺望到的一切的君王,，

我對他具有的權(quán)利無可爭辯,。

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.

我常常看到詩人在欣賞了農(nóng)場上最寶貴的部分以后就離開了,，而乖戾的農(nóng)夫卻以為他只不過得到了幾個野蘋果而已,。嘿，詩人已經(jīng)把他的農(nóng)場寫在了詩中,，而農(nóng)場的主人許多年對此都一無所知,，這是一道絕妙的無形的柵欄，它已經(jīng)將農(nóng)場完全圍起,，擠出了她的乳汁,，脫脂后取得了全部的奶油，只把脫脂奶留給了農(nóng)場主,。

... 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,，僅有的、也是最后的一次,，我要對同胞們說,，只要可能，就過自由自在的,、不受約束的生活,。為獻身一座農(nóng)場而禁錮自己，或者禁錮在縣監(jiān)牢里,，二者之間沒有多大區(qū)別,。
