“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.”

“我步入丛林,因为我希望从容不迫地生活,面对本质上只有生活的事实,看看是否能掌握所教,不,当我来到死,发现我没有住。我不希望度过非生活的生活,生活是这样的可爱;也不希望辞职,除非它是练习非常必要。我希望活的深刻,吸取生命中所有的精华,把,生活如此坚强地和斯巴达人喜欢以击溃所有这不是生活,减少大片土地和刮胡子近,开车到一个角落,生活和减少它的最低条件。”

“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.”

“你必须活在当下,推出自己在每一波,发现你在每一刻永恒。愚蠢的人站在自己的岛屿的机会和看向另一个土地。没有其他的土地,没有其他生命但这个。”

“I do believe in simplicity. It is astonishing as well as sad, how many trivial affairs even the wisest thinks he must attend to in a day; how singular an affair he thinks he must omit. When the mathematician would solve a difficult problem, he first frees the equation of all incumbrances, and reduces it to its simplest terms. So simplify the problem of life, distinguish the necessary and the real. Probe the earth to see where your main roots run. ”

“我确实相信简单。这是惊人的和悲伤的,多少琐碎事务最聪明的,也认为他必须参加一天;奇异外遇他认为他必须省略。当数学家将解决一个困难的问题,他第一次使方程的规限,并降低其简单的术语。所以简化生命的问题,区分必要的和真实的。探测地球的地方看见你的主要根运行。
