初衷:想读WALDEN的初衷是在节目中看到李健对这本书的推荐,便在心中种下了种子。
从来没有读过这种散文试的原版书,由于词汇和阅读量问题,刚开始读很不习惯,没办法很快理解文中的意思,所以效率比较低,最后还是结合了中文再感受一遍。
My purpose in going to Walden Pond was not to live cheaply nor to live dearly there, but to transact some private business with the fewest obstacles; to be hindered from accomplishing which for want of a little common sense, a little enterprise and business talent, appeared not so sad as foolish.- -梭罗到瓦尔登湖的初衷
words:
sojourner:旅居的人,逗留的人
nook:偏僻隐蔽的角落
axe:斧,(经费)大削减
