……几年里，我读完了狄金森的所有作品（真是个天才），接着又读完了爱默生出版的所有著作。然后，去年我拿起了梭罗的书，就再也放不下了。《瓦尔登湖》、他所有的散文集、《在康科德河与梅里马克河上一周》、他在鳕鱼角和缅因州的游记，现在又一头扎进了他的日记和书信里。梭罗——亨利！——简直就像一位无与伦比的挚友。我实在无法想象，任何贬低他的人曾认真花过时间……
…years, I read all of Dickinson (what a genius), and then all of Emerson's published writing. And, then picked up Thoreau last year. And I haven't been able to put him aside. Walden, all his essays, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, his Cape Cod and Maine travelogues, now deep into his journals and letters. Thoreau -- Henry! -- is like this amazing friend. I can hardly imagine anyone who has dismissed him has spent any serious time…
续作《莱拉》也棒极了。他极其详尽地构建了“良质”（Quality）的体系结构，非常说得通。又及：如果你喜欢皮尔西格，一定要读读梭罗的《在康科德河与梅里马克河上一周》（1849）——两者的形式如出一辙。
The sequel, Lila, is also really great. He's worked out the structure of Quality, in detail, and it makes a lot of sense. p.s. If you love Pirsig, read Thoreau's A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849) - the form is identical.
我觉得《在康科德河与梅里马克河上一周》既迷人又幽默。这本书通过两兄弟的一趟乘船之旅，展现了美国极早期工业化的图景。我还推荐散文《论公民不服从》……
I think "A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers" is both charming and funny. The book is a view into the very early industrialization of the United States, as framed by two brothers taking a boat trip. I also recommend "Civil Disobedience", an essay…
梭罗谈歌德（出自《在康科德河与梅里马克河上一周》，“星期四”）：‘他甚至教养好（_well-bred_）得过了头，以至于无法做到真正的通达成熟。他说他从不与镇上最底层的男孩子们往来。其实孩童也理应享有无知的益处……’
Thoreau on Goethe (_A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers_, Thursday): "He was even too _well-bred_ to be thoroughly bred. He says that he had had no intercourse with the lowest class of his towns-boys. The child should have the advantage of ignorance as well…
……人类身处其中的社会系统、试图研究这些系统的人类学/人类学家，以及这些系统如何运作、如何各自拥有独特的“良质”……（说来话长！）几年前我读了梭罗的《在康科德河与梅里马克河上一周》（1849），立刻就被震撼到了，呃，它的形式和皮尔西格的书完全一样——自然观察与写景之中穿插着大段大段的哲学/理论思考。《莱拉》甚至大部分场景也是设定在……
…social, societal systems humans are a part of, anthropology/anthropologists trying to study them, and how those systems work, how each has its own Quality.. (long story!) A few years ago I read Thoreau's A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849) and was immediately struck by, well, the form is exactly the same as Pirsig's books - nature/observation writing interspersed with slabs of philosophical/theoretical. Lila is even mostly set on…
……爱德华·达尔伯格提到，《查拉图斯特拉如是说》第一版只卖了十本，司汤达的《论爱情》第一版卖了十七本。这么一比，梭罗的《在康科德河与梅里马克河上一周》初版卖了两百多本，简直算得上是大获成功了——不过他确实有很多有文化的朋友。西蒙·莱斯在随笔《读者的报酬与作家的报酬》中，引用了法国作家兼偶尔客串出版商的雅克·夏尔多内的话……
…Edward Dahberg, the first run of Thus Spake Zarathusra sold ten copies, the first run of Stendhal's On Love, seventeen copies. That considered, Thoreau selling just more than 200 of the first printing of A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers appears as a raging success--but he had many literate friends. Simon Leys, in the essay "Readers' Rewards and Writers' Rewards", quotes the French writer, and sometime publisher, Jacques Chardonne as…
