稍微相关的梭罗名言（也是我一直以来的最爱之一），出自《Life Without Principle》（没有原则的生活）：> 莫读《时代报》，读读永恒吧（Read not the Times. Read the Eternities）。
Loosely related Thoreau quotation (and one of my all-time favorites), from Life Without Principle: > Read not the Times. Read the Eternities.
……信息；他不是传教士，也没四处走动吃着蝗虫和野蜜。同一风格但篇幅短得多的一篇——而且没有那些扯淡的种豆经济学——是《Life Without Principle》。我推荐先读这篇，把它当成读《瓦尔登湖》的入门导读。写《Life Without Principle》那会儿，梭罗已经在到处做公开演讲了，对短论证的把控也更成熟了（虽然他大概……
…messages; he is not an evangelist, nor does he come round eating locusts and wild honey. A much shorter read in the same vein–and without all the digressions about the economics of farming beans–is "Life Without Principle". I recommend reading that first over Walden as something of a primer. By the time of Life Without Principle Thoreau was giving public lectures and had gotten better at shorter arguments (though he likely…
……太阳、云彩、积雪、树木对我说话的声音都不再那么真切了。一个人不能事奉两个主。要懂得并拥有某一天的财富，需要付出的绝不止一天的全心投入。（亨利·戴维·梭罗，《Life Without Principle》[1]，1854年）[1] http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Life_Without_Principle
…The sun, the clouds, the snow, the trees say not so much to me. You cannot serve two masters. It requires more than a day's devotion to know and to possess the wealth of a day. (Henry David Thoreau, Life Without Principle[1], 1854) [1] http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Life_Without_Principle
这让我想起 H.D. 梭罗的随笔《Life Without Principle》[1]，他在里面大谈用市井新闻和其它琐事塞满大脑，会对心灵和灵魂造成多么恶劣的负面影响。我相信，这种习惯会让心智永远变得庸俗……
I am reminded of H.D. Thoreau's essay "Life Without Principle"[1] where he has plenty to say about the ill effects, to the mind and soul, of filling one's head with ordinary news and other trivia. I believe that the mind can be permanently profaned by the habit…
我甚至想说：不值得重读的书，连一遍都不值得读。这完全可以拿来作为反对读报纸的论据。梭罗在《Life Without Principle》里写道：“我们应当把自己的心灵，也就是我们自己，当作天真纯洁的孩子来对待——我们是他们的监护人，必须小心谨慎，不要把不相干的事物和话题硬塞进他们的注意力里。莫读《时代报》……
I'd go so far as to say that book not worth re-reading isn't worth reading once. That could work well as an argument against reading newspapers. Thoreau in Life Without Principle: "We should treat our minds, that is, ourselves, as innocent and ingenuous children, whose guardians we are, and be careful what objects and what subjects we thrust on their attention. Read not the Times.…
……像那样拱土刨地，把泥土搅得一团糟，跟这种人为伍我都会觉得丢脸。如果我只要动动手指就能坐拥世间所有财富，我也绝不肯付出这样的代价。——亨利·戴维·梭罗，《Life Without Principle》
…rooting, stirring up the soil so, would be ashamed of such company. If I could command the wealth of all the worlds by lifting my finger, I would not pay such a price for it. -- Henry David Thoreau, "Life Without Principle"
