……非常通俗好读，甚至带点八卦性质，还涉及了那个话题。惊叹于世界居然几乎没变。如果非要我说一本书，我想大概是爱默生的《随笔集：第一辑与第二辑》（Essays: First and Second Series，我买的第一本里还收录了《代表人物》（Representative Men）），我大概20岁时发现了它，之后至少有10年几乎每天都读，直到现在几天不读都不习惯……好吧，借用爱默生的话说，它比我自己还更像我自己……
…extremely readable, gossipy even, and touch on that subject. Marvel at how little's changed. If I had to name one book, I guess Emerson's Essays: First and Second Series, (that first copy I had also included Representative Men) which I discovered when I was about 20, and read from almost every day for at least 10 years, and still never go more than a few days without....well, it's more myself than I am (to paraphrase Emerson,…

……上千种我经历过却以为无法描摹的事情。这本书就是为了启发世人而写的，它多年来每天都在启发我——不，是永恒的启发！它——以及爱默生的其他著作，比如《代表人物》、《生活之道》、《论自然》、《演说与演讲集》等——让我身上的每一滴血都生出了仰望上苍的眼睛。
…thousand things I'd experienced but I'd thought were impossible to describe. It was written to inspire people, and inspired me daily for many years—nay, eternally! It—and Emerson's other writings, e.g. Representative Men, Conduct of Life, Nature, Addresses and Lectures etc—gave all the drops of my blood eyes that look upwards.
……问题。一切似乎顺理成章。（杜威的文风虽然算不上最抓人，但他阐述的内容完全弥补了这一点。）爱默生——《随笔集》（我的第一本收录了第一辑和第二辑随笔、《代表人物》还有些别的内容）。从我大概20岁起，很多年里每天都深受其启发。他的文字就是为了启发人而生的。他教你做自己。但一开始也感觉像是……
…problem. It just seemed natural. (Dewey doesn't have the most exciting prose style, but what he says more than compensates for that.) Emerson - Essays (My first book had Essays, first and second series, Representative Men, and some other stuff) It was hugely inspiring every day for many years, from when I was about 20. He writes precisely to be inspiring. He teaches you to be yourself. But also at first it was as though…
……解决那些甚至都没人意识到是问题的问题。https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUv66718DII 天才之所以为天才，在于他对任何事物投出的第一瞥。他的眼光是否具有创造性？——爱默生，《代表人物》（这似乎与爱默生说过的另一句话呼应：虽然他没有一双懂音乐的耳朵，但他有一双懂音乐的眼睛。我喜欢这个说法。）
…solutions for problems no-one else even realized was a problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUv66718DII The genius is a genius by the first look he casts on any object. Is his eye creative? – Emerson, Representative Men (That seems related to Emerson's remark that though he didn't have a musical ear, he had musical eyes. I like that.)
“……对每一个生灵而言都有同等广阔的天地。每个人在将自己独特的光芒投射到这片凹面天穹之前，在亲眼目睹自己的才干达到极致的崇高与升华之前，内心都是惶惶不安的。”——拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生，《代表人物》（http://www.gutenberg.org/files/6312/6312-h/6312-h.htm）在我看来，没有人有资格评判别人是否找到了能够安身立命、以此塑造人生的追求。正如……
…an equal scope for every creature. Each is uneasy until he has produced his private ray unto the concave sphere, and beheld his talent also in its last nobility and exaltation.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson, Representative Men (http://www.gutenberg.org/files/6312/6312-h/6312-h.htm) It seems to me that no person is in a position to judge whether another has found the thing that they should be shaping their life around.
