12、y David Thoreau were both poets,but one lived in Ancient China and the other in 19th century America.Superficially,these two men,whose lives were separated in time by nearly 1,500 years,were polar opposites.And yet they shared an intense respect for nature,which made them each an influential figure
13、of their time.陶渊明和亨利.大卫.梭罗都是诗人,但是一位生活在古代中国,另一位生活在19世纪的美国。表面上看,这两个人生活在不同的时代,相隔近一千五百年,迥然不同。然而,他们都非常尊重自然,这使得他们在各自的时代都成为有影响力的人物。2 Both men made dramatic transformations to their lives in order to reconnect with nature.As an official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty,Tao felt conflicted over life at court.In 40
14、5,he quit the service of the court for good,expressing his unhappiness in the now famous lime that he would not“bow like a servant in retum for five dou of grain.为了重归自然,两人的生活都发生了戏剧性的转变。陶渊明是东晋的官员,但是对官场生活感到困惑。公元405年,陶渊明辞去了官职,以表达他对仕途的不满,用今天的一句名言形容就是“不为五斗米折腰”。2 He spent the next 22 years until his death
15、,working the land in a poor,rural area.From his poetry,we can learn that although his life was arduous,he succeded in finding contentment in its simplicity and in drawing pleasure from nature.在之后的22年里,直到生命的尽头,他躬耕于田野,生活在清贫的农村。我们可以从他的诗歌中看出,尽管生活艰苦,但他从这种简单的生活中成功获得了满足感,并从大自然中获得了乐趣。3 While Taos return to
16、nature was a reaction to a lifestyle he was opposed to,Thoreaus was a personal decision to transform the way he lived.He had a decent quality of life,but he wanted to live in a simpler way.For two years,two months and two days,he lived in a cottage in the forest on the edge of Walden Pond,focusing o
17、n himself and his writing.陶渊明回归大自然是对自己反对的生活方式做出的一种反应,而梭罗则是出于个人的决定而改变自己的生活方式。虽然梭罗过着体面的生活,但他希望活得更简单些。两年两个月零两天,他住在瓦尔登湖边森林里的一间小屋里,专注于自身和写作。3 He explained his reason for doing so in Walden:“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately,to front only the essential facts of life.Both men were h
18、appy to withdraw from contemporary life,secking a harmonious relationship with nature in the quietness of their lives.他在瓦尔登湖中解释了这样做的原因:“我步入丛林,是因为我希望自由地生活,只面对生活中的基本事实。”两个人都乐于从当下的生活中抽身而退,在平静的生活中寻求与自然和谐的关系。4.Although Tao and Thoreau do not treat nature in quite the same way,their works show its beauty

20、动物们都是家养的,比如鸡和狗。他描写的平静祥和的生活,与压抑的官场生活形成鲜明对比,是对压抑的官场生活的批判:Beyond the dark and distance lies a vllage,The smoke above reluctant to depart.A dog is barking someubere doun the lane,And chickens sit atop the mulberry tree.嗳暧远人村,依依墟里烟。狗吠深巷中,鸡鸣桑树颇。5.Thoreaus descriptions of nature emphasised the beauty and p

22、s gifts,as he describes in his jourmal:梭罗在描述自然时,重点描绘了他周围原野的美丽与纯粹。他全身心投入到观察自然现象中,并在日记中详细地记录了自己的发现。梭罗的写作意在使人们信服,动物和植物就像我们人类一样都有生存和繁荣的权利。我们应该与它们和谐共处,享受大自然的恩赐,正如他在日记中描述的那样:Live in each season as it passes;breathe the air,drink tbe drink,taste the fnuit,and resign yourself to the influences of each.Let t
