1. After hoeing, or perhaps reading and writing, in the forenoon, I usually bathed again in the pond, swimming across one of its coves for a stint, and washed the dust of labor from my person, or smoothed out the last wrinkle which study had made, and for the afternoon was absolutely free. 锄地之后，上午也许读读书，写写字，我通常还要在湖水中再洗个澡，游泳经过一个小湾，这却是最大限度了，从我身体上洗去了劳动的尘垢，或者除去了阅读致成的最后一条皱纹，我在下午是很自由的。 2. Every day or two I strolled to the village to hear some of the gossip which is incessantly going on there, circulating either from mouth to mouth, or from newspaper to newspaper, and which, taken in homoeopathic doses, was really as refreshing in its way as the rustle of leaves and the peeping of frogs. 每天或隔天，我散步到村子里去，听听那些永无止境的闲话，或者是口口相传的，或者是报纸上互相转载的，如用顺势疗法小剂量的接受它们，的确也很新鲜，犹如树叶的瑟瑟有声和青蛙的咯咯而呜。 3. It was very pleasant, when I stayed late in town, to launch myself into the night, especially if it was dark and tempestuous, and set sail from some bright village parlor or lecture room, with a bag of rye or Indian meal upon my shoulder, for my snug harbor in the woods, having made all tight without and withdrawn under hatches with a merry crew of thoughts, leaving only my outer man at the helm, or even tying up the helm when it was plain sailing. 当我在城里待到了很晚的时候，才出发回入黑夜之中，这是很愉快的，特别在那些墨黑的、有风暴的夜晚，我从一个光亮的村屋或演讲厅里开航，在肩上带了一袋黑麦或印第安玉米粉，驶进林中我那安乐的港埠，外面的一切都牢靠了，带着快乐的思想退到甲板下面，只留我的外表的人把着舵，但要是航道平静，我索性用绳子把舵拴死了。 4. Every man has to learn the points of compass again as often as he awakes, whether from sleep or any abstraction. Not till we are lost, in other words not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations. 不管是睡觉或其他心不在焉，每一个人都应该在清醒过来之后，经常看看罗盘上的方向。非到我们迷了路，换句话说，非到我们失去了这个世界之后，我们才开始发现我们自己，认识我们的处境，并且认识了我们的联系之无穷的界限。 5. You who govern public affairs, what need have you to employ punishments? Love virtue, and the people will be virtuous. The virtues of a superior man are like the wind; the virtues of a common man are like the grass—the grass, when the wind passes over it, bends. 子为政。焉用杀。子欲善。而民善矣。君子之德风。小人之德草。草上之风。必偃。 virtue n.美德；德行；优点；贞操 Fidelity to engagement is a virtue. 信守诺言是一种美德。 superior n.上级；高手；上标 adj.高傲的；上层的；上好的；出众的 He always does what his superiors tell him. 他惟上级之命是从。 infinite adj.无穷的；无限的 n.无限 Teaching little children takes infinite patience. 教幼儿需有极大的耐心。 pleasant adj.令人愉快的；讨人欢喜的；舒适的；宜人的 We spent many hours in a pleasant conversation. 我们畅谈了好几个小时。 gossip n.流言蜚语；爱说长道短的人；闲话 vi.散播(流言蜚语) There has been much gossip in political circles. 政界里有许多流言蜚语。
