Ralph-Waldo-Emerson--拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生PPT课件.ppt

For, nature is not always tricked in holiday attire, but the same scene which yesterday breathed perfume and glittered as for the frolic of the nymphs(少女), is overspread with melancholy today. Nature always wears the colors of the spirit. To a man laboring under calamity, the heat of his own fire hath sadness in it. Then, there is a kind of contempt of the landscape felt by him who has just lost by death a dear friend. The sky is less grand as it shuts down over less worth in the population. 自然并不总悦人以节日盛装，昨日氤氲芬芳晶亮悦目,如为林仙嬉乐而设的同一景致，今天就可能蒙上悲伤的面纱。自然总是折射着观者的精神状态。对于在病痛中挣扎的人，他自身散发的焦虑挣扎就涵容着悲伤。当爱友逝去时，人们会对那风景感到些许漠然。当蓝天落幕于社会底层者眼前，它的壮丽也会减色。? ?

Man is not a farmer , or a professor , or an engineer , but he is all . Man is priest , and scholar , and statesman , and producer , and soldier. In the divided or social state , these functions are parceled out to individuals , each of whom aims to do his stint of the joint work , the fable implies , that the individual , to possess himself , must sometimes return from his own labor to embrace all the other laborers . The American Scholar But unfortunately , this original unit , this fountain of power , has been so distributed to multitudes , has been so minutely subdivided and peddled out , that it is spilled into drops , and can not be gathered. The state of society is one in which the members have suffered from the trunk , and strut about so many walking monsters , ? a good finger , a neck , a stomach , an elbow , but never a man .
