　　：家

　　We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but, lower morals.

　　我們學會了奔跑，卻忘記了如何等待;我們的收入越來越高，道德水平卻越來越低。

　　We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; we’ve become long on quantity, but short on quality.

　　我們製造了更多的計算機來儲存更多的資訊，製造了最多的副本，卻減少了交流;我們開始渴望數量，但忽視了質量。

　　：Feeling in Snow

　　As soon as I walked outside, I was greeted with the shimmering white blanket of cold. Despite the chill overwhelming my skin, inside I was warm. I felt as though I could be giving off heat; I had the desire to stay out in this freeze for hours. It was the type of day that speaks to you through its elements; I took a deep breath to hear more snow was coming.

　　As I walked I looked up, trying to realize what made this day so beautiful, so serene. It was as if time had been put temporarily on hold and I along with it. Or maybe I was the only one unpaused…Either way, the solitude was comforting, and I sensed myself floating away. I sat down on the edge of a curb and listened. All there was to hear was the wind rushing over the top of my head and circling some old, cracking leaves some yards away. To me it was the reassuring sound of nature, trying not to be forgotten.

　　It did start to snow. None of those little flurries, but big, fat flakes which clung immediately to their surface.

　　Then it was time to go and my reverie had to end. As I began walking again, I drifted back into this time frame, calm and cleared.

　　Now if only I could remember where I was going.

　　中文：雪天隨想

　　剛出門，便撲面而來一大片晶瑩雪白的冰涼。冷氣襲來，肌膚陣陣戰慄，而內心卻溫暖如初。覺得自己似乎能發熱，因而渴望在這寒冷中長時間駐足。這是一個大自然與你交流的日子。我深深地吸了一口氣，靜聽雪花飄落，源源不絕。

　　漫步雪中，舉目四顧，我努力思索是什麼竟然能夠把這一天變得如此美麗和寧靜。那一刻，時間彷彿靜止了，而我也定在其中。或者，只有我一個人在前行……

　　無論如何，這種孤寂卻令人欣慰。我彷彿脫離了塵世。坐在路邊，仔細聆聽。只有風從頭頂掠過，捲走幾碼遠的乾枯樹葉。在我心中，這是大自然給人安慰、令人難忘的聲音。

　　真的下雪了!不是零星小雪，而是鵝毛大雪，一落地就凝結在一起了。

　　該結束沉思離開了!我舉步前行時，思緒又轉回到現實中來，而此時感覺如此平靜，如此清新。

　　我實在記不得我要往何處去了!

　　：自我意識

　　The man who is aware of himself is henceforth independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with profound yet temperate happiness. He alone lives, while other people, slaves of ceremony, let life slip past time in a kind of dream. Once conform, once do what other people do finer than they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul, He becomes all outer show and inward emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent.

　　凡是意識到自我的人從今往後才是獨立的;他永遠不知疲倦，他明白生命苦短，所以完全沉浸於深深的而又適度的幸福之中。他獨立生活，而別人是繁文縟節的奴隸，在醉生夢死之中聽從生命悄然流逝。一旦循規蹈矩，一旦人為亦為，呆滯就籠罩著靈魂中一切靈敏的神經和官能。靈魂變得徒有其表，其中空空;遲鈍，木然、冷漠。
