阳光下的时光

Hour in the Sun/阳光下的时光
John H.Bradley/约翰·布莱德利 “…I was rich, if not in money, in sunny hours and summer days.”----- Henry David Thoreau.“……我虽然不富甲天下，却拥有无数个艳阳天和夏日。”----亨利·大卫·梭罗When Thoreau wrote that line, he was thinking of the Walden. Pond he knew as a boy.写这句话时，梭罗想起孩提时代的瓦尔登湖。Woodchoppers and the Iron Horse had not yet greatly damaged the beauty of its setting. A boy could go to the pond and lie on his back against the seat of a boat, lazily drifting from shore to shore while the loons dived and the swallows dipped around him. Thoreau loved to recall such sunny hours and summer days “when idleness was the most attractive and productive business.”当时伐木者和火车尚未严重破坏湖畔的美丽景致。
