[00:14.68]25 The lesson of a tree一棵树的启示
[00:17.37]I should not take either the biggest or the most picturesque tree to illustrate it.我不会列举最直耸云天或者最绚烂夺目的树来说明这个问题。
[00:23.88]Here is one of my favorites now before me, a fine yellow poplar, quite straight, perhaps 90 feet high, and four thick at the butt.现在我面前的是一棵我最爱的树，一颗茂盛的黄白杨，树十笔直，可能有90英尺高，最粗的地方有4英尺。
[00:34.23]How strong, vital, enduring! how dumbly eloquent! What suggestions of imperturbability and being, as against the human trait of mere seeming.多么强壮，多么生机勃勃，多么坚韧不拔！多么口若悬河，而又默默无闻！这是沉着冷静、存在即真的表现，与人仅仅注重外表的性格恰恰相反。
[00:48.70]Then the qualities, almost emotional, palpably artistic, heroic, of a tree; so innocent and harmless, yet so savage.一棵树情感丰富，艺术感唾手可得，英雄气十足；天真无知，无心害人，而又冷酷无情。
[01:01.33]It is, yet says nothing. How it rebukes by its tough and equable serenity all weathers,一棵树具备这些气质，却从不言语。树以坚强和一如既往的平静指责所有阴晴雨雪天气，
[01:10.49]this gusty-temper’d little whiffet, man, that runs indoors at a mite of rain or snow.大风来袭也只是轻轻摇曳，只要有一丝雨水或者一片雪花，人就会跑进室内。
[01:18.26]Science (or rather half-way science) scoffs at reminiscence of dryad and hamadryad, and of trees speaking.科学（或伪科学）嘲笑人们同忆森林女神和树神，嘲笑树问的轻语。
[01:28.70]But, if they don’t, they do as well as most speaking, writing, poetry, sermons―or rather they do a great deal better.但是，如果不介意，他们同样可以讲演，可以写作，可以吟诗，可以布道――或者他们可以做得更好。
[01:39.01]I should say indeed that those old dryad-reminiscences are quite as true as any, and profounder than most reminiscences we get.我应该说这些古老的回忆的确千真万确，比我们所作的大多数追忆更加深刻。
[01:48.41](“Cut this out,” as the quack mediciners say, and keep by you.) Go and sit in a grove or woods, with one or more of those voiceless companions, and read the foregoing, and think.（“把树切断”，庸医说这话的时候，你把树据为已有。）坐在小树林或森林中，与这些默默无语的朋友相伴，回忆往事，陷入深思。
[02:05.62]One lesson from affiliating a tree―perhaps the greatest moral lesson anyhow from earth, rocks, animals, is that same lesson of inherency,追溯一棵树的根源得到的启示――也许从土地、岩石、动物身上获得的最伟大的道德启示同样是内在的属性，
[02:17.73]of what is, without the least regard to what the looker on (the critic) supposes or says, or whether he likes or dislikes.无论旁观者（评论家）如何猜想或评论，无论他喜欢抑或厌悲，都坚守自己的初衷。
[02:28.29]What worse―what more general malady pervades each and all of us, our literature, education, attitude toward each other,更糟的是――我们之间常出现的流行病，我们的文学、教育、待人态度
[02:38.48](even toward ourselves,) than a morbid trouble about seems, (generally temporarily seems too,) and no trouble at all, or hardly any,（甚至待己态度）之间常出现的问题和疾病一样看起来不会造成困难，或者根本就没有困难
[02:48.92]about the sane, slow-growing, perennial, real parts of character, books, friendship, marriage―humanity’s invisible foundations and hold-together?只是健全的、慢慢生长的、终年存在的人性的本质，书籍、友情、婚姻的本质――人类无形的根基，紧紧地连接在一起？
