A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
表面
Surface
Just under the surface I shall be, all together at first, then separate and drift, through all the earth and perhaps in the end through a cliff into the sea, something of me. A ton of worms in an acre, that is a wonderful thought, a ton of worms, I believe it.
就在水面下,我将会,一开始都在一起,然后分离和漂流,穿过整个地球,也许最后穿过悬崖进入大海,成为我的一部分。一亩地里有一吨虫子,这是个好主意,一吨虫子,我相信。
We are told that the trouble with modern man is that he has been trying to detach himself from nature... In this scenario, Man comes on as a stupendous lethal force, and the Earth is pictured as something delicate, like rising bubbles at the surface of a country pond, or flights of fragile birds.
我们被告知现代人的问题在于他一直试图使自己脱离自然。在这种情况下,人类作为一种巨大的致命力量出现,而地球被描绘成一种微妙的东西,就像一个乡村池塘表面升起的气泡,或者脆弱的鸟类的飞翔。

If people choose to engage on a one-dimensional level that's fine. But going beyond the surface can enrich ourselves as human beings.
如果人们选择在一个一维的层面上参与,那很好。但是,超越表面可以丰富我们作为人类自己。
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
