KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature. Most persons do not see the sun. At least they have a very superficial seeing. The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and heart of the child.
说实话，很少有成年人能看到大自然。大多数人看不到太阳。至少他们的视觉很肤浅。太阳只照亮男人的眼睛，却照亮了孩子的眼睛和心灵。
I have always thought it would be a blessing if each person could be blind and deaf for a few days during his early adult life. Darkness would make him appreciate sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.

The distinction between children and adults, while probably useful for some purposes, is at bottom a specious one, I feel. There are only individual egos, crazy for love.
我觉得，儿童和成人之间的区别，尽管在某些方面可能有用，但本质上是似是而非的。世界上只有为爱疯狂的个人自我。
Even when adults do feel their safety to be threatened, we may not be able to see this on the surface. Infants will react in a fashion as if they were endangered, if they are disturbed or dropped suddenly, startled by loud noises, flashing light, or
即使成年人感到他们的安全受到威胁，我们可能也无法从表面上看到这一点。如果婴儿突然受到干扰或跌落、被巨大的噪音、闪烁的灯光吓到，或
Part of my plan has been to try to pleasantly remind adults of what they once were themselves, and of how they felt and thought and talked, and what queer enterprises they sometimes engaged in
我计划的一部分是试着愉快地提醒成年人他们曾经是什么样子，他们的感受、想法和谈话，以及他们有时从事的那些奇怪的事业
It changed me more than anything else. You don't want to get to that place where you're the adult and you're palpably in the next generation. And, this shoved me into that.
它最能改变我。你不会想要达到那种你已经是成年人，而且明显是在下一代的状态。这让我陷入了困境。
