At night there was never a traveller passed my house, or knocked at my door, more than if I were the first or last man; unless it were in the spring, when at long intervals some came from the village to fish for pouts — they plainly fished much more in the Walden Pond of their own natures, and baited their hooks with darkness — but they soon retreated, usually with light baskets, and left "the world to darkness and to me," and the black kernel of the night was never profaned by any human neighborhood.

从没有一个人在晚上经过我的屋子，或叩我的门，我仿佛是人类中的第一个人或最后一个人，除非在春天里，隔了很长久的时候，有人从村里来钓鳘鱼，——在瓦尔登湖中，很显然他们能钓到的只是他们自己的多种多样的性格，而钩子只能钩到黑夜而已——他们立刻都撤走了，常常是鱼篓很轻地撤退的，又把"世界留给黑夜和我"，而黑夜的核心是从没有被任何人类的邻舍污染过的。

晚上，从来不会有过路人经过我的房子，或者有人来敲门，就好像我就是我的世界里第一个人也是最后一个人。但这种情况随着春天的到来就会结束，很偶尔会有一些村里的人来钓鱼。他们只能够钓到他们的自私，而且他们也只能用黑暗当成诱饵。但是他们很快就离开了，而且他们的篮子一般也装不走什么东西。他们又重新把这个世界留给了黑暗和我。黑夜的灵魂从来也没有被那些我的人类邻居所玷污。

This rise and fall of Walden at long intervals serves this use at least; the water standing at this great height for a year or more, though it makes it difficult to walk round it, kills the shrubs and trees which have sprung up about its edge since the last rise —— pitch pines, birches, alders, aspens, and others —— and,falling again, leaves an unobstructed shore; for, unlike many ponds and all waters which are subject to a daily tide, its shore is cleanest when the water is lowest.

第一个到这个湖边来的人们可能留下过他们的足迹。我曾经很惊异地发现，就在沿湖被砍伐了的一个浓密的森林那儿，峻削的山崖中，有一条绕湖一匝的狭窄的高架的小径，一会儿上，一忽儿下，一会儿接近湖，一忽儿又离远了一些，它或许和人类同年，土著的猎者，用脚步走出了这条路来，以后世世代代都有这片土地上的居住者不知不觉地用脚走过去。

间隔很久的瓦尔登湖的涨落至少有这样一个作用：在最高的水位维持了一年左右，沿湖步行固然困难了，但自从上一次水涨以来，沿湖生长的灌木和苍松，白桦，桤木，白杨等树木都给冲刷掉了，等它水位退下，就留下一片干净的湖岸，它不像别的湖沼和每天水位涨落的河流，它在水位最低时，湖岸上反而最清洁。

As the speed increased, and the Toad could see on either side of him real fields, and trees, and hedges, and cows, and horses, all flying past him, and as he thought how every minute was bringing him nearer to Toad Hall, and sympathetic friends, and money to chink in his pocket, and a soft bed to sleep in, and good things to eat, and praise and admiration at the recital of his adventures and his surpassing cleverness, he began to skip up and down and shout and sing snatches of song, to the great astonishment of the engine-driver, who had come across washerwomen before, at long intervals, but never one at all like this.

车速越来越快，蟾蜍看到两旁实实在在的田野、树丛、矮篱、牛、马，飞一般地从他身边闪过。他想到，每过一分钟，他就离蟾宫更近，想到同情他的朋友、衣袋里丁当作响的钱币、软软的床、美味的食物，想到人们对他的历险故事和过人的聪明齐声赞叹，——想到这—切，他禁不住蹦上蹦下，大声喊叫，断断续续地唱起歌来。火车司机大为惊诧，因为洗衣妇他以前偶尔也碰到过，但这样一位洗衣妇，他可是从没见过。

We have no common name for a mime of Sophron or Xenarchus and a Socratic Conversation; and we should still be without one even if the imitation in the two instances were in trimeters or elegiacs or some other kind of verse--though it is the way with people to tack on 'poet' to the name of a metre, and talk of elegiac-poets and epic-poets, thinking that they call them poets not by reason of the imitative nature of their work, but indiscriminately by reason of the metre they write in.

索夫农 、森那库斯和苏格拉底式的对话采用的模仿没有一个公共的名称；三音步诗、挽歌体或其他类型的诗的模仿也没有——人们把&诗人&这一名词和格律名称结合到一起，称之为挽歌体诗人或者史诗诗人，他们被称为诗人，似乎只是因为遵守格律写作，而非他们作品的模仿本质。

The relationship between communicative competence and grammar teaching should be that of the ends and the means.
