Love Your Life热爱生活
By Henry David Thoreau
However mean your life is, meet it and live it
不论你的生活怎么样卑微，你都得面对与度过
do not shun it and call it hard names
不要逃避，更不要抱怨
it is not so bad as you are
生活不像你觉得的那般坏
It looks poorest when you are richest
当你富甲天下之时，生活却看上去贫瘠乏味
The fault finder will find faults in paradise
即便在天堂，爱找缺点的人也能找到缺点。
Love your life, poor as it is
即便生活贫穷，你也该热爱生活
You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house
由于就是在贫济院，你也有自己快乐激动与光荣的岁月
The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man's abode
夕阳照在贫济院窗上的反光与照在富人家的一样耀目
The snow melts before its door as early in the spring.
其门前的积雪也同样在早春融化
I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there
我只不过看到，一个心绪宁静的人即使居住在贫济院，生活起来也会心认可足。
And have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.
思想愉悦，好似生活在皇宫中一样。
The town`s poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.
在我看来，城镇中的贫民大凡过着最为无拘无束的生活。
Maybe they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.
可能他们只不过超乎一般，不然岂会毫无疑惧地同意这所有。
Most think that they are above being supported by the town.
大部分人觉得自己超凡脱俗而无须依靠城镇的资助
