（单词翻译）

Walt Whitman (1819 – 1892)


I think I could turn and live awhile with the animals ... they are so placid1 and self-contained,


I stand and look at them sometimes half the day long.


They do not sweat and whine2 about their condition,


They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,


They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God,


Not one is dissatisfied ... not one is demented with the mania3 of owning things,


Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago,


Not one is respectable or industrious4 over the whole earth.
