（单词翻译）

One of the pleasantest things in the world is going a journey: but I like to go by myself.

I can enjoy society in a room; but out of doors, nature is company enough for me.

I am then never less alone than when alone.

" The fields his study, nature was his book." I can not see the wit of walking and talking at the same time.

When I am in the country I wish to vegetate2 like the country.

I am not for criticizing hedges and black cattle.

I go out for town in order to forget the town and all that is in it.

There are those who for this purpose go to watering places, and carry the metropolis3 with them.

I like more space and fewer obstacles.

I like solitude4, when I give myself up to it, for the sake of solitude; nor do I ask for" a friend in my retreat,

whom I may whisper solitude is sweet." The soul of journey is liberty, perfect liberty, to think,

feel, do, just as one pleases.

We go a journey chiefly to be free of all obstacles and all inconveniences; to leave ourselves behind,

much more to get rid of others.

It is because I want a little breathing space to ponder on indifferent matters, where contemplation" May plume5 her feathers and let grow her wings,

that in the various bustle6 of resort were all too ruffled7, and sometimes impaired8." I absent myself from the town for a while,

without feeling at a loss the moment I am left by myself.

Instead of a friend in a post chaise or in a carriage, to exchange good things with,

and vary the same stale topics over again, for once let me have a time free from manners.

Give me the clear blue sky over my head, and the green turf beneath my feet,

a winding9 road before me, and the three hours ' march to dinner - and then to thinking!

It is hard if I can not start some game on these lone1 heaths.

I laugh, I run, I leap, I sing for joy!

From the point of yonder rolling cloud I plunge10 into my past being, and revel11 there as the sun burnt Indian plunges12 headlong into the wave that wafts13 him to his native shore.

Then long forgotten things like" sunken wrack14 and sumless treasuries15", burst upon my eager sight, and I begin to feel,

think, and be myself again.

Instead of an awkward silence, broken by attempts at wit or dull commonplaces, mine is that undisturbed silence of the heart which alone is perfect eloquence16.
