2021年7月4日 美国独立日 《古大叔小木屋》——梭罗的屋子 现场直播实况录制 晚9:00——10:00 英文文本: There is no odor[ˈəudə] so bad as that which arises from goodness tainted. It is human, it is divine, carrion [ˈkæriən] . If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life, as from that dry and parching wind of the African deserts called the simoom[siˈmuːm] , which fills the mouth and nose and ears and eyes with dust till you are suffocated[ˈsʌfəkeitid], for fear that I should get some of his good done to me - some of its virus mingled with my blood. No - in this case I would rather suffer evil the natural way. A man is not a good man to me because he will feed me if I should be starving, or warm me if I should be freezing, or pull me out of a ditch[ditʃ] if I should ever fall into one. I can find you a Newfoundland[njuːˈfaundlənd] dog that will do as much. Philanthropy[fiˈlænθrəpi] is not love for one's fellow-man in the broadest sense. Howard ['hauәd] was no doubt an exceedingly kind and worthy man in his way, and has his reward; but, comparatively speaking, what are a hundred Howards to us, if their phi’lanthropy do not help us in our best estate, when we are most worthy to be helped? I never heard of a philanthropic[ˌfilənˈθrɔpik] meeting in which it was sincerely proposed to do any good to me, or the like of me. The Jesuits[ˈdʒezjuits] were quite balked[bɔːk]犹豫by those Indians who, being burned at the stake, suggested new modes of torture to their tormentors[tɔːˈmentəs]. Being superior to physical suffering, it sometimes chanced that they were superior to any consolation[ˌkɔnsəˈleiʃən] which the missionaries [ˈmiʃənəriz] could offer; and the law to do as you would be done by fell with less persuasiveness[pə'sweɪsɪvnəs] on the ears of those who, for their part, did not care how they were done by, who loved their enemies after a new fashion, and came very near freely forgiving them/ all they did.
