英语翻译
The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists.Descriptions like ‘ Palaeolithic Man’,‘Neolithic Man’,etc.,neatly sum up whole periods.When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century,they will surely choose the label ‘Legless Man’.Histories of the time will go something like this:‘in the twentieth century,people forgot how to use their legs.Men and women moved about in cars,buses and trains from a very early age.There were lifts and escalators in all large buildings to prevent people from walking.This situation was forced upon earth dwellers of that time because of miles each day.But the surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday.They built cable railways,ski-lifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain.All the beauty spots on earth were marred by the presence of large car parks.’
The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes.In our hurry to get from one place to another,we failed to see anything on the way.Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world – or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way.When you travel by car or train a blurred image of the countryside constantly smears the windows.Car drivers,in particular,are forever obsessed with the urge to go on and on:they never want to stop.Is it the lure of the great motorways,or what?And as for sea travel,it hardly deserves mention.It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song:‘I joined the navy to see the world,and what did I see?I saw the sea.’ The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says ‘I’ve been there.’ You mention the remotest,most evocative place-names in the world like El Dorado,Kabul,Irkutsk and someone is bound to say ‘I’ve been there’ – meaning,‘I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to omewhere else.’
When you travel at high speeds,the present means nothing:you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place.But actual arrival,when it is achieved,is meaningless.You want to move on again.By traveling like this,you suspend all experience; the present ceases to be a reality:you might just as well be dead.The traveler on foot,on the other hand,lives constantly in the present.For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing:he arrives somewhere with every step he makes.He experiences the present moment with his eyes,his ears and the whole of his body.At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical weariness.He knows that sound.Satisfying sleep will be his:the just reward of all true travellers.
人历代都被仔细地标记的人类学家.像'说明旧石器时代人','新石器人'等,整齐地总结整个时期.当人类学家的时间来到他们的目光转向20世纪,他们一定会选择标签'无腿人'
.史的时间会是这样的:在20世纪',人们忘记了如何使用自己的腿.男子和妇女提出有关汽车,公共汽车和火车,从很小的时候.在所有有大型建筑升降机及自动扶梯,以防止走路的人.这种情况迫使后,由于英里的时间每天地球上的人.但surp
上升的是,他们没有使用它们的腿,即使他们去度假.他们修建铁路线,滑雪升降机和每一个巨大的山顶的道路.地球上所有的名胜而遭到破坏的大型停车场的存在.'
未来的历史书也可以记录在案,我们都是在使用我们的眼睛被剥夺.在我们急于从一个地方到另一个地方,我们看不到任何东西的方式.航空旅行给你一个鸟瞰世界的看法-甚至更少,如果飞机的机翼发生在得到您的方式.
当你乘坐汽车或火车的模糊,农村的形象,不断涂片的窗户.尤其是汽车司机,永远沉迷于渴望继续下去:他们从来没有想停止.这是否吸引伟大的高速公路,还是什么?而对于海上旅行,它几乎不值得一提.这是完全总结
老歌曲的话:'我加入海军,看看世界,我看到了什么?我看到了大海.典型的20世纪的旅客是谁的人总是说'我去过那里.'你提到的边远,最令人回味的地名,世界上像埃尔多拉多,喀布尔,伊尔库茨克,有人一定会说'我已经有' -意思,'我就开车100英里的时速在通过它的方式到omewhere东西.'
当你在高速旅行,目前没有任何意义:你日后的生活,主要是因为你用你的时间,期待在其他一些地方到达.但实际到达,当它实现,是毫无意义的.你想继续前进了.通过这样的旅行,你停止所有的经验;目前不再是一个现实:你或许也同样是死.
在徒步旅行者另一方面,生活在目前不断.对他的旅行和到达之一,同样的事情:他到地方与他做的每一步.他的经验,他的眼睛,他的耳朵和他的全身现在.在他的终点,他觉得身体疲劳美味
.他知道声音.满足睡眠将是他:刚刚奖励的所有真正的旅客.
