1FindtheChineseversionofTao’spoem,andtranslateThoreau’squoteintoChinese.歸園田居（其一）陶淵明少無適俗韻，性本愛丘山。誤落塵網(wǎng)中，一去十三年。羈鳥戀舊林，池魚思故淵。開荒南野際，守拙歸園田。方宅十余畝，草屋八九間。榆柳蔭后檐，桃李羅堂前。曖曖遠(yuǎn)人村，依依墟里煙。狗吠深巷中，雞鳴桑樹顛。戶庭無塵雜，虛室有余閑。久在樊籠里，復(fù)得返自然。

Activity4好好度過每一個季節(jié)，呼吸新鮮的空氣， 暢飲美酒，品嘗水果，盡情享受這一切。讓生活中只有飲食和草藥。

hewouldnot“bowlikeaservantinretumforfivedouofgrain".為了重歸自然，兩人的生活都發(fā)生了戲劇性的轉(zhuǎn)變。陶淵明是東晉的官員，但是對官場生活感到困惑。公元405年，陶淵明辭去了官職，以表達(dá)他對仕途的不滿，用今天的一句名言形容就是“不為五斗米折腰”。2Hespentthenext22yearsuntilhisdeath,

wecanlearnthatalthoughhislifewasarduous,he

succededinfindingcontentmentinitssimplicityandin

drawingpleasurefromnature.在之后的22年里，直到生命的盡頭，他躬耕于田野，生活在清貧的農(nóng)村。我們可以從他的詩歌中看出，盡管生活艱苦，但他從這種簡單的生活中成功獲得了滿足感，并從大自然中獲得了樂趣。3WhileTao'sreturntonaturewasareaction

onhimselfandhiswriting.陶淵明回歸大自然是對自己反對的生活方式做出的一種反應(yīng)，而梭羅則是出于個人的決定而改變自己的生活方式。雖然梭羅過著體面的生活，但他希望活得更簡單些。兩年兩個月零兩天，他住在瓦爾登湖邊森林里的一間小屋里，專注于自身和寫作。3Heexplainedhis

reasonfordoingsoinWalden:“Iwenttothe

woodsbecauseIwishedtolivedeliberately,tofrontonlytheessentialfactsoflife."Bothmen

werehappytowithdrawfromcontemporary

life,seckingaharmoniousrelationshipwith

aboutisincontrasttoandcriticalofthedepressivecourtlife:盡管陶淵明和梭羅對待自然的方式不同，但他們的作品都展現(xiàn)了自然的美麗和價值。陶淵明的自然是田野和村莊，換句話說，是田園。他的動物們都是家養(yǎng)的，比如雞和狗。他描寫的平靜祥和的生活，與壓抑的官場生活形成鮮明對比，是對壓抑的官場生活的批判:Beyondthedarkanddistanceliesavllage,Thesmokeabovereluctanttodepart.Adogisbarkingsomeuberedounthelane,Andchickenssitatopthemulberrytree.噯曖遠(yuǎn)人村，依依墟里煙。狗吠深巷中，雞鳴桑樹頗。5.Thoreau'sdescriptionsofnatureemphasised

梭羅在描述自然時，重點描繪了他周圍原野的美麗與純粹。他全身心投入到觀察自然現(xiàn)象中，并在日記中詳細(xì)地記錄了自己的發(fā)現(xiàn)。梭羅的寫作意在使人們信服,動物和植物就像我們?nèi)祟愐粯佣加猩婧头睒s的權(quán)利。我們應(yīng)該與它們和諧共處，享受大自然的恩賜，正如他在日記中描述的那樣:Liveineachseasonasitpasses;bre
