> 第十九篇 自我意识 Self-Awareness
> Virginia Woolf/弗吉尼亚.吴尔夫

> The man who is aware of himself is henceforth independent; and he is never
> bored, and life is
> only too short, and he is steeped through and through with profound yet
> temperate happiness. He
> alone lives, while other people, slaves of ceremony, let life slip past time
> in a kind of dream.

> Once conform ,once do what other people do finer than they do it, and a
> lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul, He
> becomes all outer show and inward emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent.
> 凡是意识到自我的人从今往后才是独立的；他永远不知疲倦，他明白生命苦短，所以完全沉浸于深深的而又适度的幸福之中。他独立生活，而别人是繁文缛节的奴隶，在醉­生梦死之中听从生命悄然流逝。一旦循规蹈矩，一旦人为亦为，呆滞就笼罩着灵魂中一切灵敏的神经和官能。灵魂变得徒有其表，其中空空；迟钝，木然、冷漠。

> 第二十一篇 发现 Discovery

> Diane Ackerman/迪安.阿克曼

> The word “discovery” literally means, uncovering something that’s hidden
> from view. But
> what really happens is a change in the viewer. The familiar offers comfort
> few can resist, and
> fewer still want to disturb. But as relatively recent inventions such as the
> telescope and
> microscope have taught us, the unknown has many layers. Every truth has
> geological strata, and
> you can’t have an orthodoxy without a heresy.
> The moment a newborn opens its eyes, discovery begins.
> I learned this with a laugh one morning after delivering a calf. When it
> lifted up its fluffy head and looked at me, its eyes held the absolute
> bewilderment of the newly born. A moment before it had the even black
> nowhere of the womb, and suddenly its world was full of colour, movement and
> noise. I’ve never seen anything so shocked to be alive.

> “发现”一词，字面上是指揭开某种视线以外的隐藏的事物。不过其实是观察者自身发生了变化。很少人能抗拒熟悉事物带来的舒适，愿意扰乱这种舒适的人更少。然而，­正如望远镜、显微镜这些较为近期的发明所揭示给我们的，求知事物具有多种层次。每个事实都有地质层次，没有异端也就无所谓正统。
> 新生儿睁开双眼的那一刻起，发现也就开始了。
> 我是在一天清晨给一头小牛犊接生的时候突然意识到这一点的，不禁大笑。小牛仰起毛茸茸的脑袋看着我，目光中透出这个新生命对世界的一无所知。片刻这前，它还呆在­母体里某个黑暗而平静的地方，突然，它的世界变得五光十色，变得活泼而喧闹。我从未见过任何东西在获得生命时是如些的惊异。
