美文閱讀：獨身生活的回報
那一刻，世界消逝殆盡了，而自我從深層的無意識中再一次浮現，這才使我想起最近所經歷的一切，讓我去探究、去愎慢了解。下面是本站小編爲大家帶來英語經典美文：獨身生活的回報，希望大家喜歡!
For me the most interesting thing about a solitarylife,and mine has been that for the last twenty years,isthat it becomes increasingly I canwake up and watch the sun rise over the ocean, as Idomost days, and know that I have an entire dayahead,uninterrupted, in which to write a few pages, takea walk with my dog,lie down in the afternoon for a think(Why does one think better in a horizontal position?),read and listen to music, I am flooded with happiness.
I am lonely only when I am overtired, when I have worked too long without a break, when for thetime beingI feel empty and need filling I am lonely sometimes when I come back home aftera lecture trip, when I have seen a lot of people and talked a lot,and am full to the brim withexperience that needs to be sorted out.
Then for a little while the house feels huge and empty, and I wonder where myself is hasbeen recaptured slowly by watering the plants, perhaps, and looking again at each one as though itwere a person,by feeding the two cats, by cooking a meal.
It takes a while, as I watch the surf blowing up in fountains at the end of the field,but the momentwhen the world falls away,and the self emerges again from the deep unconsciousness,bringing backall I have recently experienced to be explored and slowly understood,when I can converse againwith my hidden powers,andso grow, and so be rewarded, till death do us part.
美文翻譯：
對我而言,獨身生活中最有趣的——也是我最近20年以來深有體會的——就是它使生活變得越來越有情調了。當我早展醒來看到太陽從大海上冉冉升起的時候——儘管我幾乎每天都是如此——我就知道面前將有沒人打攪的整整一天時間了。在這一天裏，我可以悠閒地寫幾頁文章，可以帶着狗散散步,午後還可以躺下來思考思考問題(爲什麼平躺的時候更加有利於思考呢?)，看看書，聽聽音樂，心中洋溢着快樂之情。
只有在我過度疲勞的時候，或是在我工作太久而沒有休息的時候,或是在我當時覺得空虛因而需要充實的時候，我纔會感到孤獨。而有時，當我在外地演講後趕回家的時候，當我和許多人見面並且交談甚多的時候，當許多經歷多得要溢出來，因而需要整理的時候，我纔會感到孤獨。
那個時候，房子一度讓人覺得太大、太空，而我卻不知道自我藏身於何處。也許通過給花草澆水，並對其逐一端詳，好像端詳人一樣;也許通過喂那兩隻貓和做一餐飯，我才能又慢慢捕捉到自我了。
過了 一會兒，我看到地平線的盡頭海浪如泉水般噴涌，那一刻，世界消逝殆盡了，而自我從深層的無意識中再一次浮現，這才使我想起最近所經歷的一切，讓我去探究、去愎慢了解。此時，我又能與隱藏的力量交流了，於是我又在成長，並在成長中得到回報，直到死亡將我們分開。
