§ Lesson 27 Nothing to sell and
nothing to buy 不卖也不买
Listen to the tape then
answer the question below.
Listen the tape
then answer the question below.
What is the
most important thing for a tramp?
2 7
It has been said that everyone
lives by selling something. In the
light of
this statement, teachers live by selling
knowledge,
philosophers by selling wisdom and
priests by selling spiritual
comfort. Though
it may be possible to measure the value of
material
goods in terms of money, it is
extremely difficult to estimate the
true value
of the services which people perform for us. There
are
times when we would willingly give
everything we possess to save
our lives, yet
we might grudge paying a surgeon a high fee for
offering us precisely this
service. The
conditions of society are such that skills have to
be paid for in the same way that
goods are
paid for at a shop. Everyone has something to
sell.
Tramps seem to be the only exception to
this general rule. Beggars almost sell
themselves as human beings to arouse the pity
of passers-by. But real tramps are not beggars.
They have nothing to sell and require nothing
from others. In seeking independence, they do
not sacrifice their human dignity. A tramp may
ask you for money, but he will never ask you
to feel sorry for him. He has deliberately
chosen to lead the life he leads and is fully
aware of
the consequences. He may never be
sure where the next meal is coming from, but he is
free
from the thousands of anxieties which
afflict other people. His few material possession
make
it possible for him to move from place to
place with ease. By having to sleep in the open,
he
gets far closer to the world of nature than
most of us ever do. He may hunt, beg, or steal
occasionally to keep himself alive; he may
even in times of real need, do a little work; but
he
will never sacrifice his freedom We often
speak of tramps with contempt and put them in the
same class as beggars, but how many of us can
honestly say that we have not felt a little
envious of their simple way of life and their
freedom from care?
参考译文
据说每个人都靠出售某种东西
来维持生活。根据这种说法，教师靠卖知识为生，哲学家靠卖智慧为生，
牧师靠卖精神安慰为生。虽然物
质产品的价值可以用金钱来衡量，但要估算别人为我们为所提供的服务的
价值却是极其困难的。有时，我
们为了挽救生命，愿意付出我们所占有的一切。但就在外科大夫给我们提
供了这种服务后，我们却可能为
所支付的昂贵的费用而抱怨。社会上的情况就是如此，技术是必须付钱去
买的，就像在商店里要花钱买商
品一样。人人都有东西可以出售。
在这条普遍的规律前面，好像只有流浪汉是个例外，乞丐出售的几乎
是他本人，以引起过路人的怜悯。
但真正的流浪并不是乞丐。他们既不出售任何东西，也不需要从别人那
儿得到任何东西，在追求独立自由
的同时，他们并不牺牲为人的尊严。游浪汉可能会向你讨钱，但他从来
不要你可怜他。他是故意在选择过
那种生活的，并完全清楚以这种方式生活的后果。他可能从不知道下顿
饭有无着落，但他不像有人那样被
千万桩愁事所折磨。他几乎没有什么财产，这使他能够轻松自如地在各
地奔波。由于被迫在露天睡觉，他
比我们中许多人都离大自然近得多。为了生存，他可能会去打猎、乞讨
，偶尔偷上一两回；确实需要的时
候，他甚至可能干一点儿活，但他决不会牺牲自由。说起流浪汉，我们
常常带有轻蔑并把他们与乞丐归为
一类。但是，我们中有多少人能够坦率地说我们对流浪汉的简朴生活与
无忧无虑的境况不感到有些羡慕呢？
