岁月如歌，人生如梦。在这纷繁的世界里，每个人都在追寻着属于自己的那份安宁与满足。然而，有一种生活，无需刻意追求，无需刻意索取，它便在自自然然中悄然绽放。这，便是自在人生。

Years flow like a song, life like a dream. In this complicated world, everyone is pursuing their own piece of peace and satisfaction. However, there is a kind of life that does not require deliberate pursuit or acquisition; it naturally blooms effortlessly. This is what we call a life of ease.

1. “时间使我的心在各种变动人事上感受了点分量不同的压力，我得沉默，得忍受。”有很多东西和人事都会在时间的冲刷下悄然改变，前些天寻到了多年的同学，当时激动的心情彷佛回到童年的没心没肺，马上联系加了微信，寒暄了现状，回顾了过往，过程中竟几次无语。是的，时间已经让我们的友谊永远停留在了那个时候，到今天，中间的这段人生我们不曾参与彼此，又如何懂其悲喜只是再见面时如何不教人感怀时间都去哪了沈先生说，“十个月内死了四个最熟的朋友，这些人的死去值得纪念，纪念的方法应该不是眼泪，不是仪式，也不是言语。”友谊如此，人生如此，时间亦是如此。

1. "Time has subjected my heart to varying degrees of pressure amidst the changing cast of characters, and I have had to remain silent, to endure." Many things and people will change subtly under the scourge of time, and recently, I found a classmate from years ago. The excitement I felt at that moment was as if I had returned to the innocent days of childhood. I immediately got in touch and added him on WeChat, exchanged pleasantries about our current situations, and looked back on the past. During the process, I was actually at a loss for words several times. Yes, time has already left our friendship forever frozen at that moment. Up to this day, we have not been involved in each other's lives in this span of time, so how can we understand each other's joys and sorrows? Only when we meet again, how can it not make people nostalgic about where time has gone? Mr. Shen said, "Within ten months, four of my closest friends have passed away. Their deaths are worth commemorating, and the method of commemoration should not be tears, not rituals, nor words." As is the case with friendship, so is it with life, and so too with time.

2. 作者唯独喜欢那些水手，那些每天在清澈的湘江里与浪花礁石斗智斗勇，漫游山水以船为栖身之地，对每一个朋友都坦诚相待的水手。我尤其喜欢那个水手朋友终于上了岸之后，在琳琅满目的花花世界里，他却把口袋里所有的钱都用来买了作者最爱吃的橘子。

2. The author particularly likes those sailors, who, every day, engage in a battle of wits and courage with the waves and rocks in the clear Xiangjiang River, wander through landscapes taking their boats as their homes, and treat every friend with complete sincerity. I especially like the story of that sailor friend, after finally stepping onto the shore in the midst of the dazzling world of colorful sights, he used all the money in his pocket to buy the author's favorite oranges.

3. 再往后，从“一个多情的水手与一个多情的妇人”到“历史是一条河”，你会了解到，水手和拉船人拿着少得可怜的收入，却干着辛苦且随时有生命危险的行船行当。冬日三九，天再冷，船遇险时照样往下跳，行船过程中，船遇上险滩，河水再凶猛也得冒着生命危险下水护船，十年如一日。而即使这样，这些水手和拉船人却从不曾失去应有的勇敢和努力。而吊脚楼上妇人，多半因为这个社会的黑暗，而即使这样，她们依旧不失去那一份质朴和可爱，以及那一份对生活的纯真希望。

3. Further on, from "A passionate sailor and a passionate woman" to "History is a river," you will learn that sailors and boatmen earn a meager income while engaging in a hard and life-threatening occupation of navigation. In the winter, when it's as cold as the coldest of the three nine days, they still jump into the water when the boat encounters danger. During the journey, if the boat meets a dangerous rapid and the river is raging, they must dive into the water, risking their lives to protect the boat, day in and day out for ten years. And even so, these sailors and boatmen never lost their due courage and diligence. As for the women on the hanging foot platform, most of them, due to the darkness of this society, still maintain their simplicity and charm, as well as their innocent hope for life.

4. 我想，先前我也错了，正如沈所说的，我们并不是可怜的生，也不是无所谓的生，无论是在自然上，还是在各自的生活上，是担负有各自的一份责任的。

4. I believe that I was wrong before as well, just as Shen said, we are not mere, pitiable lives, nor are we lives without purpose. Whether it be in nature or in our own lives, we each bear our own share of responsibilities.

5. 歌德曾说：“读一本好书，就是和一位品德高尚的人谈话。”在与沈从文先生的交谈中，我仿佛可以看到这样一个人：性情率真、喜欢字画、对湘西有着无限眷恋和热爱、身上不乏劳动人民勤劳的影子。看着沈从文先生，我很好奇：“在那如此黑暗的年代，湘西人民为何还能保持如此乐观的心态生活”沈从文先生深邃的眼睛似乎眨了眨，透出智者的光芒，他说：“因为他们身上有着劳动人民顽强的品格，有着属于中华儿女的那份坚韧不拔!”是啊，这些美好的品格多么难得，多么需要新时代人们学习传承!

5. Goethe once said, "Reading a good book is like conversing with a person of noble character." In my conversation with Mr. Shen Congwen, I seemed to see such a person: sincere in nature, fond of calligraphy and paintings, deeply attached and loving to the Xiangxi region, and carrying the spirit of diligence and industry of the working people. Gazing at Mr. Shen Congwen, I was curious: "In such a dark era, why could the people of Xiangxi maintain such an optimistic attitude towards life?" Mr. Shen Congwen's deep eyes seemed to blink, revealing the light of a wise person, as he said, "Because they possess the indomitable spirit of the working people, and that tenacity which belongs to the children of the Chinese nation!" Indeed, these fine qualities are so rare and so much needed to be learned and passed on by the people of the new era!

6. 庄子的妻子去世了，朋友惠子前去吊丧，刚刚推门进去，就看见庄子坐在院子里，兴高采烈地敲击瓦盆唱歌，惠子特别生气，指责庄子铁石心肠。

6. Zhuangzi's wife passed away, and his friend Hui Zi went to pay his respects. As he pushed open the door, he saw Zhuangzi sitting in the courtyard, joyfully striking a pot with a stick and singing. Hui Zi was extremely angry and accused Zhuangzi of having an iron and stone heart.

7. 面对学习和生活中的种种困难，我是否需要湘西人民的那份执着坚定和勇气考入海南中学，进入新的的学习旅程，起初我并不适应，遇到了许多困难：人际关系重新洗牌，新的老师，新的同学，新的环境，周围的同学都是百里挑一的佼佼者，这一切无形中给了我很大的压力。但是，我没有放弃，而是更加努力地学习。我相信，努力不会白费，花开的日子不会遥遥无期。终于，在期末考试时，我的成绩有了质的飞跃。

7. Faced with various difficulties in learning and life, do I need the perseverance, determination, and courage of the people of Western Hunan to enter Hainan High School and embark on a new learning journey? Initially, I was not adapted to it and encountered many difficulties: the reshuffling of interpersonal relationships, new teachers, new classmates, a new environment, and the surrounding classmates were all top-notch talents selected from a hundred. All of this unconsciously put a lot of pressure on me. However, I did not give up, but instead worked even harder. I believe that effort will not be in vain, and the day when flowers bloom will not be far off. Finally, during the final exam, my grades made a qualitative leap.

8. 再看看那些妓女们，在看《湘行散记》之前，我认为她们是不知羞耻，甚至认为她们的命是不值一提的，但现在，我的观点不同了，因为在沈从文笔中，她们的生命是非常顽强的，你认为她是为了钱财吗不，并不是，她们是为了让自己的亲骨肉可以衣食无忧的长大，才会放弃她们宝贵的贞操的，因为，她们是一位伟大的母亲啊!

8. Looking at those prostitutes, before reading "Xiangxing Sandi", I thought they were shameless, even that their lives were not worth mentioning. But now, my perspective has changed, because in Shen Congwen's writing, their lives are incredibly strong. Do you think it's for money? No, it's not. They give up their precious chastity so that their children can grow up without worrying about food and clothing. Because, they are great mothers!

9. 书中作者多次提到“吊脚楼”，我就想象着难道是把楼房吊起来在半空中随即百度，果不其然，结构美丽悦目，飞楼高阁悬在半山中，倒影重重映入碧水里，真是美丽湘江水中楼!怎能不让人感叹何况此一行，沈先生是归去故里，这一路的人和景无论如何也没有办法不被触动不生情愫!无论楼阁中是住着什么人，都必是有着纯洁灵魂的，散发着与自然溶为一体的特有味道的，那里的水手踏实质朴，勇敢耐劳，几十年行船，划过多少滩，走过多少潭。多情水手与吊脚楼中温暖的女人发生的故事也就自然而然了，正如沈先生的话“我在沉默中体会到一点‘人生’的苦味。我觉得他们的欲望同悲哀都十分神圣，我不配用钱或别的 方法 渗进他们的命运里去，扰乱他们生活上那一份应有的哀乐”。

9. The author of the book frequently mentions "hanging foot houses," and I imagined that perhaps it was a building that was hung in the air. Indeed, the structure is beautiful and pleasing to the eye, with flying pavilions suspended halfway up the mountain, their reflections layered in the emerald waters below. It truly is a beautiful water tower in the Xiang River! How could one not be moved by the beauty, especially on this journey? Mr. Shen is returning to his hometown, and the people and landscapes along the way are bound to touch one's heart and evoke sentiment. Regardless of who lives in the pavilions, they must all possess pure souls, emitting a unique scent of unity with nature. The honest, brave, and hardworking sailors there have spent decades sailing, navigating through countless rapids and crossing numerous ponds. The stories of the affectionate sailors and the warm women in the hanging foot houses are thus naturally formed, as Mr. Shen said, "In my silence, I have tasted a little of the bitterness of 'life.' I feel that their desires and sorrows are sacred, and I am not worthy of using money or other methods to interfere with their fates, disturbing the哀乐 of their lives."

10. 这篇散文集，让我读起来感觉笔触自由，文字鲜美，通过很多对景物的描写来抒发作者故地重来的感慨，也通过信札和回忆来叹息物是人非，仔细品读，彷佛也理解了作者的部分情感，那就是对生活和时间的感悟吧。“和另外环境背景中的熟人谈谈过去，和陌生朋友谈谈未来，当前的生活一与过去未来连接时，生命便若重新获得一种深刻而丰富的意义。”

10. This collection of prose makes me feel that the pen is free and the words are delicious. It expresses the author's sentiments of returning to the past through numerous descriptions of landscapes, and also sighs over the change of people and things through letters and memories. By careful reading, it seems that I also understand some of the author's emotions, which is perhaps a sense of life and time. "To talk about the past with acquaintances from another environment and background, and to talk about the future with unfamiliar friends, when the current life is connected with the past and the future, life seems to regain a profound and rich meaning."

11. 那一年是1934年，正是民国所谓的黄金时代，沈从文赶回湘西探母，一路上风山水照旧，但气氛和人却不一样了。那年沈从文揣着一本《史记》和支出的三个月的薪水27块钱，一路北上去北京求学时，沈从文印象中的家乡是美丽的，年轻人如猛虎般的活泼，乡民是自在、淳朴和从容的。而这次，面对凋零的美丽故乡，沈从文看到了人们的挣扎，人生的绝望：在那里，有蛮力的水手和拉船人为了微薄的一点点钱，做着卖命的事——天再冷，水再险，照样往水里跳，而即使这样，沈从文们却从没有抱怨，没有因为工钱少，就偷懒，照旧去担当应有的一份勇敢和努力;而吊脚楼上的那些女人，往往是为家计沦落成交际女，但她们依旧不失去那一份质朴和可爱，以及那一份对生活的纯真希望。沈从文的文字中，有悲悯，也有对人生庄严的赞叹。

11. That year was 1934, the so-called golden age of the Republic of China. Shen Congwen hurried back to Western Hunan to visit his mother, and along the way, the scenery and water were as they always were, but the atmosphere and people were different. That year, carrying a copy of "The Records of the Grand Historian" and three months' salary of 27 yuan, Shen Congwen went north to Beijing for further studies, and in his impression, his hometown was beautiful, the young people were lively and vigorous like tigers, and the villagers were free, sincere, and composed. However, this time, facing the withered beauty of his hometown, Shen Congwen saw people's struggles and the despair of life: there, strong-bodied sailors and boatmen did everything for a meager bit of money, risking their lives - no matter how cold the weather, how dangerous the water, they would still jump into the water. Even so, people like Shen Congwen never complained, never slacked off because of the low pay, and still took on their share of courage and effort. And the women on the bamboo-leg houses often fell into the plight of becoming交际 women for the sake of the family, but they still retained a simplicity and loveliness, as well as a pure hope for life. In Shen Congwen's writing, there is both compassion and admiration for the solemnity of life.

12. 随手翻开《湘行散记》，便被沈从文先生构建的亦真亦幻、淳朴美好的湘西世界吸引。这部散文集是作者两次重返湘西所得，是1934年作者回故乡时所作的游记。在上世纪三十年代黑暗的时光中，《湘行散记》依然能繁花尽开、向阳而生，令人惊叹。

12. Flipping through "Xiangxing Sandi," I was immediately drawn into the true yet fantastical, simple and beautiful world of western Hunan that Mr. Shen Congwen has constructed. This collection of essays was compiled from the author's two returns to western Hunan, and is a travelogue written when the author went back to his hometown in 1934. Amidst the dark times of the 1930s, "Xiangxing Sandi" still manages to bloom with flowers and thrive towards the sun, a truly astonishing sight.

13. 《湘行散记》这一本书，如一面明镜，揭露了当时社会水手，妓女等底层人民的低贱，甚至连自己的性命也一文不值，这一切似乎都在诉说那些人的悲哀，但当你看到最后，你一定可以明白沈从文的——他是在赞扬这些人的美好品质。那些水手每天的工资仅有1毛5，在世人眼中他们或许是卑微的，低贱的，但通过《湘行散记》，我却看到了他们的另一面。有些人，是重情重义的，例如水手牛保，他对着一个妓女，却生出了真实的情感，甚至离别时，也是依依不舍。

13. The book "Xiangxing Sandi" serves as a mirror, revealing the low status of the working-class people such as sailors and prostitutes during that time, and even their lives are deemed worthless. All of this seems to narrate the sorrow of these individuals. However, when you reach the end, you will undoubtedly understand Shen Congwen's perspective—he is actually praising the noble qualities of these people. These sailors earn only 15 cents a day, and in the eyes of the world, they might appear humble and despicable. But through "Xiangxing Sandi," I see another side of them. Some are deeply emotional and loyal, like the sailor Niu Bao. Despite being with a prostitute, he develops genuine emotions, and even when they part, it is with reluctance.

14. 杨慎非常伤感，一路上步履踉跄，流泪不止，经过湖北江陵的时候，看着眼前滚滚滔滔的长江流水，想起了这里的赤壁之战，以及相关的风云人物，现在都已经变成了尘土，化入历史的云烟，不复存在，于是获得了内心的释然，感慨不已，写下一首叫做《临江仙》的词：

14. Yang Shen was deeply saddened, his steps unsteady and tears flowing continuously along the way. When passing through Jiangling, Hubei, he looked at the surging and flowing Yangtze River in front of him and remembered the Battle of Red Cliffs and the related figures of the era. Now, they had all turned to dust, blending into the clouds of history and no longer existed. This brought him a sense of inner peace, and he felt deeply moved, writing a word called "Lingjiangxian":

15. 每次读时总有所感悟，却不知道是什么。联系现实中的生活，我想到了前段时间富士康的“跳楼事件”，以及和我同在一个园区的千千万万来自基层的群体，而这其中也应当包含一个我。

15. Every time I read it, I always feel a sense of enlightenment, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is. Connecting it to real-life situations, I thought of the recent "suicide jumping incident" at Foxconn, as well as the countless groups from the grassroots level who are in the same park as me, and this should also include myself.

16. 一个叫士成绮的人，千里迢迢拜访老子。当他看到老子的时候，特别失望。因为老子蓬头垢面，衣冠不整，跟他圣人的形象大不相同。

16. A man named Shi Chengqi traveled a long distance to visit Laozi. When he saw Laozi, he was particularly disappointed. Because Laozi was unshaven and disheveled, his attire was not in order, which was quite different from the image of a sage.

17. 文章的字里行间都是“花”，是盛开的向日葵，是永远保持的一种向上的姿态。文字中氤氲着烟火气、草木香和书卷气，令人初读时便心生愉悦。清新易懂的笔触中，透出沈从文先生热爱生活、热爱生命的一颗赤子之心;几笔传神的描写，便将湘西迷人的自然风光和独特的风土人情展现在每一位读者眼前。且看《桃源与沅州》中的这一段：“那种黛色无际的崖石，那种一丛丛幽香炫目的奇葩，那种小小回旋的溪流，合成一个如何不可言说迷人心目的圣境!”寥寥几笔，这桃源仙境的美丽便溢了出来。

17. The text is brimming with the word "flower," symbolizing blooming sunflowers, embodying an ever-uplifting posture. The words are imbued with the aroma of fireworks, the scent of plants and trees, and the scholarly atmosphere, evoking joy upon the first reading. The fresh and easy-to-understand style reveals Master Shen Congwen's ardent love for life and life itself. A few strokes of vivid description bring the charming natural scenery and unique local customs of Western Hunan to the eyes of every reader. Take this excerpt from "Taoyuan and Chenzhou" as an example: "That endless, ink-black cliff, those clusters of fragrant, dazzling flowers, those tiny, swirling streams, all combine to form an indescribably captivating sacred land!" With just a few strokes, the beauty of this Shangri-La paradise spills out.

18. 再一次拿起《湘行散记》，回首那些闪光的日子，一股澎湃的力量醍醐灌顶，贯注我的全身：面对困境，我没有任何的理由退缩和放弃，必须坚定目标，付出努力，唯有如此才能守望花开。在黑暗中，我们最需要的，便是那份执着坚定，以及信心和勇气。

18. Picking up "Xiangxing Sandi" once again, looking back at those shining days, a surge of energy surges through my body like a sacred drink: facing difficulties, I have no reason to retreat or give up. I must be firm in my goal, put in effort, and only in this way can I await the blooming of flowers. In the darkness, what we most need is that unwavering determination, as well as confidence and courage.

19. 沈从文一生坎坷，我对他印象最深的是他对自己的发妻的追求。那份校园爱情的淳朴，如果他追求的湘西干净纯粹相融相合。然而，这样无欲无求的人一生历经坎坷确是上天的不公。

19. Shen Congwen had a tumultuous life, and what impressed me most about him was his pursuit of his first wife. The simplicity of that campus love would have been perfectly blended with the clean and pure Xiangxi if he had pursued it. However, it is truly unfair of heaven that such a person with no desires or ambitions should have to go through so many hardships in life.

20. 明朝嘉靖年间，第一才子杨慎因为得罪了皇帝，被贬往云南省永昌卫，永不录用。

20. During the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty, the first scholar Yang Shen was demoted to Yongchang Garrison in Yunnan Province for offending the emperor and was never reemployed.

21. 沉浸在如镜般的湘江上，心中泛起点点涟漪……

21. Immersed in the mirror-like Xiangjiang River, my heart ripples with thoughts...

22. 死亡是一个必然会降临的节日，不管你愿意不愿意，舍得不舍得，害怕不害怕，最后都要接受死神的洗礼。与其战战兢兢，惴惴不安，不如以心安理得的态度，坦然地接受死亡这一事实。

22. Death is an inevitable festival that will eventually arrive, regardless of whether you are willing or unwilling, willing to let go or not, scared or not. In the end, you will have to submit to the baptism of the死神. It is better to accept the fact of death calmly and with peace of mind than to live in constant fear and uncertainty.

23. “山一程，水一程，身向榆关那畔行，夜深千帐灯”他孤身浸没在黑暗里，漂泊着、漂泊着，他不断的向前去，划出一圈圈涟渏，残余着对故土、对社会的绵绵思绪和侧畔轻呢。这零零散散的书信，白纸黑字，未能成片，短短的廿天里，到底是谱出的历史的自由亦或是人性的悲哀

23. "A mountain journey, a river journey, I journey to the side of Yu Pass, where the lamps in a thousand tents light up at midnight." He was alone, immersed in the darkness, drifting, drifting, constantly moving forward, drawing ripples, lingering with a continuous stream of thoughts and gentle sighs for his homeland and society. These scattered letters, with their white paper and black ink, failed to form a coherent piece. In the brief span of twenty days, were they composing the freedom of history or the sorrow of human nature?

24. 士成绮对老子说，我以为你是一个圣人，想不到你如此猥琐不堪，根本就配不上我的敬仰。

24. Shi Chengqi said to Laozi, "I thought you were a sage, but I didn't expect you to be so despicable and unworthy of my admiration."

25. 滚滚长江东逝水，浪花淘尽英雄，是非成败转头空，青山依旧在，几度夕阳红。白发渔樵江渚上，惯看秋月春风。一壶浊酒喜相逢，古今多少事，都付笑谈中。

25. The mighty Yangtze River flows eastward, its waves washing away heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure all turn to emptiness. The green mountains still stand, and the red sun sets over the land several times. The white-haired fisherman and woodcutter by the riverbank are accustomed to watching the autumn moon and the spring breeze. A cup of rough wine is delightful when met with an old friend. Throughout the ages, countless events are all just subjects of laughter and talk.

26. 你瞧，这并不是远离世俗，不染尘世，他对家的爱，对故乡的爱，对祖国的爱只不过些许含蓄，只不过做到了肆意笑谈，不去深究，只不过是大爱无言。

26. Look, it's not that he is far from the secular world, untainted by the dust of the world. His love for his home, his love for his hometown, and his love for his motherland is only somewhat reserved, only as he freely talks and laughs, not delving deep, only love that is silent and profound.

27. 无论身处何种险境，永远勇敢面对，无论身处何种黑暗，永远心怀希望!懂得珍惜当下的每一个日子、懂得感恩目前所拥有的一切，知足常乐，用爱拥抱世界，这难道不是我们现在也非常需要的一种精神吗生命无常，活着不易，人生百年，还有什么是不能看开的呢

27. No matter what perilous situation you find yourself in, always face it bravely; no matter what darkness you are in, always keep hope in your heart! To cherish every single day of the present, to be grateful for everything you have now, to be content and happy, to embrace the world with love— isn't this a spirit that we also greatly need at this moment? Life is fleeting, living is not easy, and with a hundred years of life, what is there that cannot be let go of?

28. 每次在紧张忙碌的车间，在匆匆忙忙地上下班途中，我总是看到每张年轻面孔后面单调、机械、无趣的工作，以及还并不可观的收入，再想远一点，是一个个极易敲碎的梦想。我吧，又或许多少比他们强一点，在这个异地他乡耕织自己的梦想。

28. In every busy workshop, during the hurried commutes to and from work, I always see the monotonous, mechanical, and uninteresting work behind each young face, along with not particularly impressive income, and looking further, a series of easily shattered dreams. As for me, perhaps I am a little stronger than them, tending to my own dreams in this foreign land.

29. 这短短的廿天里，作者行过了一条道路……虽说我们从摇篮到坟墓也不过是一条道路，但在途中一路上的风光都是极有趣的，值得我们去鉴赏、去思索，这一路上自然是有许多的苦难与艰辛的，但重要的是不要闭着眼，朦胧一生，那样你就始终看不到这世界了。

29. In these brief twenty days, the author has traversed a path... Although from the cradle to the grave we are all on a single path, the scenery along the way is incredibly interesting and worth appreciating and contemplating. Of course, there are many hardships and toils along this journey, but what is important is not to close our eyes and live a life in obscurity. Otherwise, you will never see this world.

30. 而这些水手，也有一个共同点——那就是勇敢无畏。这些水手，虽然地位卑微，但他们却作为水手的尊严看得比性命更为重要，就算是三九寒天，只要船卡住了，他们就会光膀子跳入河中拖船;就算是惊涛骇浪，只要船长一声令下，他们也会二话不说跳入冷彻人心的江中。而这儿，可正不是一种崇高的大无畏的精神吗

30. And these sailors share a common trait – that is, their courage and fearlessness. Despite their humble status, they regard the dignity of being a sailor as more important than their own lives. Even in the harsh cold of the Triple Nine winter, if the ship gets stuck, they would jump into the river without hesitation, stripping to their bare skin to pull the boat free; and even amidst towering waves, upon the captain's order, they would jump into the chilling river without a second thought. Isn't this a noble spirit of dauntless bravery?

31. 在我看来，如此一位被政治边缘化的人，他只是在用自己的方式表达自由，而这自由就是人们对美好生活以及未来期望的预兆，是一份纯真的希望，饱含着的，是一颗赤诚之心。

31. In my view, such a person who has been politically marginalized is merely expressing freedom in his own way, and this freedom is a harbinger of people's expectations for a better life and a brighter future. It is a sincere hope, brimming with a heartfelt passion.

32. 人生就是一场关于体验的旅程，要多给自己一些快乐，少给自己一些痛苦。最强大的心态，就是无所谓。当你什么都不在乎了，那么一切不友好的事物都影响不到你。你将会活得云淡风轻，洒脱自在，无拘无束，幸福快乐。

32. Life is a journey about experiences; give yourself more joy and less pain. The strongest mindset is to be indifferent. When you care about nothing, nothing unfriendly can affect you. You will live a carefree, unrestrained, and happy life.

33. 死亡没有来的时候，珍惜生命，好好生活，如果死亡降临，那就随遇而安，尽听天命。

33. When death has not yet come, cherish life and live well. If death descends, then accept whatever comes with ease and let fate decide.

34. 作者的变化是大的，大到可以对于同乡的经历“毫不出奇，毫不惊讶”。但他的变化又是小的，小到面对再大的变动也坚持“迷信”他那一双手，写“没有人再想看”的小说。所以他的内心一直就如那些水手一样，从年轻至年老，即使置身一叶扁舟，漫游东西，漂泊无定，风浪无时，浪打千击，掌舵时、泅水时、嬉笑怒骂时神气依旧，岁月的痕迹就如长蒿在碧水中轻轻荡起的涟漪，稍稍揉皱了水面，缓缓地又趋于平静。

34. The author's transformation is significant, so significant that it could be described as "nothing extraordinary, nothing surprising" when it comes to his hometown experiences. Yet, his transformation is also minute, so minute that he steadfastly clings to his "superstition" in believing in his own hands, writing novels that "no one wants to read." Therefore, his inner self has always been like those sailors, from youth to old age, even when adrift in a small boat, wandering east and west, aimless and drifting, amidst storms and waves, enduring countless blows, maintaining his composure while steering, swimming, laughing, and scolding. The marks of time are like the gentle ripples caused by a long pole stirring the clear water, slightly wrinkling the surface, and then gradually returning to calm.

35. 读《湘》你会发现，你情感会随着沈一样流淌，到最后俨然如那一派清波毫无渣滓。虽然沈展现在我们面前的是穷苦人们的悲惨命运和容易被“社会上层”漠视的生活哀乐，但他没有将自己陷于深深的痛苦，没去无边无际的同情，也没有给人消沉灰暗的情绪。一以贯之的是对河水、对拉船人同船、对那片流域温暖的爱。因为他知道，对这些人沉重的生活，我们这些读书人是不配说同情的，对这些人的命运他也无力去做什么。想到这些感想，我又不禁想到书中的'文字，写道：

35. Reading "Xiang" will make you feel that your emotions flow along with Shen, ultimately becoming as pure and clear as the waves, free of any杂质. Although Shen presents before us the悲惨fate of the poor and the sorrowful lives that are easily overlooked by the "social elite," he does not immerse himself in deep sorrow, nor does he indulge in boundless sympathy, nor does he impart a despondent and gloomy mood. What remains consistent is his warm love for the river, for the boatmen and their companions, and for the region. Because he knows that for the heavy lives of these people, we who read books are not worthy of expressing sympathy, and he is also powerless to do anything about their fates. Thinking about these thoughts, I can't help but recall the words in the book, which reads:

36. 漫漫湘行行者行，行者行，行千里，且回首，桃源依旧我本心。

36. Journeying through the vast Xiang River, the traveler walks, walks, for a thousand miles, and then looks back, the Peach Blossom Paradise remains true to my original heart.

37. 记得么他见到傩右的时候不忍惊动“他们那份安于现状的神气”，见到昔日同窗时为他们“精神上的营养不足”感到失望，于是他都很快地离开了，没有多看一眼，仅在我们脑海中留下一个淡淡的影，可是那些水手是他整个行程中一路相伴的，他们的形象是最最鲜活的，他们与自然融在一起，无拘无束地说着有些野蛮又朴实的话语，与风浪斗争，内心也如水一般清澈。他们一个个都是真真切切的。比如那个有着古罗马战士般身材、托尔斯泰似的白胡子的漂亮老水手，日常不过是弄船人眼中“一个又老又狡猾的东西罢了”。这里没有什么“不忍”说的话，也没有精神上的“不足”。是这些水手们的存在让此次湘西之行灵动鲜活了起来。

37. Remember when he saw Nuo You, he couldn't bear to disturb "their complacency towards the status quo." When he saw his former classmates, he was disappointed by their "insufficient spiritual nourishment," and so he quickly left, without casting another glance, leaving only a faint image in our minds. However, those sailors were with him throughout his entire journey, their images were the most vivid. They blended with nature, speaking freely and in a somewhat rough and simple manner, struggling against the winds and waves, their inner hearts as clear as water. Each of them was truly real. For example, that handsome old sailor with the ancient Roman warrior's physique and Tolstoy's white beard was, in the eyes of ordinary boatmen, "just an old and cunning thing." There's nothing "unwilling" to be said here, nor any spiritual "deficiency." It was the presence of these sailors that brought the journey to western Hunan to life, making it vibrant and full of vitality.

38. 这本书最妙的地方在于作者比较接地气，没有居高临下的感觉，作品流露的思想悲悯而不颓废，处处透露出对这方山水和淳朴生活的真正热爱。我惊讶于作者在这个年纪怎能如此通透，心里不禁对作者的人生经历也好奇起来。

38. The most wonderful thing about this book is that the author is quite down-to-earth, without any sense of superiority. The thoughts expressed in the work are compassionate but not despondent, and everywhere it reveals a true love for this piece of land and the simple way of life. I am amazed at how perceptive the author can be at this age, and I can't help but be curious about the author's life experiences.

39. 说实话，看这本书看得云里雾里的，正读其间仿佛还能看到作者所描绘的那片段场面，放下书脑袋里即刻空空一片，实在难以体会作者当时的心境和感情，顿时会觉得书读起来有些枯燥无味。直到后来“偶感怀人”部分，心里才有了些许与作者的共鸣，再径自往前翻看，也许能略懂作者万分之一。

39. To be honest, reading this book was like wandering in a fog. While reading, I could still see the scenes described by the author, but as soon as I put the book down, my mind was instantly blank, making it difficult to comprehend the author's state of mind and emotions at the time. I suddenly found the book to be somewhat dull and tasteless. It wasn't until the later part titled "Occasional Reminiscence" that I began to feel a sense of resonance with the author. By then, I might have understood a fraction of a percent of the author's thoughts.

40. “我小船停了，停到鸭窠围。中时候写信提到的“小阜平冈”应当名为“洞庭溪”。鸭窠围是个深潭，两山翠色迷人，恰如我写到翠翠的家乡。吊脚步楼尤其使人惊讶，高矗两岸，真是奇迹。两山深翠，惟吊脚楼屋瓦为白色，河中长潭则湾泊木筏廿来个，颜色浅黄。地方有小羊叫，有妇女锐声喊“二老”，“小牛子”，且听到远处有鞭炮声，与小锣声。到这样地方，使人太感动了。”

40. "My little boat stopped, stopping at Duck Nest Perimeter. The 'Small阜PingGang' mentioned in the letter during the middle period should be named 'Dongting Creek'. Duck Nest Perimeter is a deep pool, with the lush greenery of the two mountains being particularly charming, just like the hometown I wrote about for Cui Cui. The hanging foot tower is especially astonishing, towering on both banks, truly a miracle. The two mountains are deep green, but only the tiles of the hanging foot tower are white. In the river's long pool, there are about twenty rafts moored, with a light yellow color. There are little lambs bleating, and women shouting loudly for 'Elder Two' and 'Little Bull', and one can also hear the sound of firecrackers and small gongs from a distance. It is so touching to be in such a place."

41. 我原以为沈从文只是一介书生，后来才得知他小学 毕业 15岁就从过军，童年过早的见识了太多的杀戮，所以早早的就体会了生命的无常。早熟早慧的他不认命，19岁就独自北漂去了京城，从此在那里开启了自己另一番精彩人生。很多时候作品源于生活，一个有着丰富经历、生性坚韧而又淡然的人，其人生本就是一本精彩绝伦的书吧。

41. I originally thought of Shen Congwen as just an academic, but later learned that he had joined the military at the age of 15 after graduating from elementary school. His childhood was prematurely exposed to too much bloodshed, so he early on experienced the impermanence of life. Mature and intelligent, he did not accept his fate and went to Beijing on his own at the age of 19, where he embarked on another wonderful chapter of his life. Many of his works are inspired by life. A person with rich experiences, strong and unpretentious in nature, their life itself is like an extraordinary book.

42. 很早就听说过这本书，一直没下决心买，看到这样可爱美丽的新书，这一次，我动心也动手了。

42. I've heard about this book for a long time, but never made up my mind to buy it. Seeing such a cute and beautiful new book, this time, I was both moved and took action.

43. 举世誉之而不加劝，举世非之而不加沮。

43. The world praises him without urging, and the world criticizes him without discouraging him.

44. 李欧梵说过，《湘行散记》这部作品一半是纪实，另一半是小说。沈从文写《湘行散记》时，常常承认沈从文在写作过程中依靠的不是沈从文亲眼所看的事情，而是沈从文所想象的事情。这种个人体验式的 文章 ，开启了旅游文学的先声，而故乡，在每个游子的心底，永远是最纯净的乌托邦。沈从文将记忆中故乡的圣洁温暖，撒到字里行间，愿这浪漫的文字，能抚慰每个游子的乡愁。

44. Li Ruiwan once said, "Xiangxing Sanji" is a work that is half factual and half fictional. When Shen Congwen wrote "Xiangxing Sanji," he often admitted that what he relied on during the writing process was not the things he had seen with his own eyes, but the things he had imagined. This kind of personal experience-based writing opened the prelude of travel literature, and the hometown, in the hearts of every wanderer, is always the purest utopia. Shen Congwen sprinkled the sacred warmth of his memory of the hometown into the words, hoping that these romantic words could soothe the homesickness of every wanderer.

45. 有一种非常好的生命态度，叫做向死而生。

45. There is a very good life attitude called "Living towards Death."

46. 亘古的时间长河，多少生命轮回其中，沧桑岁月，不同的人物在相同的场景演绎着相似的生活。“青山依旧在，几度夕阳红”。我们或许无力改变些什么，却可以好好铭记他们同时深深 反思 自我。

46. In the endless river of time, countless lives have come and gone, through the vicissitudes of the ages, different individuals have performed similar lives in the same scenes. "The green mountains remain the same, the setting sun has changed many times." Perhaps we are unable to change anything, but we can remember them well and deeply reflect on ourselves.

47. 还有那座山上的小小学校，大家都相信那些在山上踢球的小伙伴们长大后会出落得与众不同。战火毁了它，所幸大家都跑了出来，各奔东西了。如今主人公回不去了，那其中各自在人生旅途上跑了十七年的伙伴们，再见到时他们是和他在任何一个地方都可见的无趣而庸俗的中年人无异，他们都回不去了。

47. There was also the small school on the mountain, where everyone believed that the little friends who played soccer on the mountain would grow up to be extraordinary. War destroyed it, fortunately, everyone had escaped and scattered to different places. Now, the protagonist cannot return, and those companions who have been running on their life journeys for seventeen years, when they meet again, they are no different from the boring and vulgar middle-aged men that can be seen anywhere; they can't return either.

48. 不管贫穷还是富贵，成功或者失败，万众瞩目抑或默默无闻，最后都要尘归尘，土归土，什么都留不下，什么都带不走。

48. Whether in poverty or wealth, success or failure, under the gaze of the masses or in obscurity, in the end, everything returns to dust and earth; nothing is left behind, and nothing can be taken away.

49. 也许主人公就是作者吧，也许又不是，但这都不重要，因为此番湘行留下的是无形的心迹，而非足迹。我读到上篇《边城》中翠翠的原型，她是绒线铺店主的女儿，傩送的原型则是作者当兵时的伙伴，傩右。十七年后作者回到了绒线铺，看见店里有一个长得和翠翠一模一样的女孩，那是他们的女儿，傩右也老得他几乎认不出。

49. Perhaps the protagonist is the author, perhaps not, but that doesn't matter, because what this journey through Xiang leaves behind is an intangible trace of the heart, not footprints. I read about the prototype of Zhenzhen in the first part of "The Border Town," who is the daughter of a woolen shop owner, and the prototype of Nuo Song is the author's comrade-in-arms from his military days, Nuo You. Seventeen years later, the author returned to the woolen shop and saw a girl who looked exactly like Zhenzhen working there; she was their daughter. Nuo You had aged so much that he could barely recognize him.

50. 初读《湘》你会发现，那里有清澈毫无渣滓的河水，有听过之后一生也忘不了的橹歌，有爱说野话却勇敢有力的水手。但远不止这些，从“老伴”到“滕回生堂的今昔”，你会了解，在那个战乱且无序的年代里，只在沈的视角范围里，就有那么多转徙漂泊，有那么多普通人在战乱里平静的死去，却不为亲人知晓，有那多妻离子别，等待然后平凡的老去，有那么多平凡的人在命运的夹缝里平凡的生，然后在十六年后某个平凡的日子里不期而遇，却不再相识。初读，以为是在读小说，仔细斟酌，才发现是沈人生经历里的一些真真切切的缩影，细细体味竟不禁使人潸然。

50. On your first read of "Xiang", you will find that there is clear and pure river water without any sediment, there are boat songs that you will never forget after hearing them, and there are sailors who love to speak in rustic language but are brave and strong. But there is more than that. From "Laowan" to "The Past and Present of Teng Hui Sheng Tang," you will understand that in that era of war and disorder, within the perspective of Shen alone, there were so many people who wandered and漂泊, so many ordinary people who quietly died in the war without their families knowing, so many couples who were separated from their families, waiting and then growing old in a mundane way, and so many ordinary people who lived in the cracks of fate in a mundane manner, only to meet unexpectedly on an ordinary day sixteen years later, but no longer recognize each other. On the first read, it seemed like reading a novel, but upon careful consideration, you realize that it is a series of true and genuine reflections of Shen's life experiences, which, when deeply reflected upon, cannot help but bring tears to one's eyes.
