1FindtheChineseversionofTao’spoem,andtranslateThoreau’squoteintoChinese.归园田居（其一）陶渊明少无适俗韵，性本爱丘山。误落尘网中，一去十三年。羁鸟恋旧林，池鱼思故渊。开荒南野际，守拙归园田。方宅十余亩，草屋八九间。榆柳荫后檐，桃李罗堂前。暧暧远人村，依依墟里烟。狗吠深巷中，鸡鸣桑树颠。户庭无尘杂，虚室有余闲。久在樊笼里，复得返自然。

Activity4好好度过每一个季节，呼吸新鲜的空气， 畅饮美酒，品尝水果，尽情享受这一切。让生活中只有饮食和草药。

expressinghisunhappinessinthenowfamouslimethat

hewouldnot“bowlikeaservantinretumforfivedouofgrain".为了重归自然，两人的生活都发生了戏剧性的转变。陶渊明是东晋的官员，但是对官场生活感到困惑。公元405年，陶渊明辞去了官职，以表达他对仕途的不满，用今天的一句名言形容就是“不为五斗米折腰”。2Hespentthenext22yearsuntilhisdeath,

wecanlearnthatalthoughhislifewasarduous,he

succededinfindingcontentmentinitssimplicityandin

drawingpleasurefromnature.在之后的22年里，直到生命的尽头，他躬耕于田野，生活在清贫的农村。我们可以从他的诗歌中看出，尽管生活艰苦，但他从这种简单的生活中成功获得了满足感，并从大自然中获得了乐趣。3WhileTao'sreturntonaturewasareaction

onhimselfandhiswriting.陶渊明回归大自然是对自己反对的生活方式做出的一种反应，而梭罗则是出于个人的决定而改变自己的生活方式。虽然梭罗过着体面的生活，但他希望活得更简单些。两年两个月零两天，他住在瓦尔登湖边森林里的一间小屋里，专注于自身和写作。3Heexplainedhis

reasonfordoingsoinWalden:“Iwenttothe

woodsbecauseIwishedtolivedeliberately,tofrontonlytheessentialfactsoflife."Bothmen

werehappytowithdrawfromcontemporary

life,seckingaharmoniousrelationshipwith

natureinthequietnessoftheirlives.他在《瓦尔登湖》中解释了这样做的原因:“我步入丛林，是因为我希望自由地生活，只面对生活中的基本事实。”两个人都乐于从当下的生活中抽身而退，在平静的生活中寻求与自然和谐的关系。4.AlthoughTaoandThoreaudonottreatnature

梭罗在描述自然时，重点描绘了他周围原野的美丽与纯粹。他全身心投入到观察自然现象中，并在日记中详细地记录了自己的发现。梭罗的写作意在使人们信服,动物和植物就像我们人类一样都有生存和繁荣的权利。我们应该与它们和谐共处，享受大自然的恩赐，正如他在日记中描述的那样:Liveineachseasonasitpasses;bre
