第二封信一八四八年三月二十七日星期一,写于马州康科德一八四八年三月二十七日于康科德我很高兴我说的话能传到你那里,虽然说这些话都是很久以前讲过的,我几乎记不得是谁说的了。这使我感到高兴,因为我借此有理由设想,我说的话是与人相关的,人与人的交流并非徒劳无益,这就是文字的价值所在。然而,从任何意义上来说,那些日子都是遥远的过去,我不得不重新翻开那一页,才能记起我当时的思想状态。然而,如果这篇文章是你给我写信的唯一理由,那我应该珍视这篇文章才是。 Second Letter, Monday, March 27, 1848, Concord, State of Mary, March 27, 1868, Concord, I am glad that what I say will reach you There, though, these words were spoken long ago, I hardly remember who said it. This makes me happy because I take this reason to imagine that what I am saying is human-related, and it is not futile for people to communicate. This is the value of writing. However, in any sense, those days were far off and I had to reopen that page before I could remember my current state of mind. However, if this article is the only one you wrote to me, then I should value this article.
