Thoreau looked around him and saw the beginnings of industrialism and found it ugly. He disliked the factories and he disliked what they produced. He objected to consumerism, suspectingthat it took people away from their real concerns. Men and women lived lives of “quiet desperation” because modern life was leading them astray.
梭罗环视周遭,目睹了工业主义的开端并发现了其丑恶之处。他并不喜欢工厂,也不喜欢它们生产的东西。他拒绝消费主义,怀疑它会将人们带离他们真正关心的事情。男男女女都生活在“寂静的"绝望”之中,因为现代生活将他们引入歧途。
