本文摘选自Henry David Thoreau的作品《AWinterWalk》，文中描述了冬天的独特魅力，将其比作一位热血青年而非老者。作者认为冬天能激发人们的内在活力，尽管外界寒冷，但人们的心灵却温暖而欢快，如同被雪覆盖的小屋，烟囱中升起缕缕炊烟。即便被困家中，也能享受壁炉旁的宁静时光，或通过聆听窗外的声音来感受生活的脉搏。

A Winter Walk

Henry David Thoreau

Though winter is represented in the almanac as an old man, facing the wind and sleet, and drawing his cloak about him, we rather think of him as a merry woodchopper, and warm-blooded youth, as blithe as summer.

The unexplored grandeur of the storm keeps up the spirits of the traveler. It does not trifle with us, but has a sweet earnestness. In winter we lead a more inward life.

Our hearts are warm and cheery, like cottages under drifts, whose windows and doors are half concealed, but from whose chimneys the smoke cheerfully ascends.

The imprisoning drifts increase the sense of comfort which the house affords, and in the coldest days we are content to sit over the hearth and see the sky through the chimney-top, enjoying the quiet and serene life that may be had in a warm corner by the chimney-side, or feeling our pulse by listening to the low of cattle in the street, or the sound of the flail in distant barns all the long afternoon.

No doubt a skillful physician could determine our health by observing how these simple and natural sounds affected us.

We enjoy now, not an Oriental, but a Boreal leisure, around warm stoves and fireplaces, and watch the shadow of motes in the sunbeams.
