【14 On Idleness 論懶惰】
------------------------------------------
There are some that profess Idleness in its full dignity, who call themselves the Idle, who boast that they do nothing, and thank their stars that they have nothing to do; who sleep every night till they can sleep no longer, and rise only that exercise may enable them to sleep again; who prolong the reign of darkness by double curtains, and never see the sun but to tell him how they hate his beams; whose whole labor is to vary the postures of indulgence, and whose day differs from their night but as a couch or chair differs from a bed.
有一些人聲稱懶惰也有它充分的尊嚴,這些人叫自己懶人,他們吹噓自己什麼都不做,也感謝上帝他們什麼都不用做;他們每天都睡到自然醒,然後做一些運動,隻有那樣他們才能再次入睡;他們用兩層窗簾延長黑暗的時間,從來不見太陽卻告訴太陽他們討厭它的光;他們所做的一切就是變換一下沉昏的姿態,對於他們來說,白天與黑夜的區別隻不過相當於從沙發或椅子上挪到床上。
These are the true and open votaries of Idleness, for whom she weaves the garlands of poppies, and into whose cup she pours the waters of oblivion; who exist in a state of unruffled stupidity, forgetting and forgotten; who have long ceased to live, and at whole death the survivors can only say, that they have ceased to breathe.
這些人是懶散女神真正公開的崇拜者,女神為他們佩戴罌粟花環,在他們的杯子裡傾倒忘卻之水;他們渾渾噩噩地活著,度日如年,忘卻了他人也被他人所遺忘;他們早就停止了生活,他們死去時,活著的人也隻會說他們不再呼吸。

But idleness predominates in many lives where it is not suspected; for being a vice which terminates in itself, it may be enjoyed without injury to others; and
懶散主宰了許多人的生活,而不為人所知;作為一種惡習,在不傷害他人的情況下被享受著;因而人們對懶散不像對危及他人財產的詐騙和自然而然地在從他人的自卑中尋
