1952年,在美国一个普通的农庄里,一只叫夏洛的蜘蛛恋恋不舍地离开了这个美丽而又快乐的世界。她轻轻地对威伯(猪)说:“再见!”便从容而又满足地告别了农庄、朋友、子女和尘世。那声再见犹如惊雷滚过大地,使我们人类所有美好的东西都黯然失色,相形见绌。梭罗说:“人是大自然的居民。”是的,在这么一只微不足道的蜘蛛面前,我们的尊严和高贵一败涂地,是没有理由和资格妄称主人的。 In 1952, in a common farm in the United States, a spider called Charlotte reluctantly left this beautiful and happy world. She gently said to Wilbur: “Goodbye!” Calmly and satisfactorily bid farewell to the farm, friends, children and the earth. That goodbye is like thunder rolling over the earth, eclipsed by all the good things of our humanity. Thoreau said: “Man is a natural inhabitant.” Yes, in the face of such a trivial spider, our dignity and elegance are overwhelmed with no justification and qualification to claim masters.
