To any one of us

For years and years they grow, without paying any attention to us, in meadows, in forests, and by the side of rivers — all things one likes to think about.

它们长在草地上、森林里、小河边——这些全是我们喜欢去想的事物——它们长着、长着，长了许多年，一点也没有注意到我们。

Any one of us can take the train (or even fly) directly to Orlando, at any time, decoupling the dependency to the rest of the family.

任何时候，我们中的任何人都可以坐火车(甚至坐飞机)直接到奥兰多，摆脱对家庭其他人的依赖性。

My veneration for Count Tolstoy is profound, yet I mention him here to show the grave danger that lies in allowing any man, even one of the wisest of men, to dictate to us what is best.

我崇敬托尔斯泰伯爵是因为他的博学，然而，我在这里提及他是要说明：允许任何人哪怕是最聪明的人，仗势把所谓最好的东西强加给我们，也都隐含着严重的危险。
