卢梭的 《Reveries of the Solitary Walker》，是一个哲学散（文）笔。知道这点后，文中的相关词用就不能按一般通俗的认知去读解，因为哲学语言的多重性和喻比性的宽阔和深广。其中的Solitary不应该是孤独的意思，因为相应于他在文里不断提到的“solitude”（独居或静处），不是一种被迫和无奈的举措，而是在精神自由的情况下，对生命生存和生命思考的一种喻比性很强的“选择”。选择的是精神之于生命之上的生命状态。所以，我以为“独志的孤行者梦”，的译法可能更加贴近作者的原意。当然，此地仅是一家之见而已了。

为了方便有兴趣的朋友共同参与解释和理解，我借用两段英文“原话”，作为辅陈：

×××××××

The way my senses thus work upon my heart constitutes the sole torment of my life. The days I see no one I no longer think about my fate, I no longer feel it, I no longer suffer; I am happy and satisfied without distraction, without obstacle. But I can rarely escape any perceptible slight; and when I am least thinking about it, a gesture,12 a sinister look I perceive, a venomous word I hear, an ill-disposed person I meet, is enough to overwhelm me. All I am capable of in such a case is very quickly forgetting and fleeing. The disturbance in my heart disappears with the object which has caused it, and I return to calm as soon as I am alone.

上下文里我为一些哲性的关键词加粗了，方便有兴趣的人，从此类文字中看见重要的某些词用和文式的特征。谢谢！（今又是）

Alas! What am I saying, my reason! I would be very wrong to honor it with this triumph, for it hardly plays a role in any of this. Everything comes out the same when a changeable temperament is irritated by an impetuous wind, but becomes calm again the instant the wind stops blowing. My ardent natural temperament irritates me; my indolent natural temperament pacifies me. I yield to all present impulses; every conflict sets off an intense and short motion in me. As soon as the conflict subsides, the motion ceases. Nothing imparted from outside can prolong itself in me.
