Sun--thought, air---language/writing

Let us examine the facts in the case more closely. First of all,
language is no more than a medium; it is like air to the creatures of
the land or water to fishes. If it is perfectly clear and pure, we do
not notice it any more than we notice pure air when the sun is shining
in a clear sky, or the taste of pure cool water when we drink a glass
on a hot day. Unless the sun is shining, there is no brightness;
unless the water is cool, there is no refreshment. The source of all
our joy in the landscape, of the luxuriance of fertile nature,
is the sun and not the air. Nature would be more prodigal in Mexico than
in Greenland, even if the air in Mexico were as full of soot and smoke as
the air of Pitt*****urg{h}, or loaded with the acid from a chemical factory.
So it is with language. Language is merely a medium for thoughts,
emotions, the intelligence of a finely wrought brain, and a good
mind will make far more out of a bad medium than a poor mind will
make out of the best. A great violinist will draw such music from
the cheapest violin that the world is astonished. However is that any
reason why the great violinist should choose to play on a poor violin;
or should one say nothing of the smoke nuisance in Chicago because
more light and heat penetrate its murky atmosphere than are to be found
in cities only a few miles farther north? The truth is, we must regard
the bad spelling nuisance, the bad grammar nuisance, the in醨tistic and
rambling language nuisance,. Some dainty
people prefer pure air and correct language; but we now recognize that
purity is something more than an esthetic fad, that it is essential to our
health and well-being, and therefore it becomes a matter of universal
public interest, in language as well as in air.
讓我們來看看事實的情況下更加密切。首先，
語言是不超過一個medium媒體;就像空氣的產物
的土地或水的魚。如果是非常清楚和純潔，我們不
沒有發覺任何比我們更純淨空氣的通知時，陽光
在一個清潔的天空，或口味的純冷水，當我們喝一杯
在一個炎熱天氣。除非陽光，沒有亮度;
除非水冷卻，但沒有茶點。所有的來源
我們的喜悅中的景觀，在繁茂的肥沃的土壤性質，
就是太陽，而不是空氣。自然會更浪子在墨西哥比
在格陵蘭，即使空氣中的墨西哥充分的煙塵和煙霧的
空氣匹茲堡（ h ） ，或載有酸的一家化工廠。
因此，與語言。語言只是一種媒介，思想，
情感，智力的一套精心鍛造的大腦，和一個良好的
考慮到將更為了一個壞中期比窮人將銘記
作出了最好的。偉大的小提琴家將得出這樣的音樂
最便宜的小提琴，世界驚訝。然而，任何
為什麼要選擇偉大的小提琴上發揮不佳的小提琴;
或應一個更不用說煙霧滋擾在芝加哥，因為
更多的光熱穿透其陰暗的氣氛相比，要找到
城市中只有幾英里遠北？事實是，我們必須考慮
拼寫滋擾壞，壞的語法滋擾，在卡拉的tistic和
雜亂的語言滋擾，有些講究
人們更喜歡純粹的空氣和正確的語言，但是我們現在認識到，
純度是一個多審美時尚，這是我們必須
健康和福祉，因此，它成為一個普遍的問題
While language as the medium of thought may be compared to air as
the medium of the sun's influence, in other respects it is like the
skin of the body; a scurvy skin shows bad blood within, and a scurvy
language shows inaccurate thought and a confused mind. And as a
disease once fixed on the skin reacts and poisons the blood in
turn as it has first been poisoned by the blood, so careless use of
language if indulged reacts on the mind to make it permanently and
increasingly careless, illogical, and inaccurate in its thinking.
