It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flowers, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.

　　The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don't dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a_steel_river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.

　　I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.

　　语篇解读：本文主要介绍了现代人对汽车的依赖，分析了步行的种种好处。号召大家回到步行这种好的方式上来。
