Of studiesFrancis BaconStudies serve for delight, for ornament（引申意为多读书可旁征博引，显得有才学）, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring（幽居独处）; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment and disposition of business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars（对个别问题作出评价或判断）, one by one; but the general counsels（总的计划；大计商定）, and the plots, and marshalling of affairs（对事务的计划与安排）, come best from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies, is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules is the humour（古意，此处怪癖）of a scholar. They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning（修剪枝叶）by study: and studies themselves do give forth direction too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men（有实际才干的人）condemn studies; simple men admire them; and wise men use then: for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation. Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them by others: but that would be, only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of book: else distilled books（指别人摘录或重述的书）are like common distilled waters, flashy things. Reading maketh a full men（使人充实）; conference a ready man（使人机敏）; and writing（写笔记或作札记）an exact man. And therefore, if a man write little, he had need have a great memory; if he confer little, he had need have a present wit; and if he read little, he had need have much cunning, to seem to know that he doth not. Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtle（精确细致）; natural philosophy（古语：自然科学）deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend. Abeunt studia in mores（拉丁语：专心学问者，性格也受陶冶）. Nay, there is no stond（古语：阻碍）or impediment in the wit（心智）, but may be wrought out（古语：得到解决）by fit studies: like as diseases of the body may nave appropriate exercises. Bowling is good for the stone and reins（睾丸与肾脏）; shooting for the lungs and breast; gentle walking for the stomach; riding for the head; and the like. So if a man’s wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics; for in demonstrations, if his wit be called away never so little, he must begin again. If his wit be not apt to distinguish or find differences, let his study the schoolmen（欧洲中世纪经院哲学家）; for they are cymini sectores（拉丁语：钻牛角尖的人，过分讲究细节的人）. If he be not apt to beat over matters详细审查事务）, and to call up one thing, to prove and illustrate another, let him study the lawyers’ case: so every defect of the mind may have a special receipt（药方）.BooksJohn RuskinThe good book of the hour（风行一时的书，没有永久价值的书）, then, -- I do not speak of the bad ones—is simply the useful or pleasant talk of some person whom you cannot otherwise converse with, printed for you. Very useful often, telling you what you need to know; very pleasant often, as a sensible friend’s present talk would be. These bright accounts of travels; good-humoured and witty discussions of question; lively or pathetic story—telling in the from of novel; firm fact-telling（可靠的报导）, by the real agents（当事人）concerned in the events of passing history; -- all these books of the hour, multiplying among us as education becomes more general, are a peculiar characteristic and possession of the present age: we ought to be entirely thankful for them, and entirely ashamed of ourselves if we make no good use of them. But we make the worst possible use, if we allow them to usurp the place of true books: for, strictly speaking, they are not books at all, but merely letters or newspapers in good print. Our friend’s letter may be delightful, or necessary, to-day: whether worth keeping or not, is to be considered. The newspaper may be entirely proper at breakfast time, but assuredly it is not reading for all day. So, though bound up in a volume, the long letter which gives you so pleasant an account of the inns, and roads, and weather last year at such a place, or which tells you that amusing story, or gives you the real circumstances of such and such events, however valuable for occasional reference, may not be, in the real sense of the word, a “book” at all, nor, in the real sense, to be “read”. A book is essentially not a talked thing, but a written thing; and written, not with the view of mere communication, but of permanence. The book of the talk is printed only because its author cannot speak to thousands of people at once; if he could, he would—the volume is mere multiplication of his voice. You cannot talk to your friend in India; if you could, you would; you write instead: that is mere conveyance of voice. But a book is written, not to multiply the voice merely, not to carry it merely, but to preserve it. The author has something to say which he perceives to be true and useful, or helpfully beautiful. So far as he knows, no one has yet said it; so far as he knows, no one else can say it. He is bound to say it, clearly and melodiously if he may; clearly, at all events. In the sum of his life he finds this to be the thing, or group of thins, manifest to him;-- this the piece of true knowledge, or sight, which his share of sunshine and earth has permitted him to seize. He would fain （古语：欣然地，乐意地）set it down for ever; engrave it on rock, if he could; saying, “This is the best of me; for the rest, I ate, and drank, and slept, loved, and hated, like another; my life was as the vapour, and is not; but this I saw and knew; this, if anything of mine, is worth your memory,”That is his “writing”; it is, in his small human way, and with whatever degree of true inspiration is in him, his inscription, or scripture, That is a “Book”.How Should One Read a BookV.WoolfIt is simple enough to say that since books have classes—fiction, biography, poetry—we should separate them and take from each what it is right that each should give us. Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconceptions when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Be his fellow-worker and accomplice. If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read. but if you open your mind as widely as possible, then signs and hints of almost imperceptible fineness, from the twist and turn of the first sentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other. Steep yourself in this, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that your author is giving you, or attempting to give you, something far more definite. The thirty-two chapters of a novel—if we consider how to read a novel first—are an attempt to make something as formed and controlled as a building: but words are more impalpable than bricks; reading is a longer and more complicated process than seeing. Perhaps the quickset way to understand the elements of what a novelist is doing is not to read, but to write; to make your own experiment with the dangers and difficulties of words. Recall, then, some event that has left a distinct impression on you—how at the corner of the street, perhaps, you passed two people talking. A tree shook; and electric light danced; tone of the talk was comic, but also tragic; a whole vision, an entire conception, seemed contained in that moment.But when you attempt to reconstruct it in words, you will find that it breaks into a thousand conflicting impressions. Some must be subdued; others emphasized; in the process you will lose, probably, all grasp upon the emotion itself. Them turn from your blurred and littered pages to the opening pages of some great novelist—Defoe, Jane Austen, Hardy. Now you will be better able to appreciate their mastery. It is not merely that we are in the presence of a different person—Defoe, Jane Austen, or Thomas Hardy—but that we are living in a different world. Here, in Robinson Crusoe, we are trudging a plain high road; one thing happens after another; the fact and the order of the fact is enough. But if the open air and adventure mean everything to Defoe they mean nothing to Jane Austen. Here is the drawing-room, and people talking, and by the many mirrors of their talk revealing their characters. And if, when we have accustomed ourselves to the drawing-room and its reflections, we turn to Hardy, we are once more spun around. The moors are round us and the stars are above our heads. The other side of the mind is now exposed—the dark side that comes uppermost in solitude, not the light side that shows in company. Our relations are not towards people, but towards Nature and destiny. Yet different as these worlds are, each is consistent with itself. The maker of each is careful to observe the laws of his own perspective and however great a strain they may put upon us they will never confuse us, as lesser writers so frequently do, by introducing two different kinds ofreality into the same book. Thus to go from one great novelist to another—from Jane Austen to Hardy, from Peacock to Trollope, from Scott to Meredith—is to be wrenched and uprooted; to be thrown this way and then that. To read a novel is a difficult and complex art. You must be capable not only of great finesse(策略，技巧) of perception, but of great boldness of imagination if you are going to make use of all that the novelist—the great artist—gives you.。

Of Studies 中英文版本

Of Studiesfrom Essays by Francis BaconSir Francis Bacon (1561-1626) was a philosopher and a statesman as well as a man of letters -–a renaissance man of his time. He wrote important literary and philosophical works and was a major contributor to modern scientific thought. His Essays (published sporadically between 1597 and 1625) incorporate elements of all three disciplines and are considered his chief contribution to literature. What is given below is one such essay and the Chinese version that follows it is considered one of the best so far that can do justice to the original.Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, isin discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment and disposition of business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshaling of affairs, come best from those that are learned. To spend too much timein studies, is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, isaffectation;to make judgment only by their rules is the humor of a scholar.

To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use themtoo much for ornament, isaffectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humour of a scholar.读书费时过多易惰，文采藻饰太盛则矫，全凭条文断事乃学究故态。

Of Studies 中英文版本

Of Studiesfrom Essays by Francis BaconSir Francis Bacon (1561-1626) was a philosopher and a statesman as well as a man of letters -–a renaissance man of his time. He wrote important literary and philosophical works and was a major contributor to modern scientific thought. His Essays (published sporadically between 1597 and 1625) incorporate elements of all three disciplines and are considered his chief contribution to literature. What is given below is one such essay and the Chinese version that follows it is considered one of the best so far that can do justice to the original.Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment and disposition of business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshaling of affairs, come best from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies, is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is affectation;to make judgment only by their rules is the humor of a scholar. They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants,that need pruning by study; and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be1 bounded in by experience. Crafty men contemn studies; simple men admire them;and wise men use them: for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation.Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them by others; but that would be, only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of book: else distilled books are like common distilled waters, flashy things.读书足以怡情，足以博彩，足以长才。
