培根论读书赏析T o B e a Full Man from ReadingWe all know that study can cultivate a man and even make a full man. A full manshould have a positive view of world, life and value, which is usually based on a balanced knowledge system. And how can we obtain this necessary knowledge Of Studies is theanswer to this question. In Bacon's essay Of Studies, reading piirposes and functions are discussed in detail. Bacon also analyzes the different attitudes to reading and introducesvarious methods of reading. Above all. Bacon tells us how to be a full man from reading.In the very beginning, Bacon points out that reading can serve for delight, for ornament.and for ability. We can see that reading has three functions. It delights you; it beautifies you; and it strengthens your ability. The author also says that their chief use for delight is in private life and retiring. That is to say, when you stay aione, book is your best com panionwhich eases loneliness and brings happiness. If you are really absorbed in the book, you maynot feel lonely. *Tor ornament, is in discourse』When communicating or negotiating withothers, knowledge learned from books can make you decent and educated. In other words.reading beautifies you in that occasion. "And for ability, is in the judgment and disposition/* Faced with affairs, an expert man can judge of particulars one by one. But to general people.he should act decisively. It means he can hold the whole situation and think out a plan.Where does this kind of ability come fromReading. If you read all kinds of books, you are able to taste what might not happen toyou in real life, and then ask yourself what you would do in that situation. Reading helps you make fewer mistakes. For that, you can learn mistake exam pies from books so that you maymake no mistakes when you are in the same situation.According to the essay, reading perfects peopk's nature. Tlie gold have no foot red, the person has no perfect person. Defects can be made up and reading is a superexceHentmethods. Natural abilities are like natural plants that need pruning by study, Reading ten thousand books is like traveling ten thousand miles. You can accumulate knowledge little bylittle and one day you may find yourself wiser than others. This wisdom is not born with youbut acquired after years' effort."Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested?*That is to say, we should choose some book to read, but not read all the books.Some useful books should be read carefully and taken notes. Different books have different functions; the essay is telling us reading different books can bring different knowledge which we lack. And different books have different methods to read. There are countless numbers of books in the bookstores or libraries. You do not have that energy to read all the books. As a wise man, you definitely chooseto select some of them to read, which is of great benefit to you. Basically, these books can give you true knowledge, perfect your personality and help you form right view of life and world. And then you have taken a big step on the way to be a full man.Francis Bacon's Of Studies sa ys “histories make men wise, p oets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; inoral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend?* That is to say, we read all kinds of books that contribute to perfect our knowledge structure and form critical thinking. So we should read books of various fields to make us be a full man. That also can learn more about our world in all aspects. Reading can make a full man. That is to say, we should read more books which are useful for us. Reading can enlarge our knowledge in different fields.What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done: there is nothing new under the sun. Sometimes the real world is same as the ancient time and the situation we are in isquite like what our forebears suffered. Reading histories makes people learn lessons from the ancient time, avoid making the same mistakes and predict the development of things, People who read histories will be wiser than these who just act according to their own preferences without learning from histories.Reading poems makes people learn the beauty of language, the beautiful classical style of art and live a poetic life. People who read poems will be wittier than these who hadn't feel the beautiful mood and pure life. The modern society is too busy and reading poems can slow down the pace of life and makes people not so impetuous, Putting yourself into poetic conditions, you may lead a different and easy life.Reading mathematics makes people focus on the accurate calculation, develop a scientific attitude, and form a pragmatic spirit. And mathematics makes people attentive and think more and logically when encountering different things no matter it is big or small.People who read mathematics will be more subtle to consider things from all aspects and do things from the drop carefully than these who don't read.Reading natural philosophy makes people pursue truth, explore the unknown mystery.and practice actively. Peopie who read natural philosophy will be deeper than these who don't leani the theoiy of reflecting the truth.Reading moral makes people learn the way of harmony living, form the principle of ethical behaviors and develop correct outlooks on values. In other words, people who read moral know how tolive in the society and how to build relationships with people surrounding them. People who read moral will be graver than these who behave without correct principles aiid can't deal with different relationships.Reading logic makes people master the rules of thinking, dealing with different things and exploring objective reality. People who read logic will be more contend to have clear ideas, mater the principles of objective truth than these who don't act according to niles.Different kinds of reading materials play different roles in making a full man. People should get into different reading fields and train themselves to become a comprehensive talent. Reading will do good to one's physical health according to some reading materials of physical training. What's more important, reading promotes the development of logic thinking and morality. People can be called a full man on condition that they have fine quality, delicate self-cultivation and strict morality. Try to read extensively and become a full man.All in ait reading books of certain field brings certain knowledge and ability we lack.Of StiuUes gives us the method of reading books and being a full man.。

对比Of Studies的四种译文。

哪种译文在风格上与原文更“切近”?你最喜欢哪一种?为什么?OF STUDIESFrancis BaconStudies 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 judgement, 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 marshalling 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 judgement wholly by their rules, is the humour 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 be bounded in by experience. Crafty men condemn 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. Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing 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; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend. Abeunt studia in mores. Nay, there is no stand or impediment in the wit, but may be wrought out by fit studies: like as diseases of the body may have appropriate exercises. Bowling is good for the stone and reins; 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 him study the schoolmen; for they are cymini sectores. If he be not apt to beat over matters, and to call up one thing, to prove and illustrate another, let him study the lawyers’ cases; so every d efect of the mind may have a special receipt.谈读书(译文1)读书可以怡情养性,可以摭拾文采,可以增长才干。

They dispose kings to tyranny, husbands to jealousy, wise men to irresolution and melancholy. They are defects, not in the heart, but in the brain; for they take place in the stoutest natures: as in the example of Henry the Seventh of England: there was not a more suspicious man, nor a more stout.心思中的猜疑有如鸟中的蝙蝠,他们永远是在黄昏里飞的。

of study培根英文原文读后感

of study培根英文原文读后感

of study培根英文原文读后感Of Studies is an essay by Sir Francis Bacon, a renowned English philosopher, statesman, and scientist who lived during the Renaissance period. In this piece, Bacon explores the benefits and virtues of studying, emphasizing the importance of education and knowledge in improving one's intellectual capabilities and understanding of the world.Bacon begins by asserting that “studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability”. He argues that studying not only provides pleasure and enhances one’s personal appearance, but also develops one’s skills and abilities. He believes that learning enriches the mind and allows individuals to excel in various fields. Bacon further suggests that the study enhances the individual's character and moral virtue.Bacon also highlights the different types of study that individuals can engage in, including reading, writing, and conversation. He emphasizes the importance of reading as a way to gain knowledge and broaden one’s perspective on different subjects. Moreover, he believes that writing allows individuals to express their thoughts clearly and effectively, while conversation enables them to engage with others and exchange ideas.One of the key points Bacon makes in this essay is the idea of balance in studying. He warns against excessive study, which can lead to exhaustion and loss of focus. He advises individuals to choose their fields of study wisely and not to waste their time on trivial or irrelevant subjects. Bacon stresses the importance of prioritizing one's studies and focusing on areas that are beneficial and meaningful.Overall, Bacon’s essay Of Studies serves as a powerful reminder of the value of learning and education in our lives. It encourages individuals to pursue knowledge, cultivate their intellect, and strive for excellence in all aspects of their lives. By embracing the virtues of studying, we can enrich our minds, enhance our skills, and ultimately lead more fulfilling and successful lives.。

伯特兰·罗素《弗兰西斯·培根》(中英文互译)伯特兰·阿瑟·威廉·罗素(Bertrand Arthur William Russell,1872—1970),英国哲学家、数学家、逻辑学家、历史学家、文学家,分析哲学的主要创始人,世界和平运动的倡导者和组织者,主要作品有《西方哲学史》《哲学问题》《心的分析》《物的分析》等。

罗素不仅在哲学、逻辑和数学上成就显著,在教育学、社会学、政治学和文学等许多领域也都颇有建树。

Francis Bacon弗兰西斯·培根FRANCIS BACON (1561-1626), although his philosophy is in many ways unsatisfactory, has permanent importance as the founder of modern inductive method and the pioneer in the attempt at logical systematization of scientic procedure. ...弗兰西斯·培根(1561—1626)是近代归纳法的创始人,又是给科学研究程序进行逻辑组织化的先驱,所以尽管他的哲学有许多地方欠圆满,他仍旧占有永久不倒的重要地位。

……Bacon's most important book, The Advancement of Learning, is in many ways remarkably modern. He is commonly regarded as the originator ofthe saying "Knowledge is power," and though he may have had predecessors who said the same thing, he said it with new emphasis. The whole basis of his philosophy was practical: to give mankind mastery over the forces of nature by means of scientific discoveries and inventions. He held that philosophy should be kept separate from theology, not intimately blended with it as in scholasticism. He accepted orthodox religion; he was not the man to quarrel with the government on such a matter. But while he thought that reason could show the existence of God, he regarded everything else in theology as known only by revelation. Indeed he held that the triumph of faith is greatest when to the unaided reason a dogma appears most absurd. Philosophy, however, should depend only upon reason. He was thus an advocate of the doctrine of "double truth," that of reason and that of revelation. This doctrine had been preached by certain Averroists in the thirteenth century, but had been condemned by the Church. The "triumph of faith" was, for the orthodox, a dangerous device. Bayle, in the late seventeenth century, made ironical use of it, setting forth at great length all that reason could say against some orthodox belief, and then concluding "so much the greater is the triumph of faith in nevertheless believing." How far Bacon's orthodoxy was sincere it is impossible to know.培根的最重要的著作《崇学论》在许多点上带显著的近代色彩。

弗朗西斯·培根FrancisBacon,英国20世纪最伟大的画家

弗朗西斯·培根FrancisBacon,英国20世纪最伟大的画家

弗朗西斯·培根FrancisBacon,英国20世纪最伟大的画家弗朗西斯·培根(1909-1992年)出生于爱尔兰都柏林,成长于英国。

1927年培根离家前往巴黎,参观了美术馆,因此对绘画产生了浓厚的兴趣。

1929年,他回到伦敦,在画室里用了两三年的时间使自己成为所谓“二流的装饰画家”。

同时,不断实验水彩画与素描,他的地毯设计和早期绘画、水彩,稍具立体主义的风格。

早期的培根承袭了毕加索的风格,逐渐在艺术圈中产生了知名度。

1933年,培根一幅《十字架受难图》被收入象征当时英国评论界指针性艺术著作的《当代艺术》中,并于1934年举办了自己的个人展,然而这一切外部的赞誉并没有带给培根以欣喜。

培根对自己绘画能力的有限与不足感到万般沮丧。

他曾宣称自己受困于画面表现与真实间难达契合的极大落差之中,并一度放弃绘画,而回归到酒吧中。

事后,他亲手毁去了绝大多数被他评为毫无价值的早期画作,并对这类早期画作绝口不提。

20世纪50年代,他以西班牙画家委拉斯开兹的名画《教皇英诺森十世》为本,改画成50多幅《肖像研究》的变体画作品,这些生动而有力的变形使教皇不可一世的统治变为恶魔的形象。

这批作品尺寸较大,表现之铺陈壮丽,其用色与笔触让人想到16世纪威尼斯画派提香的作品。

凭借绘画作品的独创性和有力的风格,培根声名鹊起。

1992年,弗朗西斯·培根在西班牙马德里去世,他的作品仍旧具有广泛的影响力。

画作特点弗朗西斯·培根具有广阔的文化背景,研究过尼采著作、样式主义和浪漫主义的绘画,并深受北欧怪诞风格画家的影响。

他习惯使用人物形象作为图画设计的基础,并使画中可视世界的物体和场景带上感情色彩。

他常从过去大师的画中选材,然而他对这些题材的态度受制于个人经验和内在的极度痛苦,这是一种幻灭的、兽性的恐怖感情,反映了当代都市生活的精神危机。

弗朗西斯·培根的《三联画》绘于1976年,作品以古代希腊神话为主题,由3幅巨幅画作组成,中间画面是一个没有头的人被三只秃鹫环绕,两侧画面分别为一名面容畸形的男子。

以上两句句子结构零散并含有从句,因 此初学者在翻译时可能会出现语言表达 不清,不符合习惯用语。但译文“经验 丰富的人虽善于处理个别事物,或许也 能一桩桩地做出判断,但纵观全局、统 筹安排则唯有博学之士最能胜任”(黄 宏煦译)真真切切地做到了充分的习惯 的表达。

《Of Love》Francis Bacon(《论爱》弗朗西斯·培根)

Of Love原文及翻译:【1】The stage is more beholding to love, than the life of man. For as to the stage, love is ever matter of comedies /ˈkɑmədis/, and now and then of tragedies /ˈtrædʒədis/; but in life it doth much mischief; sometimes like a siren, sometimes like a fury.舞台上的爱情生活比生活中的爱情要美好得多。

因为在舞台上,爱情只是喜剧和悲剧的素材,而在人生中,爱情却常常招来不幸。

它有时象那位诱惑人的魔女(1),有时又像那位复仇的女神(2)。

You may observe, that amongst all the great and worthy persons (whereof the memory remaineth, either ancient or recent) there is not one, that hath been transported to the mad degree of love: which shows that great spirits, and great business, do keep out this weak passion.可以看到,一切真正伟大的人物(无论是古人、今人,只要是其英名永铭于人类记忆中的,)没有一个是因爱情而发狂的人。

【2】You must except, nevertheless, Marcus Antonius, the half partner of the empire /ˈempaɪər/ of Rome, and Appius Claudius, the decemvir /di'semvə/ and law-giver; whereof the former was indeed a voluptuous /vəˈlʌptʃuəs/ man, and inordinate /ɪnˈɔːrdɪnət/; but the latter was an austere /ɔːˈstɪr/ and wise man: and therefore it seems (though rarely) that love can find entrance, not only into an open heart, but also into a heart well-fortified /'fɔ:tifaid/, if watch be not well kept.你因为伟大的事业只有罗马的安东尼和克劳底亚是例外(3)。

王译: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。

分析:原文大量使用排比句,选段使用“too much/ wholly”这一表达进一步构成排比。

含有排比结构的句子往往说理有力,叙事生动。

在散文中运用排比,不但语言简洁,语义丰富,而且语音和谐,朗朗上口,节奏明快,具有极强的感染力。

英语美文从培根到伍尔芙 Ting Bao was revised on January 6, 20021Ⅰ.O f L o v e-b y F r a n c i s B a c o nThe stage is more beholding to love, than the life of man. For asto the stage, love is ever matter of comedies, and now and then of tragedies; but in life it doth much mischief; sometimes like a siren, sometimes like a fury.舞台上的爱情生活比生活中的爱情要美好得多。

因为在舞台上,爱情只是喜剧和悲剧的素材,而在人生中,爱情却常常招来不幸。

它有时像那位诱惑人的魔女(1),有时又像那位复仇的女神(2)。

You may observe, that amongst all the great and worthy persons (whereof the memory remaineth, either ancient or recent) there is not one, that hath been transported to the mad degree of love: which shows that great spirits, and great business, do keep out this weak passion. You must except, nevertheless, Marcus Antonius, the half partner of the empire of Rome, and Appius Claudius, the decemvir and lawgiver; whereof the former was indeed a voluptuous man, and inordinate; but the latter was an austere and wise man: and therefore it seems (though rarely) that love can find entrance, not only into an open heart, but also into a heart well fortified, if watch be not well kept.你可以看到,一切真正伟大的人物(无论是古人、今人,只要是其英名永铭于人类记忆中的),没有一个是因爱情而发狂的人。

Nay, there is no stond or impediment in the wit, but may be wrought out by fit studies, like as diseases of the body may have appropriate exercises. Bowling is good for the stone and reins, shooting for the lungs and breast, gentle walking for the stomach, riding for the head, and the like.
According to Bacon,man's understanding consists of three parts:history to man's memory,poetry to man's imagination and creation,and philosophy to man's reason.
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 of a scholar.
Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing 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.

Bacon’s Essays
• His Essays is the first example of that genre in English literature, which has been recognized as an important landmark in the development of English prose. • Bacon’s essays are famous for their brevity, compactness and powerfulness. And the neatness, the preciseness, the gravity, and the weightiness are the essential qualities of his writings. • Balance and opposition are the most common strategies he uses to achieve both the appearance of balance and the concealment(隐藏) of his own opinions under the cloak (掩饰)of the opposing alternatives.
