论读书英文及中文译
FrancisBacon--ofstudy中英文
Of marriage and single life夫人之有妻儿也不啻已向命运典质，从此难成大事，无论善恶。
兴大业，立大功，往往系未婚无儿者所为，彼辈似已与公众结亲，故爱情产业并以付之。
按理而论，有子女者应对未来岁月最为关切，因已将至亲骨肉托付之矣。
独身者往往思虑仅及己身，以为未来与己无关。
有人则视妻儿为负债。
更有贪而愚者，以无儿女为荣，以为如此更可夸其富足。
此辈或曾闻人议论，一云此人为大富，另一则云否也，其人有多子负担，其财必损。
然独身之原因，最常见者为喜自由，尤其自娱任性之人不耐任何束缚，身上褡带亦视为桎梏。
未婚者为最好之友、最好之主、最好之仆，然非最好之臣，因其身轻易遁也，故亡命徒几全未婚。
未婚适合教会中人，因如先须注水于家池则无余泽以惠人矣。
然对法官行政官等则无足轻重，彼辈如收礼贪财，劣仆之害五倍于妻。
至于士兵，余尝见将军以渠等妻儿所望激励之，而土耳其人鄙视婚姻，故其士兵更为卑劣。
妻儿对人确为一种锻炼。
单身者本可心慈过人，因其资财少耗也，实则由于不常触其心肠，反而更为严酷(因而适为审判异端之官)。
庄重之人守规不渝，为夫常能爱妻，是故人云优利息斯“爱老妻胜过不朽也”。
贞节之妇自恃节操，不免骄纵。
欲使妻子守贞从夫，夫须有智；如妻疑夫猜忌，则断难听命矣。
妻子者，青年之情妇，中年之伴侣，老年之护士也，故如决心结婚，须善择时。
昔有智者答人问何时可婚，曾云：“青年未到时，老年不必矣。
”常见恶夫有良妻，是否由于此辈丈夫偶尔和善，更见其可贵，抑或此类妻子以忍耐为美德欤？可确言者，如妻子不顾友朋劝告而自择恶夫，则必尽力弥补前失。

（王佐良译《论读书》）读书为学的用途是娱乐、装饰和增长才识。

培根的论读书及翻译
关于翻译，严复先生提出了“信达雅”的三个简单而又难以实现的标准。
已故北京外国语大学王佐良教授对培根（Francis Bacon）的名篇Of Study 的翻译，实现了与原文在“形”和“神”上的传递。
培根（1561-1626）所处时代与中国当时的明朝（1368-1644）对应，英语应该是“文言”的英语，王佐良先生的翻译，采用半文言的形式，可谓对“信达雅”标准的最佳逼近！特转载于此！Of studyby Francis BaconSTUDIES serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability.

培根人物介绍作品论读书读后感英文中文
培根人物介绍作品论读书读后感英文中文Title: A Reflection on Francis Bacon’s “Of Studies”Francis Bacon’s essay, “Of Studies,”is a condensed yet profound piece of literature that extols the virtues and values of reading and learning. Bacon, a respected philosopher, statesman, and lawyer, penned this essay with the intent to enlighten and guide his readers toward a life enriched by study and intellectual pursuit.In “Of Studies,”Bacon opens with a striking declaration that studies serve as a lock and key to the mind, unraveling the potential for wisdom and understanding. Throughout the text, he employs vivid metaphors and aphorisms to illustrate the benefits and drawbacks of learning. He likens books to food, suggesting that some are nourishing, while others only serve to indulge or corrupt the intellect.One of the most striking elements of Bacon’s essay is his emphasis on the balance between study and experience. He argues that while books offer knowledge and guidance, it is through the application of this knowledge in the real world that true understanding can be achieved. This notion resonates deeply, as it speaks to the harmony between theory and practice, encouraging individuals to not get lost in theabstract but to ground their learning in reality.Bacon further discusses the different effects of studies on various types of people, from those who are intelligent but lack diligence, to those whose minds are ready and open like wax to receive impressions. His observations provide a nuanced perspective on how education impacts individuals differently, based on their nature and disposition.Upon finishing “Of Studies,”I am left with a greater appreciation for the role of learning in life. Bacon’s essay is more than a mere endorsement of reading; it is a guide on how to read and learn effectively. It underscores the importance of combining bookish knowledge with practical experience and personal reflection to cultivate wisdom.Bacon’s words serve as a timeless reminder that studies are not an end in themselves, but rather a means to an end—the enrichment of life and the enhancement of one's intellectual faculties. His essay compels us to critically engage with what we learn and to always seek a harmonious blend of learning and living.标题：反思弗朗西斯·培根的《论读书》弗朗西斯·培根的散文《论读书》是一篇内容凝练而意义深远的文学作品，它赞扬了阅读和学习的价值与美德。

• 以《论读书》为例看王 佐良先生的翻译风格
1. 从修辞角度来看
•
原文多用排比，比喻，重复等修辞手法达到 增强气势且语言简练的目的，这样作为一篇 说理性的文章更容易说服读者以达到传递信 息的作用。而王佐良先生的译文刚好也依照 原文工整的做出了翻译。他主张“尊重原作， 雅俗如之，口气如之，文体如之”。这就是 他的翻译出发点，所以在原文有排比的地方， 他也均采用排比，没有丝毫省略。语言清新 流畅，对仗工整。这些短小精悍的句子都使 文章更加耐人寻味，发人深省，增强气势。 这样的均衡美，匀称美充分体现了汉语言的 文化特色。
• Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtile; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend. Abeunt studia in morse. Studeis go to make up a man’s character. • 读史使人明智，读诗使人灵秀，数学使人 周密，科学使人深刻，伦理学使人庄重， 逻辑修辞之学使人善辩；凡有所学，皆成 性格。
3. 从整体意境来看
• 原文旨在说明读书的意义、态度以及方法， 王佐良先生同样在自己深刻领会之后向读 者传达了这样原文的信息以及美学价值。 翻译不仅是要翻译出原文的意思，更重要 的就是这个意境，因此这个韵味一定要有， 而本文章巧妙布局且措辞得当，他在传达 原文意境的过程中忠实原文，且同时又展 现了独特的中国韵味，并且注意了节奏美 与意境美的结合，这与译者本身的水平是 分不开的。
• 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 judgement and that are learned. 译文：读书足以怡情，足以博采，足以长才。其 怡情也，最见于独处幽居之时，其博采也，最见 于高谈阔论之中；其长才也，最见于处世判事之 际。 • 原文中的名词全部译为动词，读起来很有动感， 这是汉语的一大特色，此外，汉语中还有大量对 偶的动词词组，这些词的使用使汉语的动态意味 更加明显。英汉互译的过程往往是静态与动态互 相转换的过程，这是着两种语言一个很显著的差 异。

One of several views of epistemology [i,pisti'mɔlədʒi] , the study of human knowledge, along with rationalism, idealism and historicism, empiricism emphasizes the role of experience and evidence, especially sensory perception, in the formation of ideas, over the notion of innate ideas or traditionsThe Scientific Revolution is an era associated primarily with the 16th and 17th centuries during which new ideas and knowledge in physics, astronomy, biology, medicine and chemistry transformed medieval and ancient views of nature and laid the foundations for modern science.According to most accounts, the scientific revolution began in Europe towards the end of the Renaissance era and continued through the late 18th century, the later period known as The Enlightenment.[The] new Philosophy calls all in doubt,The Element of fire is quite put out;The Sun is lost, and th'earth, and no man's witCan well direct him where to look for it------John Donne2.

On StudiesBaconStudies 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 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 judgment wholly by their rules, is the humor of a scholar.

谈读书中英文版
OF STUDIES作者简介弗兰奇斯·培根（Francis Bacon ，1561—1626）是英国哲学家，作家和科学家。
他竭力倡导“读史使人明智，读诗使人聪慧，演算使人精密，哲理使人深刻，伦理学使人有修养，逻辑修辞使人善辩（Histories make men wise, poets witty, the mathematics subtle, natural philosophy deep, moral grave, logic and rhetoric able to contend)。
他推崇科学、发展科学的进步思想和崇尚知识的进步口号，一直推动着社会的进步。
这位一生追求真理的思想家，被马克思称为“英国唯物主义和整个现代实验科学的真正始祖”。
他在逻辑学、美学、教育学方面也提出许多思想。
著有《新工具》、《论说随笔文集》等。
后者收入58篇随笔，从各个角度论述广泛的人生问题，精妙、有哲理，拥有很多读者。
著有《学术的进步》（1605）和《新工具》（1620）等。
培根尖锐地批判了中世纪经院哲学，认为经院哲学和神学严重地阻碍了科学的进步，主张要全面改造人类的知识，使整个学术文化从经院哲学中解放出来，实现伟大的复兴。
他认为，科学必须追求自然界事物的原因和规律。
要达到这个目的，就必须以感官经验为依据。
他提出了唯物主义经验论的原则，认为知识和观念起源于感性世界，感觉经验是一切知识的源泉。
要获得自然的科学知识，就必须把认识建筑在感觉经验的基础上。
他还提出了经验归纳法，主张以实验和观察材料为基础，经过分析、比较、选择、排除，最后得出正确的结论。

Of Study

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 exe-cute and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counselsand the plots and marshalling of affairscome best from those that are learned.
To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornamentis affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rulesis the humor of a scholar.They perfect nature and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need proyningby study; and studies themselves, do give forth directions too much at large, except they be 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 themand 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 bothers; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the
meaner sort of books, else distilled books are like common distilled waters, flashy things.
Reading make 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.

Abeuntstudia 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 sectors.
