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 disposition of business. 读书足以怡情，足以博彩，足以长才。其怡情也，最见于 独处幽居之时；其博彩也，最见于高谈阔论之中；其长才 也，最见于处世判事之际。() 读书为学的用途是娱乐、装饰和增长才识。在娱乐上学问 底主要的用途是幽居养静；在装饰上学问底用处是辞令； 在长才上学问底用处是对于事物的判断和处理。

My life has been lived in the healthy area between too little and too much. I’ve never experienced financial or emotional insecurity, but everything I have, I’ve attained by my own work, not through indulgence, inheritance or privilege. 我一生都处于优越的境地，既不太穷又不太富，从未经历 过经济或情感危机，不过我拥有的一切，都是自我奋斗得 来，而不是受人溺爱、继承遗产或享受特权所致。 我一生都过得不错，不曾有过穷困潦倒，也不曾富得冒油， 无论经济上还是感情上都未遭受过危机，不过我拥有的一 切，都是自我奋斗得来，而不是受人溺爱、继承遗产或享 受特权所致。



求知可以作为消遣，可以作为装饰，也可以增长才干。当 你孤独寂寞时，阅读可以消遣。当你高谈阔论时，知识可 供装饰。当你处世行事时，正确运用知识意味着力量。
