Of LoveBy BaconThe stage is more beholding to love, than the life of man1. For as t o the stage, love is ever matter of comedies, and now and then of tragedie s; but in life it doth much mischief; sometimes like a siren,2sometimes lik e a fury.3You 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 gr eat spirits,and great business4, do keep out this weak passion. You must e xcept, nevertheless, Marcus Antonius, the half partner of the empire of Ro me, and Appius Claudius, the decemvir and lawgiver; whereof the former was indeed a voluptuous man, and inordinate; but the latter was an auster e 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 fortified5, i f watch be not well kept. It is a poor saying of Epicurus, Satis magnum alt er alteri theatrum sumus; as if man, made for the contemplation of heaven , and all noble objects, should do nothing but kneel be- fore a little idol, a nd make himself a subject, though not of the mouth (as beasts are), yet of the eye; which was given him for higher purposes6.舞台上的爱情比生活中的爱情要美好得多1。

培根名篇《 论读书》中英文标准对照

培根名篇《 论读书》中英文标准对照

Of Studies by Francios BaconS tudies 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. 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 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 anddigested; 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 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 does not. Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtitle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend.谈读书读书足以怡情,足以博彩,足以长才。

培根关于婚姻的观点的名言解析英文版

培根关于婚姻的观点的名言解析英文版

培根关于婚姻的观点的名言解析英文版Francis Bacon, a renowned English philosopher and statesman, had profound insights into various aspects of life, including marriage. In this analysis, we will delve into some of Bacon's notable quotes on marriage and unravel the wisdom and perspectives hidden within them.One of Bacon's famous quotes on marriage is, "He that hath wife and children hath given hostages to fortune; for they are impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue or mischief." This quote reflects Bacon's belief that marriage and family responsibilities can be both a source of strength and a hindrance to one's ambitions. By using the term "hostages to fortune," Bacon suggests that having a spouse and children can tie one down and limit their freedom to pursue grand endeavors. However, he also acknowledges that family can provide stability and motivation for individuals to strive for excellence intheir endeavors.Another insightful quote by Bacon is, "It is a strange desire, to seek power and to lose liberty; or to seek power over others and to lose power over a man's self." In this quote, Bacon highlights the paradoxical nature of seeking power and control in relationships. He warns against the temptation to dominate others, as it may lead to a loss of personal autonomy and self-control. Bacon emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balance between asserting authority and preserving one's own freedom and integrity in marriage and other relationships.Bacon also remarked, "Marriage is the mother of the world, and preserves kingdoms, and fills cities, and churches, and heaven itself." This quote underscores the significance of marriage as a foundational institution that sustains societies and fosters growth and prosperity. Bacon recognizes the pivotal role of marriage in shaping the fabric of civilization and perpetuating human existence through the creation of families and communities. He views marriage not only as a personal union but also as a cornerstone of social order and continuity.In his quote, "Certainly the best works, and ofgreatest merit for the public, have proceeded from the unmarried or childless men; which both in affection and means, have married and endowed the public." Bacon acknowledges the contributions of individuals who remain unmarried or childless in dedicating themselves to public service and philanthropy. He suggests that those unencumbered by family obligations may have greater freedom to pursue noble causes and advance the common good. However, Bacon also recognizes the value of marriage in fostering a sense of responsibility and commitment to the welfare of society.Lastly, Bacon observed, "In the youth of a state, arms do flourish; in the middle age of a state, learning; and then both of them together for a time; in the declining age of a state, mechanical arts and merchandise." This quote reflects Bacon's broader perspective on the evolution of societies and the shifting priorities and values across different stages of development. While not explicitly about marriage, this quote underscores the dynamic nature of human societies and the interplay of various factors,including marriage, in shaping the trajectory of civilizations.In conclusion, Francis Bacon's reflections on marriage offer profound insights into the complexities and nuances of human relationships and societal dynamics. His quotes encapsulate timeless truths about the challenges and rewards of marriage, the balance between personal freedom and social responsibilities, and the enduring significance of family in the fabric of society. By unraveling Bacon's perspectives on marriage, we gain a deeper appreciation for the multifaceted nature of this fundamental institution in shaping individual lives and the course of history.。

培根论读书名言英文版1.培根的名言英文Seek not proud riches, but such as thou mayest get justly, use soberly, distribute cheerfully, and leave contentedly.不要寻求令人称羡的财富,应当追求这样的境界:对财富正当地获取,清醒地使用,愉快地施舍并能知足地放弃。

It is impossible to love and be wise. 要恋爱而又要理智是不可能的。

This passion hath his floods, in very times of weakness; which are great prosperity, and great adversity; though this latter hath been less observed: both which times kindle love, and make it more fervent, and therefore show it to be the child of folly 当人心最软弱的时候,爱情最容易入侵,那就是当人得意春风,忘乎所以和处境窘困孤独凄零的时候,虽然后者未必能得到爱情。

人在这样的时候最急于跳入爱情的火焰中由此可见,“爱情”实在是“愚蠢”的儿子。

In beauty, that of favor, is more than that of color; and that of decent and gracious motion, more than that of favor 形体之美要胜于颜色之美,而优雅行为之美又胜于形体之美There is no man that imparteth his joys to his friends, but that he joyeth the more; and no man that imparteth is griefs to his friends, but he grieveth the less. 与友分享欢乐者,无不欢乐倍增;与友分担哀伤者,无不哀伤减半Beauty is as summer fruits, which are easy to corrupt, and cannot last; and for the most part it makes a dissolute youth, and an age a little out of countenance 美犹如盛夏的水果,是容易腐烂而难保持的,世上有许多美人,她们有过放荡的青春,却迎受着愧悔的晚年。

论爱情-培根

论爱情-培根

《论爱情》培根舞台上的爱情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,有时又像那位复仇的女神。

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:因为伟大的事业抑制了这种软弱的感憎。

只有罗马的安东尼和克劳底亚是例外。

前者本性就好色荒淫,然而后者却是严肃多谋的人。

所以爱情不仅会占领开旷坦阔的胸怀,有时也能闯入壁垒森严的心灵--假如守御不严的话。

埃皮克拉斯曾说过一句笑话:“人生不过是一座大戏台。

”似乎本应努力追求高尚事业的人类,却只应像玩偶奴隶般地逢场作戏似的。

虽然爱情的奴隶并不同于那班只顾吃喝的禽兽,但毕竟也只是眼目色相的奴隶--而上帝赐人以眼睛本来是更高尚的用途的。

过度的爱情追求,必然会降低人本身的价值。

例如,只有在爱情中,才永远需要那种浮夸诌媚的词令。

而在其他场合,同样的词令只能招人耻笑。

古人有一句名言:“最大的奉承,人总是留给自己的”。

--只有对情人的奉承要算例外。

因为甚至最骄傲的人,也甘愿在情人面前自轻自贱。

所以古人说得好:“就是神在爱情中也难保持聪明。

”情人的这种弱点不仅在外人眼中是明显的,就是在被追求者的眼中也会很明显――除非她(他)也在追求他(她)。

所以,爱情的代价就是如此,不能得到回爱,就会得到一种深藏于心的轻蔑,这是一条永真的定律。

由此可见,人们应当十分警惕这种感情。

因为它不但会使人丧失其他,而且可以使人丧失自己本身。

至于其他方面的损失,古诗人早已告诉我们,那追求海伦的人,是放弃了财富和智慧的。

当人心最软弱的时候,爱情最容易入侵,那就是当人得意春风,忘乎所以和处境窘困孤独凄零的时候,虽然后者未必能得到爱情。

人在这样的时候最急于跳入爱情的火焰中,由此可见,“爱情”实在是“愚蠢”的儿子。

但有一些人,即使心中有了爱,仍能约束它,使它不妨碍重大的事业。

By how much the more, men ought to beware of this passion, which loseth not only other things, but itself! As for the other losses, the poet's relation doth well figure them: that he that preferred Helena, quitted the gifts of Juno and Pallas. For whosoever esteemeth too much of amorous affection, quitteth both riches and wisdom.

At that time one is the most anxious to jump into the flames of love. There love is indeed the son of foolishness.

世上尽有一般人喜欢把意见变来变去,并且认为固定了一种信仰即等于上了一套枷锁;在思想上和在行为上他们都一样地要求意志底自由。

并且虽然这一流的各派哲学家已成过去,然而仍有些心志游移的说者和他们同声同气,——虽然这般人比起古人来血气薄弱一点。

but it is not only the difficulty, and labour, which men take in finding out of truth; nor again, mat when it is found, it imposeth upon men s thoughts; that doth bring lies in favour: but a natural, though corrupt love, of the lie itself. one of the later school of me grecians, examineth the matter, and is at a stand, to think what should be in it, mat men should love lies; where neither they make for pleasure, as with poets; nor for advantage, as with me merchant; but for the lie's sake. but i cannot tell: this same truth, is a naked, and open day light, mat doth not show, the masques, and mummeries, and triumphs of the world, half so stately, and daintily, as candlelights. truth may perhaps come to the price of a pearl, that showeth best by day: but it will not rise, to me price of a diamond, or carbuncle, that showeth best in varied lights. a mixture of a lie doth ever add pleasure. doth any man doubt, mat if there were taken out of men s minds, vain opinions, nattering hopes, false valuations, imaginations as one would, and the like; but it would leave the minds, of a number of men, poor shrunken things; full of melancholy, and indisposition, and unpleasing to themselves? one of the fathers, in great severity, called poesy, vinum daenwnwn; because it filleth the imagination, and yet it is, but with me shadow of a lie. but it is not me lie, that passeth through the mind, but me lie mat sinketh in, and settleth in it, that doth me hurt, such as we spake of before. but howsoever these things arc thus, in men's depraved judgements, and affections, yet truth, which only doth judge itself, teacheth, that the inquiry of truth, which is the love-making, or wooing of it; the knowledge of truth, which is the presence of it; and the belief of truth, which is the enjoying of it; is the sovereign good of human nature.但是使人们好伪说的原因,不仅是人们找寻真理时的艰难困苦,亦不是找寻着了真理之后真理所加于人们底思想的约束,而是一种天生的,虽然是恶劣的,对于伪说本身的爱好。

培根论真理中英对译

培根论真理中英对译

培根论真理中英对译What is truth? said jesting Pilate, and would not stay for an answer. Certainly there be, that delight in giddiness, and count it a bondage to fix a belief; affecting free-will in thinking, as well as in acting. And though the sects of philosophers of that kind be gone, yet there remain certain discoursing wits, which are of the same veins, though there be not so much blood in them, as was in those of the ancients. But it is not only the difficulty and labor, which men take in finding out of truth, nor again, that when it is found, it imposeth upon men’s thoughts, that doth bring lies in favor; but a natural, though corrupt love, of the lie itself. One of the later school of the Grecians, examineth the matter, and is at a stand, to think what should be in it, that men should love lies; where neither they make for pleasure, as with poets, nor for advantage, as with the merchant; but for the lie’s sake. But I cannot tell; this same truth, is a naked, and open day-light, that doth not show the masks, and mummeries, and triumphs, of the world, half so stately and daintily as candle-lights. Truth may perhaps come to the price of a pearl, that showeth best by day; but it will not rise to the price of a diamond, or carbuncle, that showeth best in varied lights. A mixture of a lie doth ever add pleasure. Doth any man doubt, that if there were taken out of men’s minds, vain opinions, flattering hopes, false valuations, imaginations as one would, and the like, but it would leave the minds, of a number of men, poor shrunken things, full of melancholy and indisposition, and unpleasing to themselves? One of the fathers, in great severity, called poesy vinum daemonum, because it fireth the imagination; and yet, it is but with the shadow of a lie. But it is not the lie that passeth throughthe mind, but the lie that sinketh in, and settleth in it, that doth the hurt; such as we spake of before. But howsoever these things are thus in men’s depraved judgments, and affections, yet truth, which only doth judge itself, teacheth that the inquiry of truth, which is the love-making, or wooing of it, the knowledge of truth, which is the presence of it, and the belief of truth, which is the enjoying of it, is the sovereign good of human nature. The first creature of God, in the works of the days, was the light of the sense; the last, was the light of reason; and his sabbath work ever since, is the illumination of his Spirit. First he breathed light, upon the face of the matter or chaos; then he breathed light, into the face of man; and still he breatheth and inspireth light, into the face of his chosen. The poet, that beautified the sect, that was otherwise inferior to the rest, saith yet excellently well: It is a pleasure, to stand upon the shore, and to see ships tossed upon the sea; a pleasure, to stand in the window of a castle, and to see a battle, and the adventures thereof below: but no pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage ground of truth (a hill not to be commanded, and where the air is always clear and serene), and to see the errors, and wanderings, and mists, and tempests, in the vale below; so always that this prospect be with pity, and not with swelling, or pride. Certainly, it is heaven upon earth, to have a man’s mind move in charity, rest in providence, and turn upon the poles of truth.To pass from theological, and philosophical truth, to the truth of civil business; it will be acknowledged, even by those that practise it not, that clear, and round dealing, is the honor of man’s nature; and that mixture of falsehoods, is like alloy in coin of gold and silver, which may make the metal work the better, but it embaseth it. For these winding, and crooked courses, are thegoings of the serpent; which goeth basely upon the belly, and not upon the feet. There is no vice, that doth so cover a man with shame, as to be found false and perfidious. And therefore Montaigne saith prettily, when he inquired the reason, why the word of the lie should be such a disgrace, and such an odious charge? Saith he, If it be well weighed, to say that a man lieth, is as much to say, as that he is brave towards God, and a coward towards men. For a lie faces God, and shrinks from man. Surely the wickedness of falsehood, and breach of faith, cannot possibly be so highly expressed, as in that it shall be the last peal, to call the judgments of God upon the generations of men; it being foretold, that when Christ cometh, he shall not find faith upon the earth.真理何物?皮拉多笑而问曰,未待人答,不顾而去。

在追求他(她)。

所以,爱情的代价就是如此,不能得到回爱,就会得到一种深藏于心的轻蔑,这是一条永真的定律。

The stage is more beholding to love,than the life of man. For as to 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. 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. It is a poor saying of Epicurus,Satis
magnum alter alteri theatrum sumus;as if man,made for the contemplation of heaven,and all noble objects,should do nothing but kneel be- fore a little idol,and make himself a subject,though not of the mouth (as beasts are),yet of the eye;which was given him for higher purposes.
It is a strange thing,to note the excess of this passion,and how it braves the nature,and value of things,by this;that the speaking in a perpetual hyperbole,is comely in nothing but in love. Neither is it merely in the phrase;for whereas it hath been well said,that the
arch-flatterer,with whom all the petty flatterers have intelligence,is a man`s self;certainly the lover is more. For there was never proud man thought so absurdly well of him self,as the lover doth of the person loved;and therefore it was well said,That it is impossible to love,and to be wise. Neither doth this weakness appear to others only,and not to the party loved;but to the loved most of all,except the love be reciproque. For it is a true rule,that love is ever rewarded,either with
the reciproque,or with an inward and secret contempt.。
