培根美文《論讀書》原文及三種譯文鑒賞

閱讀是我們獲取知識的重要手段，下面是培根著名的關于讀書的一篇美文——論讀書，并奉上另外兩個版本的譯文。對于好的書，可以多加研讀，對于普通書籍，知其大意即可，就像在快速閱讀中，閱讀是彈性的，你可以選擇對內容把握程度的深淺。“有些書可以淺嘗輒止，有些書可以生吞，而有少數(shù)書應該細嚼慢咽，融會貫通”——

談讀書

——王佐良譯

讀書足以怡情，足以博彩，足以長才。其怡情也，最見于獨處幽居之時；其博彩也，最見于高談闊論之中；其長才也，最見于處世判事之際。練達之士雖能分別處理細事或一一判別枝節(jié)，然縱觀統(tǒng)籌、全局策劃，則舍好學深思者莫屬。

讀書費時過多易惰，文采藻飾太盛則矯，全憑條文斷事乃學究故態(tài)。讀書補天然之不足，經(jīng)驗又補讀書之不足，蓋天生才干猶如自然花草，讀書然后知如何修剪移接；而書中所示，如不以經(jīng)驗范之，則又大而無當。

有一技之長鄙讀書，無知者慕讀書，唯明智之士用讀書，然讀書并不以用處告人，用書之智不在書中，而在書外，全憑觀察得之。讀書時不可存心詰難作者，不可盡信書上所言，亦不可只為尋章摘句，而應推敲細思。

書有可淺嘗者，有可吞食者，少數(shù)則須咀嚼消化。換言之，有只須讀其部分者，有只須大體涉獵者，少數(shù)則須全讀，讀時須全神貫注，孜孜不倦。書亦可請人代讀，取其所作摘要，但只限題材較次或價值不高者，否則書經(jīng)提煉猶如水經(jīng)蒸餾，淡而五味矣。

讀書使人充實，討論使人機智，筆記使人準確。因此不常做筆記者須記憶特強，不常討論者須天生聰穎，不常讀書者須欺世有術，始能無知而顯有知。

讀史使人明智，讀詩使人靈秀，數(shù)學使人周密，科學使人深刻，論理學使人莊重，邏輯修辭之學使人善辯：凡有所學，皆成性格。人之才智但有滯礙，無不可讀適當之書使之順暢，一如身體百病，皆可借相宜之運動除之。滾球利睪腎，射箭利胸肺，慢步利腸胃，騎術利頭腦，諸如此類。如智力不集中，可令讀數(shù)學，蓋演算須全神貫注，稍有分散即須重演；如不能辨異，可令讀經(jīng)院哲學，蓋是輩皆吹毛求疵之人；如不善求同，不善以一物闡證另一物，可令讀律師之案卷。如此頭腦中凡有缺陷，皆有特藥可醫(yī)。

Of Studies

——Francis Bacon

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 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 affection; 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 confuse; 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 ready 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 makes 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 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. 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 defect of the mind may have a special receipt.

論讀書

——廖運范譯

讀書能給人樂趣、文雅和能力。人們獨居或退隱的時候，最能體會到讀書的樂趣；談話的時候，最能表現(xiàn)出讀書的文雅；判斷和處理事務的時候，最能發(fā)揮由讀書而獲得的能力。那些有實際經(jīng)驗而沒有學識的人，也許能夠一一實行或判斷某些事物的細微末節(jié)，但對于事業(yè)的一般指導、籌劃與處理，還是真正有學問的人才能勝任。

耗費過多的時間去讀書便是遲滯，過分用學問自炫便是矯揉造作，而全憑學理判斷一切，則是書呆子的癖好。學問能美化人性，經(jīng)驗又能充實學問。天生的植物需要人工修剪，人類的本性也需要學問誘導，而學問本身又必須以經(jīng)驗來規(guī)范，否則便太迂闊了。

技巧的人輕視學問，淺薄的人驚服學問，聰明的人卻能利用學問。因為學問本身并不曾把它的用途教給人，至于如何去應用它，那是在學問之外、超越學問之上、由觀察而獲得的一種聰明呢！讀書不是為著要辯駁，也不是要盲目信從，更不是去尋找談話的資料，而是要去權衡和思考。

有些書只需淺嘗，有些書可以狼吞，有些書要細嚼慢咽，漫漫消化。也就是說，有的書只需選讀，有的書只需瀏覽，有的書卻必須全部精讀。有些書不必去讀原本，讀讀它們的節(jié)本就夠了，但這僅限于內容不大重要的二流書籍：否則，刪節(jié)過的往往就像蒸餾水一樣，淡而無味。

讀書使人淵博，論辯使人機敏，寫作使人精細。如果一個人很少寫作，他就需要有很強的記憶力；如果他很少辯論，就需要有機智；如果他很少讀書，就需要很狡猾，對于自己不懂的事情，假裝知道。歷史使人聰明，詩歌使人富于想象，數(shù)學使人精確，自然哲學使人深刻，倫理學使人莊重，邏輯學和修辭學使人善辯。

總之，讀書能陶冶個性。不僅如此，讀書并且可以鏟除一切心理上的障礙，正如適當?shù)倪\動能夠矯治身體上的某些疾病一般。例如，滾球有益于腎臟；射箭有益于胸肺；散步有益于腸胃；騎馬有益于頭腦等等。因此，假若一個人心神散亂，最好讓他學習數(shù)學，因為在演算數(shù)學題目的時候，一定得全神貫注，如果注意力稍一分散，就必須得再從頭做起。假若一個人拙于辨別差異，就讓他去請教那些演繹派的大師們，因為他們正是剖析毫發(fā)的人。假若一個人心靈遲滯，不能舉一反三，最好讓他去研究律師的案件。所以每一種心理缺陷，都有一種特殊的補救良方。

論學習

——孫有中譯

學習可以作為消遣，作為裝點，也可以增進才能。其為消遣之用，主在獨處、歸休之時；為裝點，則在高談闊論之中；為才能，則在明辨是非、深謀遠慮之間；因為專于一技者可以操持甚或判斷一事一物，而唯有博學之士方能縱觀全局，通權達變。

過度沉溺于學習是怠惰；過度炫耀學問是華而不實；食書不化乃書生之大疾。學習可以完善天性，并通過經(jīng)驗得以完善自身；因為天生之才猶如天然之草木，尚需通過學習加以修整；而紙上學問未免空談，除非由經(jīng)驗加以約束。

聰穎者鄙視學習，愚魯者羨慕學習，明智者利用學習；學習本身并不教人如何運用；唯有觀察可以帶來超越學習的智慧。讀書不為爭論長短，不為輕信盲從，也不為高談闊論，而旨在衡情度理。

有些書可以淺嘗輒止，有些書可以生吞，而有少數(shù)書應該細嚼慢咽，融會貫通；換言之，有些書可以

閱讀，但不必謹小慎微；而有少數(shù)書應該悉心通讀，刻苦研習。有些書可以請人代讀，也可以讀其節(jié)選；但這只限于那些不夠重要的論述和粗制濫造的書籍；否則，經(jīng)過提煉的書猶如經(jīng)過提煉的水一樣，淡而無味。

讀書使人充實，討論使人機智，筆記使人嚴謹；因此，假若一個人很少做筆記，那他需要有超人的記憶；假若他很少討論，那他需要天資聰穎；而假若他很少讀書，那他需要有充分的狡詐掩飾自己的無知。讀史使人明智，讀詩使人聰穎，算數(shù)使人縝密，自然哲學使人深刻，倫理使人莊重，邏輯與修辭使人善辯。

總之，學習造就性格；不盡如此，心智中任何障礙可以通過恰當?shù)膶W習來疏通。這正如身體尚的疾病可以通過恰當?shù)腻憻拋硐�除：滾球有益于腰腎，射箭有益于胸肺，慢步有益于腸胃，騎馬有益于大腦，等等。因此，假若有人甚至懶散，那就讓他學習算術，因為在演算中，注意力稍有分散，他就必須從頭做起；假若他的智慧不足以辨別差異，那就讓他學習經(jīng)院哲學家，因為他們善于吹毛求疵；而假若他不擅處理事務，不能觸類旁通，那就讓他學習律師的案例。因此，心智上的每一種缺陷都可能有專門的藥方。

前幾天應邀給朋友們談了談培根Of Studies一文的漢語翻譯問題。現(xiàn)將部分講稿發(fā)布于此，請砭正。

【文趣欣賞】

Of Studies，是培根400年前撰寫的一篇探討讀書問題的散文雜記，亦是英語文學中婦孺皆知的勸學名篇。該文筆力遒勁蒼幽，思想精深悠遠，行文簡潔明快，論述深入淺出，分析桴鼓相應，讀來時若春雨潤物，時若激流漂石，時若清風拂面，時若萬籟俱號，令人似置身莊子《齊物論》所謂之“野馬也，塵埃也，生物之以息相吹也”之境界中。

Of Studies從讀書之功用立論，分析了讀書學習對人生不同凡響的意義。同時人們對讀書學習態(tài)度之取向、方法之別異，也直接影響到了學習效果的涇渭兩色。培根以為讀書的功用有三，即Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability。其在人生中的具體體現(xiàn)亦有三，即 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.

在作者看來，人們的經(jīng)驗與學識，亦直接影響其讀書之取向與效用。具體說來，就是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. 由于方法之不同，學習之效果也將各異。所以培根說，To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament is affection; to make judgment wholly by their rules is the humor of a scholar. 這個

說法頗似孟子“僅信書則不如無書”之教誨。

讀書不能全憑經(jīng)驗判理，而學識亦不可脫離實際獨存。經(jīng)驗與學識，當是相輔相成的、彼此互補的。在培根看來，這兩方面的積累是人生所不可或缺的知識積淀。所以，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.

而對讀書態(tài)度之不同，亦決定讀書者獲益之眾寡。常見的現(xiàn)象是，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. 讀書不求學問長進，而是存心吹毛求疵詰難作者，以顯其能。這是另外一種庸人讀書心態(tài)。懷著此種心態(tài)讀書，焉能從中獲益！所以培根告誡學人，Read not to contradict and confuse; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.

在前蘇聯(lián)電影《列寧在1918》中，有這樣一個情節(jié)：列寧為了躲避密探的追捕，隱蔽朋友瓦西里家里。晚上，列寧將瓦西里給他搬來的書分作兩類，并告訴瓦西里哪些書可以枕頭，哪些書應當墊腳。所謂枕頭的書，就是需要認真拜讀、仔細品味、努力思考的佳作。所謂墊腳的書，就是那些文風浮淺、思想輕淺、論述表淺的平庸之作。培根對書的認識與列寧的看法，可謂所見不差。所以他說，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 ready wholly, and with diligence and attention.

讀書的方法，自然涵蓋對所讀之書的選擇和所讀內容的鑒賞這兩個方面。然而，在一定意義上，讀書的方法還包括所謂之“不讀之讀”�！安蛔x之讀”，即由于種種原因，讀者不直接閱讀有關書本的內容，而是通過閱讀有關評介文章或他人的讀書筆記來了解有關著作的基本思想和內容。這種讀書方式，其實就是現(xiàn)代人士所慣常憑借之學習方法。人們采用這種學習方法，出于種種原因。一則原著闕如，無法直接欣賞，于是便通過閱讀他人的筆記或評介以足心愿。二則時間有限，無法一一拜讀，只好尋求便捷途徑了解其大致內容要旨。自然，采用這種讀書方法的，恐怕也有投機之嫌。

然而，對于孜孜以求于學問的莘莘學子而言，此法之運用，必得統(tǒng)籌兼顧，否則必然陷入人云亦云的泥沼之中。對此，培根的忠告是：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.

高爾基說，書籍是人類進步的階梯。對人類來說，書籍是進步的階梯。對于個人來說，書籍，自然，也是進步的階梯。書籍可以提高個人的文化素養(yǎng)、擴展個人的思想境界和發(fā)展個人的智慧潛能。所以，培根說Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.讀書者要達到這樣一個收獲頗豐的境界，其前提要律至關重要，那就是所讀之書須是好書佳作。

懶于讀書之人，想謀求進取，恐怕只能求實于夢中，絕難得益于現(xiàn)實。誠如培根所言： if a man write little, he had need have a great memory; if he confer little, he had need have a present

美文欣賞翻譯篇三：散文詩名篇賞析《Youth 青春》中英文

經(jīng)典英語名篇文章：青春

作者：Samuel Ullman

青春不是年華，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志、宏偉的想象、熾熱的感情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

經(jīng)典英語文章《青春》背后的故事：

太平洋戰(zhàn)爭打得正酣之時，麥克阿瑟將軍常常從繁忙中抬起頭，注視著掛在墻上的鏡框，鏡框里是篇文章，名為《青春》。這篇文章一直伴隨著他，也跟著他到了日本。后來，日本人在東京的美軍總部發(fā)現(xiàn)了它，《青春》便開始在日本流傳。

一位資深的日本問題觀察家說，在日本實業(yè)界，只要有成就者，沒有哪一個不熟知不應用這篇美文的，就連松下電器的創(chuàng)始人松下幸之助幾十年來也把《青春》當作他的座右銘。

還有這么一件趣事，足以證明《青春》在日本的魅力。一天，美國影片銷售協(xié)會主席羅森菲爾德參加日本實業(yè)界的聚會，晚宴之前的談話，他隨意說了一句：“《青春》的作者，便是我的祖父。”在座的各位實業(yè)界領袖大為驚訝，其中有一位一邊激動地說“我一直隨身帶著它呢”，一邊從口袋里掏出了《青春》。

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of

mind. It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips

and supple knees. It is a matter of the will, a

quality of the imagination, vigor of the

emotions; it is the freshness of the deep spring

of life.

Youth means a temperamental

predominance of courage over timidity, of the

appetite for adventure over the love of ease.

This often exits in a man of 60, more than a

boy of 20.nobody grows merely by the

number of years; we grow old by deserting

our ideas. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to

心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇跡之誘惑， Whether 60 or 16, there is in every

your heart and my heart there is a wireless

station; so long as it receives messages of

men and from infinite, so long as you are

When the aerials are down, and your

spirit is covered with the snows of cynicism

and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown

old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are

you may die young at 80.

受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的信號，你就青春永駐，風華常存。一旦天線倒塌，銳氣被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭、自暴自棄油然而生，幾十年方二十，實已垂老矣；然則只要豎起天線，捕捉樂觀的信號，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺得年輕。

《青 春》

作者：薩繆爾·厄爾曼 王佐良 翻譯

青春不是年華，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志、恢宏的想像、熾熱的感情；青春是生命的深泉涌流。

青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，進取壓倒茍安。如此銳氣，二十后生有之，六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加，并非垂老；理想丟棄，方墮暮年。

歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚；熱忱拋卻，頹唐必致靈魂。憂煩、惶恐、喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。

無論年屆花甲，抑或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡愉，奇跡之感召，孩童般天真久盛不衰。

人的心靈應如浩淼瀚海，只有不斷接納美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的百川，才能青春永駐、風華長存。

一旦心海枯竭，銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭、 自暴自棄油然而生，即使年方二十，實已垂垂老矣；然則只要虛懷若谷，讓喜悅、達觀、仁愛充盈其間，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺年輕。

《青 春》

黃志堅 翻譯

青春，并非年輕歲月，而是一種心態(tài)；青春的特征，并非粉頰、朱唇、柔肢，而是毅力、激情、創(chuàng)意；青春是生命涌泉的清澈、激揚。

青春，是指超越怯懦、勇氣如虹，不圖安逸、敢闖敢試。毅力若此，花甲多勝弱冠。年歲遞增，非必老化；背棄理想，方陷殘年。

歲月留痕，只及肌膚；激情不再，皺起心靈。憂懼自卑，終致身心佝僂、精神萎靡。

無論年少或年長，當懷好奇的誘導，像孩子般總渴求著：接下來的進展及馳騁人生的歡樂。

人人皆有心靈的感官，只要感受源源來自人間與穹蒼的啟發(fā)，感應有關美好、希望、激情、勇毅和能力的信息，你就會朝氣勃勃、青春無限。
