論死亡 》《 論美 》 等著名篇章。 ? 讀書足以怡情,足以傅彩,足以長(zhǎng)才。高談闊論時(shí),知識(shí)可供裝飾。 論讀書 ? 讀書費(fèi)時(shí)過(guò)多易惰,文采藻飾太盛則矯,全憑條文斷事乃學(xué)究故態(tài)。人的天性猶如野生的花草,求知學(xué)習(xí)好比修剪移栽。知識(shí)本身并沒(méi)有告訴人怎樣運(yùn)用它,運(yùn)用的智慧在于書本之外。為挑剔辯駁去讀書是無(wú)聊的。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(shí)須全神貫注,孜孜不倦。 論讀書 ? 書亦可請(qǐng)人代讀,取其所作摘要,但只限題材較次或價(jià)值不高者,否則書經(jīng)提煉猶如水經(jīng)蒸餾、淡而無(wú)味矣。 論讀書 ? 讀書使人充實(shí),討論使人機(jī)智,筆記使人準(zhǔn)確。如果一個(gè)懶于動(dòng)筆,他的記憶力就必須強(qiáng)而可靠??傊爸R(shí)能塑造人的性格”。如此頭腦中凡有缺陷,皆有特藥可醫(yī)。缺乏分析判斷的人,他可以研習(xí)而上學(xué),因?yàn)檫@門學(xué)問(wèn)最講究細(xì)瑣的辯證。 論讀書 ? Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring。其冶情也,最見(jiàn)于獨(dú)處幽居之時(shí);其博彩也,最見(jiàn)于高談闊論之中;其長(zhǎng)才也,最見(jiàn)于處世判事之際。 to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humour of a scholar. ? 讀書費(fèi)時(shí)過(guò)多易惰,文采藻飾太盛則矯,全憑條文斷事乃學(xué)究故態(tài)。 for they teach not their own use。 nor to find talk and discourse。 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。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(shí)須全神貫注、孜孜不倦。 and writing and exact man. And therefore, if a man write little, he had need have a great memory。 Of Study ? Histories make men wise。 moral grave。 shooting for the lungs and breast。保齡利睪腎,射箭利胸肺,慢步利腸胃,騎馬利頭腦,諸如此類。 for they are cymini sectores.
