A translator is always trying to extend his knowledge and improve his means of expression。 he is always pursuing facts and words. He works on four levels: translation is first a science, which entails the knowledge and verification of the facts and the language that describes them—here, what is wrong, mistakes of truth, can be identified。 secondly, it is a skill, which calls for appropriate language and acceptable usage。 thirdly, an art, which distinguishes good from undistinguished writing and is the creative, the intuitive, sometimes the inspired, level of the translation。 lastly, a matter of taste, where argument ceases, preferences are expressed, and the variety of meritorious translation is the reflection of individual differences. ? We had plenty of pany in the way of wagonloads and muleloads of tourists—and dust. ? 我們的旅伴真不少：馬車載的，騾子馱的，還有滾滾塵土。 ? “ It’s an order from President Bush.” “I don’t care if it is from bush, tree, or grass.” ? “這是布什總統(tǒng)的命令?！薄拔也挪还苁裁床际?、布頭、還是布片呢?！?

Some fishing boats were becalmed just in front of us. Their shadows slept, or almost slept, upon the water, a gentle quivering alone showing that it was not plete sleep, or if sleep, that it was sleep with dreams. ? 漁舟三五，橫泊眼前，檣影斜映水上，仿若睡去，微有顫動，似又未曾熟睡，恍若驚夢。 ? 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, e 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 the scholar. They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience。 for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need proyning by study。 and studies themselves do give forth directions to much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. ? 讀書足以怡情，足以傅彩，足以長才。其怡情也，最見于獨(dú)處幽居之時；其傅彩也，最見于高談闊論之中；其長才也，最見于處世判事之際。練達(dá)之士雖能分別處理細(xì)事或一一判別枝節(jié)，然縱觀統(tǒng)籌，全局策劃，則舍好學(xué)深思者莫屬。讀書費(fèi)時過多易惰，文采藻飾太盛則矯，全憑條文斷事乃學(xué)究固態(tài)。讀書補(bǔ)天然之不足，經(jīng)驗(yàn)又補(bǔ)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(yàn)范之，則又大而無當(dāng)。
