[参考译文] 书为友
观其友而知其人，同样，察一个人读些什么书就可知他的为人，只因书与人一样，也能做人之友。无论是书还是人，我们都应该择其最佳者为友。
一本好书可以成为人的挚友，古往今来，恒久不变。所有朋友中，书本最为耐心而又令人愉悦。我们身处逆境灰心沮丧时，书本并不变脸抛弃我们，始终如一，友爱接纳。我们年轻时，书本给我们以欢娱和陶冶；我们老迈时，又予我们以慰藉和鼓励。
黑兹利特曾说：“书香轻拂沁心灵，诗行轻滑渗血液。青春时所读之书，垂暮时依然会回想，仿佛就在身边发生。书籍价廉物美，我们就在书香中呼吸。”
一本好书往往就是作者的人生结晶，里面蕴藏着他穷其一生的求索成果。因为人一生的世界大多就是其思想的世界，故而最优秀的书籍也就是至理名言和辉煌思想的富藏。这些
思想若能铭记在心，就成为我们永久的朋友和永恒的慰藉。菲利普·悉尼爵士说得好：“与高尚思想为伴的人永不寂寞。”在我们受诱惑时，美好纯真的思想如同仁慈的天使，净化卫护着我们的灵魂，并蕴含着我们行动的萌芽，因为金玉良言总能激励我们美好的行为。

[导读]夏洛蒂·勃朗特(charlotte bronte)的《简爱》通过简·爱的自述，描绘的是一个出身贫苦家庭，长相平凡，无依无靠的女家庭教师的曲折遭遇。简，成为纯洁、热情、坦率、爱好真理，敢于追求幸福的女性的象征，因而形象鲜明。作品成功之处还在于作者在对人性的描述中，我们隐约看到了自己，卑劣或美丽的人性，而觉得心有戚戚焉。
‘i tell you i must go!’ i retorted, roused to something like passion.‘do you think i can stay to become nothing to you? do you think i am an automaton?i have as much soul as you,it is my spirit that addresses your spirit;just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at god's feet, equal,ecstasy so great that i would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy.i have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold
unfathomable lifeless abyss.i have sought it finally, because in the union of love i have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have is what i sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--i have equal passion i have sought knowledge.i have wished to understand the hearts of men.i have wished to know why the stars i have tried to apprehend the pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux.a little of this, but not much, i have and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the always pity brought me back to of cries of pain reverberate in my en in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be.i long to alleviate this evil, but i cannot, and i too has been my life.i have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.三种单纯而又异常强烈的情感控制着我的生活：对爱的渴望，对知识的渴求，还有因人类遭受痛苦而产生的难以忍受的怜悯。这三种情感，有如三股劲风，卷着我到处飘零，倏忽无定，飞越深深的苦海，濒临绝望的边缘。
我寻求爱，首先是因为爱能让人感到无比幸福——这幸福的感觉如此强烈，我恨不得拿我的余生去换取几个小时的幸福感。我寻求爱的第二个原因是，爱能解除孤寂感——一旦陷入可怕的孤寂之中，灵魂颤抖着从世界的边缘上窥视过去，却只见那又寒又冷、深不可测、毫无生气的深渊。我寻求爱的最后一个原因是，在爱的欢聚中，我看到圣者和诗人们在想象中所预见的天堂景象的神秘缩影。这就是我的追求，尽管对人生而言这好象有点儿可望不可及，但我最终还是如愿以偿了。
我以丝毫不减的热情寻求知识。我发愿要了解人心。我发愿去探究群星闪耀的秘密。我也曾努力理解毕达哥拉斯赋予数的力量，在他那里，数主宰了万物的流变。结果我获得了一点，而不是很多的知识。
爱和知识尽可能的将我引向高高的天空。但是怜悯又往往把我拽回大地。痛哭的回声在我心中回荡不已。饥荒中的儿童，被统治者蹂躏的受害者，成为子女累赘并被他们嫌弃的无助的老人，充满孤寂、贫困和痛苦的世界，这诸多苦难成为对人类生活理想的讽刺。我渴望减轻邪恶导致的痛苦，但是我无能为力，就连我自己也难免其苦。
这就是我的生活。我发现这样活着很有意义，倘若机会容许，我会欣然回到世上再活一次。
four freedoms 富兰克林
in the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human first is freedom of speech and expression―everywhere in the second is freedom of every person to worship god in his own way―everywhere in the third is freedom from want―which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peace time life for its inhabitants―everywhere in the forth is freedom from fear which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor--anywhere in the world.我们努力保证未来的岁月能够安定，我们期待着将来有一个建立在四项人类基本自由基础之上的世界
第一是在世界的一切地方，一切人都有言论与表达意见的自由。
第二是在世界的一切地方，一切人都有自由以自己的方式崇拜上帝。
第三是免于匮乏的自由。从世界范围的意义上说就是在经济上达到谅解，保证世界的一切地方，每一个国家的居民都能够过一种健康的和平生活。
第四是免于恐惧的自由。从世界范围的意义上说就是进行世界性的彻底裁军，使世界上的一切地方，没有任何一个国家有能力向任何邻国发起侵略行动。

青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进去压倒苟安，如此锐气，二十后生有之，六旬男子则更多见。年年有加，并非垂老；理想丢弃，方堕暮年。

studies
by francis bacon studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for 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.读书足以怡情，足以傅彩，足以长才。其怡情也，最见于独处幽居之时；其傅彩也，最见于高谈阔论之中；其长才也，最见于处世判事之际。练达之士虽能分别处理细事或一一判别枝节，然纵观统筹，全局策划，则舍好学深思者莫属。读书费时过多易惰，文采藻饰太盛则矫，全凭条文断事乃学究故态。读书补天然之不足，经验又补读书之不足，盖天生才干犹如自然花草，读书然后知如何修剪移接，而书中所示，如不以经验范之，则又大而无当。(王佐良译)

但如果只有阳光而没有阴影，只有欢乐而没有痛苦，那就不是完整的人生。就拿最幸福的人来说吧——他的幸福是一团纠结的纱线。痛苦和幸福轮番而至，让我们悲喜交集，甚至死亡都让人生更为可爱。人们在生命的严肃深刻，在悲伤与丧亲的阴影下，才最接近真实的自我。

我有一个梦想：总有一天，这个国家将站起来，实践民族信条的真谛：“我们认为这些真理是不言而喻的:人人生而平等。”
我有一个梦想：总有一天，在佐治亚州的红土山陵上，昔日奴隶的孩子和昔日奴隶主的孩子，能够情同手足地同坐一堂。

我有一个梦想：，我的四个孩子总有一天能够生活在评判他们时不看肤色而看内在品质的国家里。我今天有一个梦想。
我有一个梦想：总有一天亚拉巴马州，它的州长目前口口声声是干预和废除，能够变成这样一个局面：黑人男孩和女孩，能够和白人的男孩和女孩携手同行，如同兄弟姐妹。我
今天有这么一个梦想!

now that i can look back across the years from the so-called vantage point of experience in two world wars,travel throughout a large part of the world, and contact with many of the outstanding personalities of our time,it gives me a great deal of real reassurance each day to know that way down deep i learned some fundamental values when i was a boy in a small town in nebraska.i have found one thing to be so very trueit has been a way of life for me.i mean not only loyalty to my friends and family, but to the honest values on which our country was to me, this guidepost of loyalty of necessity means loyalty to one's own i was growing up, i rebelled against so many things, and fought against so many of the basic ideas of lifewhether i am in london, paris, rome,cairo,now york,hollwood or wahoo,nebraska-are always the same.i am grateful for those old-fashioned virtues that i learned as a boy in i hope i will have enough humility always to be thankful i was born in a country that give me this chance at life.横看成岭侧成峰
达里尔.柴纳克
我经历了两次世界大战，环游了世界大部分的地方，接触过很多当代的名人。如今，回想起这些丰富的阅历，我深感欣慰，因为它们肯定了我儿时在内布拉斯加州一个小镇上学到的那些基本价值观。
我发现有一点极为正确——儿时学到的很多美德在今天依然重要。岁月流逝，我和朋友们的想法与观点自然都有所变化，然而这不过是个人看待事物的方式改变了。就好比一个小男孩站在内布拉斯加平原上看山，山没有变，只是随着男孩的长大，他看山的角度发生了变化。
从此，为了从不同的角度看山，我总会试着围绕发现的每一座山走上整一圈。我认为，这就是诚实正直之人与愤世嫉俗者之间的区别。从不同角度看待事物，你就能更轻松地抓住生活的精髓;而当你仅从一个角度片面地观察世界时，就很可能会变得愤世嫉俗。
从我在内布拉斯加州瓦胡镇的童年时代起，直到今天，忠诚与仁爱这两种最基本的美德始终为我的生活带来莫大的慰籍。孩提时，我还学到了其他的一些基本准则，但最重要的还是这两条。
在我看来，忠诚不只是一个简单的词，而是一种生活方式。我所指的并不只是忠于家庭与朋友，还要忠于我们建国的基础，即诚实正直的价值观。我认为，忠诚这一必需的原则也意味着对我们内在自我的忠诚。
成长过程中，我曾几度叛逆，与生活中的很多基本观念背道而驰。但是，多次叛逆后，我想象着自己围绕内布拉斯加平原的那座山走了整整一圈，终于明白这些美德的确经得起时间的考验。
在逆境中给予我莫大安慰的另一个原则是仁爱。这是我们必须学习的美德。生活中的我很幸运，因为我能够乐善好施。行善者不应祈求回报，因为我们从行善中所得到的满足感便是最好的报答。
行善，必须真心诚意。否则，任何形式的给予皆是对生命本身极大的欺骗。
仁爱与忠诚深深感动着我的生命，为我生活的每一天带来极大的满足。每天临睡前，忠诚这一原则都会提醒我反省自己一天的行为，确保当日的所作所为没有为他人带来任何故意的伤害。
每天临睡前，我都会努力为自己对他人造成的伤害予以弥补。这无疑是种自私的行为，因为只有这样，每夜我才不会辗转难眠。
横看成岭侧成峰，人生亦是如此。无论是在伦敦、巴黎、罗马、开罗、纽约、好菜坞还是内布拉斯加的瓦胡镇，我所看到的美德始终不变。
感谢儿时在内布拉斯加学到的那些传统美德。我希望，我能永远对我所出生的这个国家满怀谦恭、心存感激，因为它给予了我生存的机会。

英语美文摘抄
（一）when love beckons you
when love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and when his wings enfold you, yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound when he speaks to you, believe in him, though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the even as love crowns you so shall he crucify as he is for your growth so is he for your as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to our roots and shake them in their clinging to the if, in your fear, you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor, into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your gives naught but it self and takes naught but from possesses not, nor would it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto has no other desire but to fulfill if you love and must have desires, let these be your desires:
to melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the know the pain of too much be wounded by your own understanding of love;
and to bleed willingly and wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
to rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;
to return home at eventide with gratitude;
and then to sleep with a payer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.爱召唤
当爱召唤你时，请追随她，尽管爱道路艰难险峻。当爱羽翼拥抱你时，请顺从她，尽管隐藏在其羽翼之下剑可能会伤到你。当爱向你诉说时，请相信她，尽管她声音可能打破你梦想，就如同北风吹落花园里所有花瓣。
爱会给你戴上桂冠，也会折磨你。爱会助你成长，也会给你修枝。爱会上升到枝头，抚爱你在阳光下颤动力嫩枝，也会下潜至根部，撼动力你紧抓泥土根基。
但是，如果你在恐惧之中只想寻求爱平和与快乐，那你就最好掩盖真实自我，避开爱考验，进入不分季节世界，在那里你将欢笑，但并非开怀大笑，你将哭泣，但并非尽情地哭。爱只将自己付出，也只得到自己。爱一无所有，也不会为谁所有，因为爱本身就已自足。
爱除实现自我别无他求。但是如果你爱而又不得不有所求，那就请期望：
将自己融化并像奔流溪水一般向夜晚吟唱自己优美曲调。
明过多温柔所带来苦痛。
被自己对爱理解所伤害；
并情愿快乐地悲伤。
在黎明带着轻快心醒来并感谢又一个有家日子；
在黄昏怀着感恩之心回家；
然后为内心所爱之人祈祷，吟唱赞美之歌，并带着祷告和歌声入眠。

（二）be happy!
“the days that make us happy make us wise.”----john masefield
when i first read this line by england’s poet laureate, it startled did masefield mean? without thinking about it much, i had always assumed that the opposite was his sober assurance was arresting.i could not forget y, i seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception, not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind spots caused by happiness---not mere satisfaction or contentment---often comes suddenly, like an april shower or the unfolding of a you discover what kind of wisdom has accompanied grass is greener;bird songs are sweeter;the shortcomings of your friends are more understandable and more ess is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting your spiritual are the insights of happiness limited to what is near around y, with your thoughts turned in upon your emotional woes, your vision is cut short as though by a , the wall long vista is there for the ground at your feet, the world about you----people, thoughts, emotions, pressures---are now fitted into the larger hing assumes a fairer here is the beginning of wisdom.“快乐日子使人睿智。”
——约翰·梅斯菲尔德
第一次读到英国桂冠诗人梅斯菲尔德这行诗时，我感到十分震惊。他想表达什么意思？我以前从未对此仔细考虑，总是认定这行诗反过来才正确。但他冷静而又胸有成竹表达引起我注意，令我无法忘怀。
终于，我似乎领会他意思，并意识到这行诗意义深远。快乐带来睿智存在于敏锐洞察力之间，不会因忧虑而含混迷惑，也不会因绝望和厌倦而黯然模糊，更不会因恐惧而造成盲点。
积极快乐 – 并非单纯满意或知足 – 通常不期而至，就像四月里突然下起春雨，或是花蕾突然绽放。然后，你就会发觉与快乐结伴而来究竟是何种智慧。草地更为青翠，鸟吟更为甜美，朋友缺点也变得更能让人理解，宽容。快乐就像是一副眼镜，可以矫正你精神视力。
快乐视野并不仅限于你周围事物。当你不快乐时，你思维陷入情感上悲哀，你眼界就像是被一道墙给阻隔，而当你快乐时，这道墙就会砰然倒塌。
你眼界变得更为宽广。你脚下大地，你身边世界，包括人，思想，情感和压力，现在都融入更为广阔景象之中，其间每件事物 比例都更加合理。而这就是睿智起始。

尽管有很多事让人忧虑，但相比而言，值得感激事要多得多。尽管生命美好有时被蒙上阴影，但它却永远不会被埋没。
相对于每一个无谓破坏行为而言，都有更多数以千计更为微小，包含着爱，友善和同情举动静静地上演着。相对于每一个试图伤害他人人而言，都有更多人致力于帮助他人，治愈他人创伤。
生命美好不能否认。
在最为壮观前景和最为琐碎细节中，()请仔细观察，因为美好事物总是散发着耀眼光芒闪亮登场。
生命美好没有界限。每一次相遇都会使这美好变得越发丰富。你经历得越多，越能欣赏生命美好，生命中美好就会变得越多。

无数次地，当你担心这美好已经远离之时，你会发现生命美好其实只与你相隔须臾。它就在下一角落，存在于每个时刻之间，等着给你惊喜。

尽管总是有问题让你去关注，冲突也似乎愈演愈烈，但生命美好却总是静静地，平和地，带着比以往更强意志和更多价值变得更加强大。
