晨读英语美文100篇：of studies
studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. theirchief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, isin discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment, and disposition ofbusiness. for expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars,one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling ofaffairs, come best, from those that are learned.
to spend too much timein 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. theyperfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilitiesare like natural plants, that need proyning, by study; and studiesthemselves, do give forth directions too much at large, except they bebounded in by experience.
crafty men contemn studies, ****** men admirethem, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but thatis a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation. read notto contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor tofind talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. some books are to betasted, 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, butnot curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence andattention.
some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made ofthem bothers; but that would be only in the less important arguments,and the meaner sort of books, else distilled books are like commondistilled waters, flashy things.
reading make a full man; conference a ready man; and writing anexact man. and therefore, if a man write little, he had need h**e agreat memory; if he confer little, he had need h**e a present wit: andif he read little, he had need h**e much cunning, to seem to know, thathe doth not.
histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematicssubtitle; natural philosophy deep; moral gr**e; logic and rhetoric ableto contend.
参考译文：读书足以怡情，足以博彩，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。
有一技之长者鄙读书，无知者羡读书，唯明智之士用读书，然书并不以用处告人，用书之智不在书中，而在书外，全凭观察得之。读书时不可存心诘难作者，不可尽信书上所言，亦不可只为寻章摘句，而应推敲细思。书有可浅尝者，有可吞食者，少数则须咀嚼消化。
换言之，有只须读其部分者，有只须大体涉猎者，少数则须全读，读时须全神贯注，孜孜不倦。书亦可请人代读，取其所作摘要，但只限题材较次或价值不高者，否则书经提炼犹如水经蒸馏、淡而无味矣。
读书使人充实，讨论使人机智，笔记使人准确。因此不常作笔记者须记忆特强，不常讨论者须天生聪颖，不常读书者须欺世有术，始能无知而显有知。读史使人明智，读诗使人灵秀，数学使人周密，科学使人深刻，伦理学使人庄重，逻辑修辞之学使人善辩。
