王佐良译本对培根《谈读书》中思想性与艺术性的还原与再造 引言： 作为文艺复兴时期重要的散文家和哲学家，弗朗斯科培根在英国文学史上占有重要位置。在他的一系列人生论，如论高位，论美等散文随笔以其独到的视角，流畅的语言为大家熟知。而其中的《谈读书》（《Of studies》）则在学生以及各类学者中得到了广泛共鸣，也深受欢迎。因此选择这篇美文，和最受推崇的王佐良版本翻译，对英语散文的中文翻译进行进一步剖析。 原文： 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.
