经典英文文章摘录初中

经典美文与 英语写作 是两项相对独立但又相互依赖、相辅相成的关系,这一结论对写作教学有很大启发。下面是我带来的初中英语美文摘抄，欢迎阅读!初中英语美文摘抄精选 Different from the Start 一开始就与众不同 Five-year-old Albert Einstein stared at his hand as if it held magic. Cupped in his palm was a small，round instrument with a glass cover and a jiggling needle. Albert's father called it a compass. Albert called it a mystery. No matter how he moved the compass, the needle always pointed to the north. Quietly Hermann Einstein watched his son. Albert was a chubby little boy with pale, round cheeks and thick, black hair that was usually messy. His bright brown eyes were wide with discovery. 五岁的阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦盯着他的手，仿佛手上掌控着魔法。他的掌心托着一个小小的、圆形的仪器，仪器带有一个玻璃罩和一根会摆动的针。阿尔伯特的父亲称它为指南针，阿尔伯特称它是一个谜。不管他如何移动罗盘，指针总是指向北方。赫尔曼·爱因斯坦静静地注视着他的儿子。阿尔伯特是一个胖乎乎的小男孩，白白的脸颊圆乎乎肉嘟嘟的，黑色的头发常常乱成一团。看到这一发现，他明亮的棕色眼睛睁得大大的。 Something was in the room with him, Albert realized--something he couldn't see or feel, but that acted on the compass just the same. Spellbound, Albert listened to his father explain magnetism, the strange force that made the compass needle point north. But nothing his father said made the invisible power seem less mysterious or wonderful. To many children the compass would have been just another toy. To Albert the compass was a miracle he would never forget. 阿尔伯特意识到，房间里有什么东西在他的身边--他无法看到或感觉到的某种东西，同时也对指南针产生着作用。阿尔伯特入迷地听父亲解释磁力，一股使罗盘的指针指向北方的奇特的力量。但是，不管父亲说什么，也丝毫没有减少这股无形力量的神秘感和奇妙感。对许多孩子来说，指南针本来只是一个玩具，对阿尔伯特来说，指南针却是一个他永远不会忘记的奇迹。 But then Albert had always been different from other children. Born March 14，1879，in Ulm, Germany, Albert hadn't been looked like other babies. As she cradled her new son in her arms, Pauline Einstein thought the back of his head looked strange. Other babies didn't have such large, pointed skulls. Was something wrong with Albert? Although the doctor told Pauline everything was fine, several weeks passed before the shape of Albert's head began to look right to her. 然而，阿尔伯特总是不同于其他孩子。1879年3月14日他出生在德国的乌尔姆，出生时，他看上去就不像其他婴儿。当母亲波林·爱因斯坦抚慰着怀抱里的这个新生儿时，她觉得他的后脑勺看起来怪怪的，其他婴儿没有那么突出的大头骨。阿尔伯特有什么问题吗?虽然医生告诉波林一切安好，但几个星期之后她才觉得阿尔伯特的头形正常。 When Albert was one, his family moved to Munich，where his sister, Maja, was born a year later. Looking down at the tiny sleeping bundle, Albert was puzzled. Where were the baby's wheels? The disappointed two year old wanted to know. Albert had expected a baby sister to be something like a toy, and most of his toys had wheels. 阿尔伯特一岁时，全家搬到了慕尼黑，一年后妹妹玛雅出生了。看着襁褓中熟睡的小婴儿，阿尔伯特感到疑惑不解。婴儿的轮子在哪里呢?这个失望的两岁的孩子很想知道。阿尔伯特以为小妹妹应该是像玩具一样的东西，并且他的大部分玩具都是有轮子的。 Albert's parents were amused by his confusion. But any response at all would have delighted them. At an age when many children have lots to say, Albert seemed strangely backward. Hermann and Pauline wondered why he was so late in talking. Was their son developing normally? As Albert grew older, he continued to have trouble putting his thoughts into words Even when he was nine years old, he spoke slowly, if he decided to say anything at all. Pauline and Hermann didn't know what to think. 阿尔伯特的父母被他充满疑惑的样子逗笑了，但孩子的可反应都令他们感到快乐。在这个年龄，许多孩子都能讲不少话了，阿尔伯特在语言方面却似乎异常落后。赫尔曼和波林不知道为什么他说话这么晚。他们的儿子生长发育正常吗?阿尔伯特更大一些的时候，仍然难以用文字表述自己的思想。甚至在他九岁时，如果他决定说些什么，速度还是很慢。波林和赫尔曼不知道该如何看待。 But Albert was a good listener and a good thinker. Sometimes when he went hiking with his parents and Maja, he thought about his father's compass and what it had revealed to him. The clear, open meadows were filled with more than the wind or the scent of flowers. They were also filled with magnetism. The very thought of it quickened Albert's pulse. 但是，阿尔伯特非常善于倾听和思考。有时当他和父母还有妹妹玛雅一起去远足时，他会想到父亲的指南针，思考它向他揭示的秘密。清新开阔的草地不仅充满着风声或花的香味，也充满着磁力，一想到这点阿尔伯特就脉搏加速了。 初中英语美文摘抄阅读 The Old Man and the Sea老人与海 老人与海 The sun rose thinly from the sea and the old man could see the other boats, low on the water and well in toward the shore, spread out across the current. Then the sun was brighter and the glare came on the water and then, as it rose clear, the flat sea sent it back at his eyes so that it hurt sharply and he rowed without looking into it. He looked down into the water and watched the lines that went straight down into the dark of the water. He kept them straighter than anyone did, so that at each level in the darkness of the stream there would be a bait waiting exactly where he wished it to be for any fish that swam there. Others let them drift with the current and sometimes they were at sixty fathoms when the fishermen thought they were at a hundred. 淡淡的太阳从海上升起，老人看见其他船只低低地挨着水面，朝海岸漂去，向海浪垂直的方向分散开。接着，太阳更明亮了，刺眼的强光照在水面上。当太阳从地平线上完全升起，平坦的海面把阳光反射到他眼睛里，使他的眼睛剧烈地刺痛，所以他划着船，不朝太阳看。他俯视水中，注视着那几根一直垂到漆黑的深水里的钓索。他把钓索垂得比任何人更直，这样，在黑暗的湾流深处的几个不同的深度，都会有一个鱼饵刚好在他所指望的地方等待着游动的鱼来觅食。别的渔夫让钓索顺水漂流，有时钓索在六十英寻的深处，他们却自以为在一百英寻的深处呢。 But, he thought, I keep them with precision. Only I have no luck any more. But who knows? Maybe today. Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready. 但是，他想，我总是把它们放在精确的地方。只是我没有运气，可谁知道呢?也许今天就有好运。每天都是新的一天。走运当然更好，但我宁愿做得精确。那么运气来的时候，你就准备好了。 The sun was two hours higher now and it did not hurt his eyes so much to look into the east. There were only three boats in sight now and they showed very low and far inshore. 两个小时过去了，太阳升得更高了，朝东望去，眼睛没有刺痛得那么厉害。现在只能看见三艘船，它们显得很低，靠近海岸。 All my life the early sun has hurt my eyes, he thought. Yet they are still good. In the evening I can look straight into it without getting the blackness. It has more force in the evening too. But in the morning it is painful. 这一辈子，初升的太阳总是刺痛我的眼睛，他心想。然而，眼睛仍然是好好的。傍晚时分，我能直视它，不会有眼前发黑的感觉。阳光在傍晚要更强烈些，不过在早上它叫人感到痛苦。 Just then he saw a man-of-war bird with his long black wings circling in the sky ahead of him. He made a quick drop, slanting down on his back-swept wings, and then circled again. 就在这时，他看见一只军舰鸟，有着黑色的长翅膀，在他前方的天空中盘旋。它斜着后掠的双翅迅速俯冲下来，然后又盘旋起来。 "He's got something," the old man said aloud. "He's not just looking." "他逮到东西了，"老人大声说，"他不只是看看。" He rowed slowly and steadily toward where the bird was circling. He did not hurry and he kept his lines straight up and down. But he crowded the current a little so that he was still fishing correctly though faster than he would have fished if he was not trying to use the bird. 他缓慢而坚定地划向鸟儿盘旋的地方。他并不匆忙，使钓索保持着上下垂直的位置。不过他朝海流靠近了一点，这样他依然在用正确的方式 捕鱼 ，尽管他的速度要比不打算利用鸟儿来引路时来得快。 The bird went higher in the air and circled again, his wings motionless. Then he dove suddenly and the old man saw flying fish spurt out of the water and sail desperately over the surface. 鸟儿在空中飞得更高了，再次盘旋起来，翅膀纹丝不动。然后它猛然俯冲下来，老人看见飞鱼跃出水面，拼命地在海面上掠过。 "Dolphin," the old man said aloud. "Big dolphin." "海豚，"老人大声说道' "大海豚。" He shipped his oars and brought a small line from under the bow. It had a wire leader and a medium-sized hook and he baited it with one of the sardines. He let it go over the side and then made it fast to a ring bolt in the stern. Then he baited another line and left it coiled in the shade of the bow. He went back to rowing and to watching the long-winged black bird who was working, now, low over the water. 他取下桨，从船头下面拿出一根细钓丝。钓丝上系着铁丝导线和一只中号钓钩，他把一条沙丁鱼挂在上面，顺着船舷放下水，然后将丝紧紧地系在船尾一只带环螺栓上。接着他在另一根线上安上鱼饵，把它盘绕着搁置在船头的阴影里。他又划起船，看着长翅黑鸟，它此刻正在水面上低飞。 As he watched the bird dipped again slanting his wings for the dive and then swinging them wildly and ineffectually as he followed the flying fish. The old man could see the slight bulge in the water that the big dolphin raised as they followed the escaping fish. The dolphin were cutting through the water below the flight of the fish and would be in the water, driving at speed, when the fish dropped. It is a big school of dolphin, he thought. They are widespread and the flying fish have little chance. The bird has no chance. The flying fish are too big for him and they go too fast. 他正看着，鸟儿又斜起翅膀准备俯冲，它向下冲来，然后又猛烈地扇动着双翼，追踪飞鱼，但是没有成效。老人看见大海豚在追赶飞鱼时海面微微隆起的水浪。海豚在飞掠的鱼下面破水而行，等鱼一落下，海豚就会飞速潜人水中。这群海豚真大呀!他想。它们分散开去，飞鱼很少有机会逃脱。军舰鸟也没有机会，飞鱼对它来说太大了，并且它们速度太快。 He watched the flying fish burst out again and again and the ineffectual movements of the bird. That school has gotten away from me, he thought. They are moving out too fast and too far. But perhaps I will pick up a stray and perhaps my big fish is around them. My big fish must be somewhere. 他看着飞鱼一次次地跃出水面，鸟儿的行为也一无所获。那群海豚要远离我了，他想着。它们动作太快，游得太远。但是，也许我会逮住一条掉队的，也许我的大鱼就在它们周围。我的大鱼一定在某个地方。 初中英语美文摘抄学习 无限风光在险峰 Risk is endemic in human affairs. To say to someone "I love you" or to say in church "I believe"can never be risk-free undertakings. They are to make investments in things that are not fullyunder one's control. The other person may not love you back. The God in whom you stakeyour trust may turn out not to exist. The French philosopher Pascal famously attempted ametaphysical hedge with regards to the existence of God. He argued that if believers are rightabout God's existence, then they have gained everything. But if they are wrong about it, theyhave lost nothing. It's an attempt to eliminate risk from believing. But, like the risk avoidancestrategies of investment banks, where you invest your heart and your soul can never be riskfree. All commitment, whether it be financial, emotional or religious, is subject to thepossibility of failure. That's life. And indeed it may well be that the attempt to eliminate riskfrom life can, in extreme forms, become an attempt to eliminate life itself. 冒险几乎是人群中的常见病。对别人说“我爱你”或者在教堂里说“我相信”其实一直都是有风险的。他们所作的承诺并不完全由自己掌控。对方也许不爱你。你相信的上帝有可能根本就不存在。法国哲学家Pascal曾就上帝的存在与否尝试过一个形而上的推敲。如果信众对于上帝存在的认识是正确的，那么他们就得到了一切，如果不对，那他们也毫无损失。这是对消弭信仰风险的尝试。但是，就像投行规避风险的策略一样，这个你投入一切的地方绝不是个全无风险的地方。所有承诺，不管是资金方面的，感情方面或是宗教方面的，都有失败的可能性。这就是生活。在某些极端情况下，想从生活中消除风险就等于消除生活本身。

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

I f you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don’t give away to hating,

And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream and not make dreams your master;

If you can think and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and toss

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will, which says to them: “hold on!”

If you can talk with crows and keep your virtue,

Or walk with kings nor lose the common touch;

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds’worth of distance run

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And which is more you’ll be a Man, my son!

你仍能保持头脑清醒;

如果所有人都怀疑你，

你仍能坚信自己，让所有的怀疑动摇;

如果你要等待，不要因此厌烦，

为人所，不要因此人，

如果你遇到骄傲和挫折

把两者当看待;

如果你能忍受你曾讲过的事实

被恶棍扭曲，用于蒙傻子，

或者，看着你用毕生去看护的东西被破坏，

俯下身去，用破旧的工具把它修补;

如果你在赢得无数桂冠之后，

然后孤注一掷再博一次，

失败过后，东山再起，

不要抱怨你的失败;

如果你能迫使自己，

在别人走后，长久的坚守阵地，

在你心中已空荡荡无一物，

只有意志告诉你“坚持!”;

如果你与人交谈，能保持风度，

办王同行，能保持距离;

如果仇敌和好友都不害你;

如果所有人都指望你。却无人全心全意;

如果你花六十秒进行段程跑，

填满那不可饶恕的一分钟

你就可以拥有一个世界，

这个世界的一切都是你的，

更重要的是，孩子，你是个顶天立地的人。

个性的表露

A most curious and useful thing to realize is that one never knows the impression one is creating on otherpeople. One may often guess pretty accurately whether it is good, bad, or indifferent — some people render it unnecessary for one to guess, they practically inform one — but that is not what I mean. I mean muchmore than that. I mean that one has one's self no mental picture corresponding to the mental picture whichone's personality leaves in the minds of one's friends. Has it ever struck you that there is a mysterious individual going around, walking the streets, calling at houses for tea, chatting, laughing, grumbling, arguing, and that all your friends know him and have long since added him up and come to a definite conclusion about him — without saying more than a chance, cautious word to you; and that that person is you? Supposing that you came into a drawing room where you were having tea, do you think you would recognize yourself as an individuality? I think not. You would be apt to say to yourself as guests do when disturbed in drawing rooms by other guests: “Who's this chap? See ms rather queer. I hope he won't be a bore.” And yourfirst telling would be slightly hostile. Why, even when you meet yourself in an unsuspected mirror in the very clothes that you have put on that very day and that you know by heart, you are almost always shocked by the realization that you are you. And now and then, when you have gone to the glass to arrange your hair in the full sobriety of early morning, have you not looked on an absolute stranger, and has not that stranger piqued your curiosity? And if it is thus with precise external details of form, colour, and movement, what may it not be with the vague complex effect of the mental and moral individuality?

A man honestly tries to make a good impression. What is the result? The result merely is that his friends,in the privacy of their minds, set him down as a man who tries to make a good impression. If much depends on the result of a sing le interview, or a couple of interviews, a man may conceivably force another to accept an impression of himself which he would like to convey. But if the receiver of the impression is to have time at his disposal, then the giver of the impression may just as well sit down and put his hands in his pockets, for nothing that he can do will modify or influence in any way the impression that he will ultimately give. The real impress is, in the end, given unconsciously, not consciously; and further, it is received unconsciously, not consciously. It depends partly on both persons. And it is immutably fixed beforehand. There can be no final deception…

一件认识起来很奇异也很受益的事是，一个人常常不清楚别人对他的印象是什么。是好呢，是坏呢，还是不好不坏，这些倒是能够十分准确地猜测出来——有些人甚至没有必要让你去猜测，他们差不多就讲给你听了——但是我想要说的不是这个。我想要说的远不止这个。我想要说的是，一个人头脑中对自己的印象和他本人在他朋友们头脑中的印象，往往很不一致。你曾经想到这样的事吗?——世上有那么一个诡异的人，到处跑来跑去，上街访友，又说又笑，口出怨言，大发议论，他的朋友都对他很熟悉，对他早已知根知底，对他的看法早有定论——但除了偶尔且谨慎的只言片语外，平时却很少对你透露。而那个人就是你自己。比如，你走进一家客厅去喝茶，你敢说你便能认得这个人就是你自己吗?我看不一定。很可能，你也会像客厅里的客人那样，当你难以忍受其他客人的骚扰时心里就盘算说：“这是哪个家伙，真是怪异。但愿他少讨人嫌。”你的第一个反应就是略带敌意。甚至就连你突然在一面镜子前面遇到了你自己，穿的衣服也正是你心里记得很清楚的那天的服装，怎么样，你还是会因为认出了你是你这件事而感到吃惊。还有当你有时到镜子前去整理头发时，尽管是在最清醒的大清早时刻，你不是也好像瞥见一个完全陌生的人吗?而且这陌生人还让你颇为好奇呢。如果说连形式颜色动作这类外观准确的细节都是这样，那么对于像心智和道德这种不易把握的复杂效果又将怎样呢?

有人真心实意地去努力留下一个好印象。但结果怎样呢，不过是被他的朋友们在内心深处认为他是一个刻意给人留下好印象的人。如果一切只凭着单独会一次面或见几次面，——这个人倒很能迫使另一个人接受他本人希望造成的某种印象。但是如果接受印象的人有足够的时间来自由支配，那么印象的给予者就干脆束手静坐了，因为他的所有招数都丝毫改变不了或影响不了他最终所造成的印象。真正的印象是在结尾，是无意而不是刻意造成的。同时，它也是无意而不是刻意接受的。它的形成要靠双方，而且是事先就已经确定的，最终的欺是不可能的……

She Walks in Beautyby Lord Byron

《她在美中徜徉》，拜伦

She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

她在美中徜徉，仿佛夜晚皎洁无云，繁星漫天;

And all that's best of dark and bright meet in her aspect and her eyes, thus mellowed to that tender light which heaven to gaudy day denies.

正如绝佳的暗与亮融汇于外貌与眼眸;醇化为如此柔和的光 -俗丽的白昼得不到的恩泽。

One shade the more, one ray the less, had half impaired the nameless grace which waves in every raven tress, or softly lightens o'er her face; where thoughts serenely sweet express how pure, how dear their dwelling place.

多一道阴影，少一缕光芒，都有损这难以言表的优雅。美飘扬在她丝丝乌发中，或微微闪亮于她的面庞。愉悦的思想在那里颂扬其来处何等纯净可人。

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, so soft, so calm, yet eloquent;

那脸颊和眉宇那么温柔，那么平静，而且意味深长。

The smiles that win, the tints that glow, but tell of days in goodness spent;

折服人心的微笑，红润的色彩，诉说着度过的美好时光。

A mind at peace with all below, a heart whose love is innocent!

心态平和，与世无争，爱心永远纯真。

语言的积累对于 学习英语 十分重要。而如何加强对语言的积累呢?指导学生摘抄是一种行之有效的好 方法 。下面是我整理的初中英语美文，欢迎阅读! 初中英语美文篇一 我们在旅途中 Wherever you are, and whoever you may be, there is one thing in which you and I are just alike at this monment, and in all the moments of our existence. We are not at rest, we are on a journey. Our life is a movement, a tendency, a steady, ceaseless progress towards an unseen goal. 不论你处在什么地方，也不论你是什么人，不管是在此时此刻，还是在我们生命中的任何一个瞬间，有一件事对你我来说是恰巧相同的，我们不是在休息，我们是在一次旅途中，我们的生活是一种运动，一种趋势，是向一个看不见的目标稳定而不停地进步。 We are gaining something, or losing something, or losing something, everyday. Even when our position and our character seem to remain precisely the same, they are changing. For the mereadvance of time is a change. It is not the same thing to have a bare field in January and in July. The season makes the difference. The limitations that are childlike in the child are childish in the man. 每一天，我们都会赢得某些东西，或者会失去某些东西。 甚至当我们的位置和我们的性格看起来跟以前完全相似时，它们事实上仍然在变化着。因为仅仅是时间的前进就是一种变化。对于一块荒地来说，在1月和7月是不同的，季节会制造差异。能力上的缺陷对于孩子来说是一种可爱的品质，但对于大人来说就是一种幼稚的表现。 Everything that we do is a step in one direction or another. Even the failure to do something is in itself a deed. it sets us forward or backward. the action of the negative pole of a magnetic needle is just as real as the action of the positive pole. To decline is to accept--the other alternative. 我们做的每一件事都是朝着一个或另一个方向前进一步。 甚至 没有做任何事情 这件事本身也是一种行为，它让我们前进或后退，一根刺针阴极的作用和阳极的作用都是一样真实的，拒绝也是一种接受--这些都是二中择一的选择。 Are you nearer to your port today than you were yesterday? yes, you must be a little nearer to some port or other for since your ship was first launched upon the sea of life, you have never been still for a single monment, the sea is too deep, you could not find an anchorage if you would, there can be no pause until you come into port. 你今天比昨天更接近你的港口了吗?是的--你必须接近某一个港口或者其他港口。自从你第一次被抛人生活之海，你的船连一分钟都没有静止过，海是如此之深，你也不可能找到一个抛锚的地方，于是你不可能停下来，知道你到达自己的港口。 初中英语美文篇二 London, the capital of British is a famous city with a long history and colorful cultures. There are some great wonders in London, such as Buckingham Palace, the British Museum, Big Ben, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Stonehenge, and so on. They are so wonderful and great. 伦敦是英国的首都，是一个具有悠久的历史和丰富多彩 文化 的著名的城市。伦敦有许多名胜古迹，如白金汉宫，大英博物馆，大本钟，伦敦桥，伦敦塔，巨石阵等等。他们是如此的奇妙和伟大。 Buckingham Palace is the place where the Queen lives in.

There is a great deal of objects from all over the world in it. 大英博物馆是一座 收藏 着人类历史和文化的博物馆。在里面有大量来自世界各地的物品。 Big Ben is one of the most famous clocks in the world. It's the symbol of London. It's 150 years old and it still works well. 大本钟是世界上最著名的钟。它是伦敦的象征。它已经150岁了，却仍然能正常工作。 Tower Bridge is a famous bridge over the River Thames in London. It's close to the tower of London. Every day thousands of people use it to cross the river. 塔桥是横跨伦敦泰晤士河的一座著名的桥。它靠近伦敦塔。每天有成千上万的人用它来过河。 The Tower of London was once a prison for kings, queens and some important people, many of whom were executed here. But now, it's just a historical site. Every day, many people come here and take pictures of it. 伦敦塔曾是国王，皇后，一些重要的人的监狱，他们中的很多人都是在这里处决。但是现在，它只是一个历史古迹。每天有很多人来这里拍照。 Stonehenge dates back to about five thousand years ago. The usage of it still remains a mystery. 巨石阵的历史可以追溯到大约五千年前。它的使用仍然是一个谜。 What interesting sites in London. If I have a chance to go abroad, I'll travel to that city. I am sure I will be joyous there. 在伦敦有什么名胜古迹。如果我有机会 出国 ，我会去那个城市。我相信在那里我会玩的很开心的。 初中英语美文篇三 Of Studies 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. 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 proyning, by study; and studies themselves, do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation. Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, 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, but not curiously; 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 bothers; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books, else distilled books are like common distilled waters, flashy things. Reading make a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. And therefore, if a man write little, he had need have a great memory; if he confer little, he had need have a present wit: and if he read little, he had need have much cunning, to seem to know, that he doth not. Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtitle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend. 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.
