Seek not proud riches, but such as thou mayest get justly, use soberly, distribute cheerfully, and leave contentedly. 

    不要尋求令人稱羨的財(cái)富，應(yīng)當(dāng)追求這樣的境界：對財(cái)富正當(dāng)?shù)孬@取，清醒地使用，愉快地施舍并能知足地放棄。 

    It is impossible to love and be wise.  

    要戀愛而又要理智是不可能的。

    This passion hath his floods, in very times of weakness; which are great prosperity, and great adversity; though this latter hath been less observed: both which times kindle love, and make it more fervent, and therefore show it to be the child of folly    

    當(dāng)人心最軟弱的時(shí)候，愛情最容易入侵，那就是當(dāng)人得意春風(fēng)，忘乎所以和處境窘困孤獨(dú)凄零的時(shí)候，雖然后者未必能得到愛情。人在這樣的時(shí)候最急于跳入愛情的火焰中由此可見，“愛情”實(shí)在是“愚蠢”的兒子。

    In beauty, that of favor, is more than that of color; and that of decent and gracious motion, more than that of favor 

    形體之美要勝于顏色之美，而優(yōu)雅行為之美又勝于形體之美

    There is no man that imparteth his joys to his friends, but that he joyeth the more; and no man that imparteth is griefs to his friends, but he grieveth the less.   

    與友分享歡樂者,無不歡樂倍增;與友分擔(dān)哀傷者,無不哀傷減半 

    Beauty is as summer fruits, which are easy to corrupt, and cannot last; and for the most part it makes a dissolute youth, and an age a little out of countenance     

    美猶如盛夏的水果，是容易腐爛而難保持的，世上有許多美人，她們有過放蕩的青春，卻迎受著愧悔的晚年。

    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.         

    天生的能力好像天然生成的植物，必須通過學(xué)習(xí)加以修整；然而學(xué)習(xí)本身如若不由實(shí)踐去約束，必然方向紛雜而漫無目的。 

    Virtue is like a rich stone, best plain set  

    美德好比寶石，在樸素背景的襯托下反而更華麗。

    Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man.  

    閱讀使人充實(shí)，交談使人機(jī)智，寫作使人精確。

    Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtitle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend   

    讀史使人明智，讀詩使人靈秀，數(shù)學(xué)使人周密，科學(xué)使人深刻，倫理學(xué)使人莊重，邏輯修辭之學(xué)使人善辯：凡有所學(xué)，皆成性格

    Young men are fitter to invent than to judge, fitter for execution than for counsel, fitter for new projects than for settled business

    年輕人適合發(fā)明甚于評價(jià)，適合執(zhí)行而甚于決策；適合從事新項(xiàng)目甚于固定職業(yè)
