OF STUDIES
Francis Bacon

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 and execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best form those that are learned.　

To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgement wholly by their rules, is the humour of a scholar.

They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need proyning (pruning) 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 by others; 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 maketh 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 subtile; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend.　Abeunt studia in morse. (Studeis go to make up a man’s character. '?-be-"unt-'stü-dE-"?-"in-'mO-"rAs)

Nay there is no stand or impediment in the wit, but may be wrought out by fit studies: like as diseases of the body may have appropriate exercises. Bowling is good for the stone and reins; shooting for the lungs and breast; gentle walking for the stomach ; riding for the head; and the like.　

So if a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics; for in demonstrations, if his wit be called away never so little, he must begin again.　If his wit be not apt to distinguish or find differences, let him study the schoolmen; for they are cymini sectores. (Hair-splitters sim-mini sek-torr-es)　If he be not apt to beat over matters, and to call up one thing to prove and illustrate another, let him study the lawyers' cases.　So every defect of the mind may have a special receipt.

论读书
培根

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。

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读者，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，有只需读其部分者，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。

读书使人充实，讨论使人机智，笔记使人准确。因此不常做笔记者须记忆力特强，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；凡有所学，皆成性格。

人之才智但有滞碍，无不可读适当之书使之顺畅，一如身体百病，皆可借相宜之运动除之。滚球利睾肾，射箭利胸肺，慢步利肠胃，骑术利头脑，诸如此类。如智力不集中，可令读数学，盖演题需全神贯注，稍有分散即须重演；如不能辩异，可令读经院哲学，盖是辈皆吹毛求疵之人；如不善求同，不善以一物阐证另一物，可令读律师之案卷。如此头脑中凡有缺陷，皆有特效可医。--王佐良　译

这是著名的of studies,希望对你有帮助！

Rome was not built in a day,No pains,no gains.There're so many various things like these sayings.All these show us that the success couldn't be gained without any efforts.        As we know,the success comes after the efforts and the time.Firstly,to accomplish one thing,we must learn the aims.Secondly,we should draw up the relevant plan to realize our aim.Thirdly,we must try hard to accomplish the plan.It's undeniable that we may meet many problems which may not be thought at the beginning,such as the new conditions and the sudden changes in the process.At last,we may find to do one thing is more difficult than to think it.We must defeat ourselves-the main and the strongest enemy of ours.To some extent,it's the decisive factor that the length of the time we could persist in.        In spite of the difficulties,we must gain our aims for we may enjoy the pleasur of success.The joy and happiness couldn't be replaced by the other things.          Rome Was Not Built in a Day,are you ready to welcome the new challenges in the future-?
罗马不是一天建立的，不付出就没有收获，世界上有很多像这样的谚语，这些谚语都是告诉我们不努力就不会有回报。
我们都知道，成功要经得起努力和时间的考验。首先要完成一件事，我们应该知道我们的目标，其次，我们应制定与其相关的计划来实现我们的目标，第三我们应尽我们最大的努力来完成他。不可否认我们可能在此过程遇到很多我们最初没想到的问题，例如：突发的状况和计划的改变。我们会发现要完成一件事情要比我们想象的难。我们必须击败我们最大的敌人就是我们自己。要完成一件事的决定性因素一定程度上是我们愿意在它身上所付出的时间。
此过程汇中尽管有困难，但是也有付出过程所带来的乐趣。这种欢乐和幸福是不能够被其他事情而代替的。
罗马不是一天建立的，你准备好迎接未来对你的挑战了吗？

全是手输入的 ，楼主感觉好 ，就顶一下吧 !

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
青春不是生命的一个阶段,它是一种精神状态;它不是红润的面颊,红唇和冰肌柔骨,它是一种意愿、最优的创造力和充满活力的情感;它是生命深泉的新鲜。
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
青春是一种气质:勇猛果敢而不是怯懦退缩,渴望冒险而不是贪图安逸。如此锐气,一个60岁的老者比一个20岁的青年更多。人老不仅仅是岁月流逝所致年之久。年岁有加,并非垂老,理想丢弃,方堕暮年。
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
岁月悠悠,衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却,颓唐必至灵魂。忧虑、恐惧、缺乏自信,会扭曲人的灵魂,并将青春化为灰烬。
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.
无论是60岁还是16岁,你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心,永不熄灭的孩提奇迹之诱惑的欲望和对未来的什么享受生活带来的乐趣。中心的心中,都有一座无线电台,它能在多长时间里接收到人间万物传递来的美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的电波永不消失,人,你就会年轻多长时间。
When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.
一旦天线倒塌,锐气便被冰雪覆盖,玩世不恭的霜雪和悲观厌世的冰层,那么即使你已经年老了,已垂垂老矣;然则只要竖起天线,捕捉乐观的信号,你就有希望在80嵗死去,也仍然年轻。

保持一颗年轻的心 （196个字）

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity , of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease ,This often exits in a man of 60more than a boy of 20.Nobody grows merely by a number of years , we grow old by deserting our idea .
青春意味着战胜懦弱的那股大丈夫气慨和摈弃安逸的那种冒险精神。往往一个60岁的老者比一个20岁的青年更多一点这种劲头。人老不仅仅是岁月流逝所致，更主要的是懒惰、的不思进取的结果。

tl Whether 60 or 16 , there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders , the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living .In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station, so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer , courage and power from the infinite ,so long as you are young .
无论是60岁还是16岁，你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心，永不熄灭的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事业成功的欢乐与热情，在你我的心底，有一座无线电台；它能在多长时间里接收到人间万物传递来的美好、的希望、的欢乐、的鼓舞和力量信息，你就会年轻多长时间。

An individual human existence should be like a river-small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.
一个人的生命应当象河流，开始是涓涓细流，受两岸的限制而十分狭窄，尔后奔腾咆哮，翻过危岩，飞越瀑布，河面渐渐开阔，河岸也随之向两边隐去，最后水流平缓，森森无际，汇入大海之中，个人就这样毫无痛苦地消失了。

Years may wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . Worry, fear , self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .
--From by Samuel Erman
光阴可以在颜面上留下印记，而热情之火的熄灭则在心灵上刻下皱纹。遗悟、的恐惧、的缺乏自信、的会扭曲人的灵魂，并将青春化为灰烬。

望采纳，祝开心~
