2、 court.Francis Bacon“Of Studies”To be recited Compared with 劝学篇劝学篇 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 different expert man ca

4、 a scholar.They perfect nature and are perfected by experience,for nature abilities are like nature plants,that need to be pruning by study,and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large.Of Studies 君子曰：学不可以已。青，取之于蓝，而青于蓝；冰，水为之，而寒于水。木直中绳，揉以为轮，其曲中规，虽有槁暴，不复挺者，輮使之然也。故木受绳则直，金就砾则利。君子博学而日

5、参省乎己，则知明而行无过矣。吾尝终日而思矣，不如须臾之所学也。吾尝跂而望矣，不如登高之博见也。登高而招，臂非加长也，而见者远。顺风而呼，声非加疾也，而闻者彰。假舆 马者，非利足也，而致千里。假舟辑者，非能水也，而绝江河。君子生非异也，善假于物也。积土成山，风雨兴焉。积水成渊，蛟龙生焉。积善成德，而神明自得，圣心备焉。故不积跬步，无以至千里；不积小流，无以成江海。骐骥一跃，不能十步；驽马十驾，功在不舍。锲而舍之，朽木不折；锲而不舍，金石可镂。蚓无爪牙之利,筋骨之强，上食埃土，下饮黄泉，用心一也。蟹六跪而二螯，非蛇蟺之穴无可寄托者，用心躁也。荀子劝学 Thomas More(1478-1535)H

28、，是天上虹 揉碎在浮藻间，沉淀着彩虹似的梦。寻梦？撑一支长篙，向青草更青处漫溯，满载一船星辉，在星辉斑斓里放歌 但我不能放歌，悄悄是别离的笙箫；夏虫也为我沉默，沉默是今晚的康桥！悄悄的我走了，正如我悄悄的来；我挥一挥衣袖，不带走一片云彩。徐志摩 徐志摩是20世纪初中国杰出的诗人、散文家,是一个值得敬佩和怀念的名字。他不仅在五四新文学史上是“新月社”的巨挚、“新月诗派”的祭酒,在新文学创作上所发射的光芒,如日中天,久而不晦;而且他风流、浪漫的人生,同样是那样传奇瑰丽,又富有诗情画意,可与中国的李商隐、温庭绚、杜牧,英国的拜伦、雪莱、济慈相媲美。悲喜交织的爱情,放荡不羁的生活,外圆内方的交际,惊世

29、骇俗的创作,绝顶天才的智慧,卑己自牧的性格,浪迹天涯的漫游,构成了徐志摩的卓尔不群,更为中国文坛平添了不少佳话。徐志摩的一生,是浪漫不羁的一生,虚无缭纱的一生,耐人寻味的一生,所以有人说他胸襟开阔,心灵纯洁,人格高尚,作品光辉,举世无双,名垂千古;也有人说他颓废堕落,道德败坏,色情猥亵,风花雪月,风流倜傥。徐志摩逝世70年来,人们仍没有真正地了解和认识他。那些“评传”之类的书籍,就像流水账一样,记录了徐志摩支离破碎的一生,却未能深入地剖析当时中国知识分子所面临的种种磨难,特别是对西方文化的接受;至于徐志摩的作品如何融合东西方文化的格调和趣味,研究的人更少。徐志摩原名章垿,号志摩,浙江海宁人。1

30、920 年获美国哥伦比亚大学社会学硕士,后转英国剑桥大学取得特别生资格,在王家学院随意选课听讲。从此他抛弃了以往攻读的社会学、经济学,改学文学,他的思想和生活发生了很大变化。徐志摩在剑桥期间致力于西洋文学的钻研,历时两年。这个时期,他的感情如山洪暴发,生命受到一种伟大力量的震撼。缤纷的花雨,不成熟的意念,新诗的心境,我们可以从他的那篇想飞看出这时候他思想生活的轨迹。这时的徐志摩已由一个单纯的爱国青年,转变成为一个浪漫诗人,并创立了“生活是艺术”的所谓“艺术的人生观”。刘心皇曾这样评价说,徐志摩之所以可爱,除了徐志摩绝没有一般文人的小气、多疑、嫉妒、搬弄是非,或是今日连甲攻乙,明日连丙攻甲的毛病

31、之外,尤其在于(1)性格好:热情诚挚,淳朴天真,有赤子之心,是一团同情,是一团爱。(2)对朋友好:他有同情心,是朋友之间的连锁。(3)对一般人好:他对任何人任何事绝没有怨恨,永不恨人,也永想不到人会恨他。(4)极风趣:很自然地讨人欢喜,他一生决不让人苦闷。这是对徐志摩其人的一个极好的概括,入微入妙,逼真逼肖。摘自：风流才子徐志摩O blithe new-comer!I have heard,I hear thee and rejoice.O Cuckoo!shall I call thee Bird,Or but a wandering Voice?While I am lying on th
