三、Francisl Bacon弗兰西斯•培根1561~1626
Bacon’s
quote
1、 knowledge is power 知识就是力量。
2、
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 美犹如盛夏的水果,是容易腐烂而难保持的
,世上有许多美人,她
们有过放荡的青春,却迎受着愧悔的晚年。
3、 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,必须通过学
习加以修整;然而学习本身如若不由实践去约束,必然方向纷杂而漫无目的。
4、 Virtue is like a rich stone, best plain set
美德好比宝石,在朴素背景的
衬托下反而更华丽。

In the opening of
Pride And Prejudice, Jane Austen states: “It is a
truth
universally acknowledged, that a single
man in possession of a good fortune,
must be
in want of a wife”. People marry for many reasons,
including
convenience, love, infatuation, and
companionship throughout the novel.

评价:
§ one of the
major English Romantic poets
§ is critically
regarded among the finest lyric poets in the
English
language
§ Shelley was famous for
his association with John Keats and Lord Byron.
作品:
l Isabella《伊莎贝拉》
l Four great odes:
l
Theme: The theme of John Keats'
poem,
natural and beautiful. The poem praises
the glories of the fall season by
using almost
every type of imagery to both charm and appeal to
the reader.
Comment: The speaker in the poem
acknowledges that time passes by, but also
asserts that this change usually yields
something new and better than what
came
before. Each of the poem's three stanzas
represents the evolving of
two different types
of change. One type of change shown in the poem is
the
change of periods in a day.
