王佐良的作品，偶大概翻完，摘抄一些我觉得比较有共鸣的句子和段落贴在这里，
并用【】附上自己的感想
准备再详细看过一遍。
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
第一章引论：莫尔的历史著作和风格
P12. “它很好地完成了叙述任务，但又非纯客观的叙述，而是含有评论以至讽刺的...”
第二章文艺复兴时期
P16 \"培根本人更是认为整个十六世纪的主导风格是‘追求词语过于内容’”
“...我不注重妙句，只尽全力使读者理解，而不是取悦他的耳朵。”
P17“...干脆要求把事情说清楚，而不问什么风格不风格。提出这主张的是科学家们。...
They have exacted from all their Memmbers, a close,naked,natural way of Speaking;positive Expressions, clear Senses; a native Easiness; bringing all Things as near the mathematical Plainness as they can; and preferring the Langauge of Artizans, Countrymen, and Merchants, before that of Wits, or Scholars.”
【看说理的文章，偶就希望作者能讲的清清楚楚，明明白白。把论点、论据用简洁明了的语言阐述出来，把清晰的论证思路摆在读者面前。\"bringing all things as near the mathematical plainess as they can\"这句最有共鸣。我总觉得好的文字不应该用在说理上，应该用在叙述，刻画，描写，说明，抒情上。似乎文采和说理没有太大关系。而且有些好的文字就因为观点太偏颇，就让偶不喜欢了。比如蒙田的随笔，朋友推荐了好几次了，但是我翻了好几次，总是觉得他结论下得太轻易了，看不下去；还有我喜欢的王尔德写得许多漂亮的句子，因为论点太偏激，导致偶不喜欢。】
第五章浪漫主义时期
【傲慢与偏见伊丽莎白拒绝Mr.Collins那段实在是很经典，每次看都忍不住大笑，都快能背下来了。偶觉得Mr. Collines真是非常非常可爱，还有Elizabeth 的那个\"cried\"，一下就把她的率真写出来了，碰到这样的人，真是哭笑不得啊：】
P127. \"...他却以为是姑娘们欲擒先纵的惯技，说什么也咬定她会嫁他，于是伊丽莎白说：I do assure you that I am not the one of those young ladies (if such young ladies there are) who are so daring as to risk their happiness on the chance of being asked a second time. I am perfectly serious in my refusal.-- You could not make me happy, and I am convinced that I am the last woman in the world who would make you so, -- Nay, were your friend Lady Catherine to know me, I am persuaded she would find me in every respect ill qualified for the situation.''
P.128 \"她的话不能说得更明白了，然而对于科林斯全然无效。...I shall choose to attribute it to your wish of increasing my love by suspense, according to the usual practice of elegant females.\"
p.129. \"对于这样一个只打财产算盘，满口官样文章的俗物，伊丽莎白的回答是：'I do assure you, Sir, that I have no pretension whatever to that kind of elegance which consists in tormenting a respectable man. I would rather be paid the compliment of being believed sincere. I thank you again and again for the honour you have done me in your proposals, but to accept them is absolutely impossible. My feelings in every respect forbid it. Can I speak plainer? Do not consider me now as an elegant female intending to plague you, but as a rational creature speaking the truth from her heart.'\"
第六章十九世纪
【BBC一次评选英国历史上最伟大的小说，记得是狄更斯的《远大前程》排在第一，王佐良在《流变》这样评价他：】
P179. \"他是大众的愉悦者，又是社会的良心；同莎士比亚一样，他运用语言是多层次、多方面、多声域的，令所有的学究皱眉，却使英语更加活跃；也同莎士比亚一样，他是最通俗的作家，又是在根本意义上最懂艺术的大师。\"
第七章二十世纪（上）
【萧伯纳的戏剧据说以讨论社会问题为主，但是我看了选的一些段落，晕倒，好偏激主观，有一句还有些共鸣：】
P.189 \"Your man of letters thinks he can get Bunyan's or Shakespear's style without Bunyan's conviction or Shakespear's apprehension, especially if he takes care not to split his infinitives...\"
【选一句偶觉得他说得很荒唐的话，不知道那厮怎么想的：】
P.192 \"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.\"
【罗素的文章看了很多了，摘一句偶比较欣赏的：】
P.203 \"The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge\" |
