The Importance of Scientific Experiments
The rise of modern science may perhaps be considered to date as far back as the time of RogerBacon, the wonderful monk and philosopher of Oxford, who lived between the years 1214and 1292. He was probably the first, in the mid- tide ages to assert that we must learn scienceby observing and experimenting on the things around us, and he himself made manyremarkable discoveries. Galileo, however, who lived more than 800 years later (1564 to1642), was the greatest of several great men, who in Italy, France, Germany, or Eng- land,began by degrees to show how many important truths could be discovered by well-directedobservation. Before the time of Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fall more rapidlytowards the earth than small ones, because Aristotle said so. But Galileo, going to the top ofthe Leaning Tower of Pisa, let fall two unequal stones, and proved to some friends, whom hehad brought there to see his experiment, that Aristotle was in error. It is Galileo's spirit ofgoing direct to Nature, and verifying our opinions and theories by experiment, that. has led toall the great discoveries of modern science.
科學實驗的重要性
現(xiàn)代科學的興起也許要追溯到羅杰·培根的時代.羅杰·培根是牛津杰出的僧侶和哲學家，他出生于1214年，死于 1292年。他可能是中世紀第一個提出我們必須通過對周圍事物進行觀察和實驗來學習科學的人，他自己也有許多卓越的發(fā)現(xiàn)。然而，生活在三百多年之后的伽利略(1564-1642),卻是好幾個偉大人物中最偉大的一個，這些人在意大利，法國，德國和英國開始逐步使人們看到許多重要的真理是可以通過掌握得當?shù)挠^察去發(fā)現(xiàn)的。在伽利略之前，學者們相信大的物體掉到地面比小的物體要快，因為亞理斯多德是這樣說的?？墒?，伽利略登上比薩斜塔的頂端，讓兩塊體積不相等的石頭同時落地，從而向一些他帶去觀看實驗的朋友們證明，亞理斯多德錯了。正是伽利略的這種直接到大自然中去通過實驗來證明我們的判斷和理論的精神，導致了所有現(xiàn)代科學的偉大發(fā)現(xiàn)。

An Hour before Sunrise
An hour before sunrise in the city there is all air of cold, solitary desolation about thenoiseless streets, which we are accustomed to see thronged at other times by a busy, eagercrowd, and over the quiet, closely shut buildings which throughout the day are swarming withlife. The drunken, the dissipated, and tile criminal have disappeared; the more soberand orderly part of the population have not yet awaken- ed to the labors of the day, and thestillness of death is over the streets; its very hue seems to be imparted to them, cold andlifeless as they look in the gray, somber light of day- break. A partially opened bedroomwindow here and there bespeaks the heat of the weather and the uneasy slumbers of itsoccupant; and the dim scanty flicker of a light through the blinds of yonder windows denotesthe chamber of watching and sickness. Save for that sad light, the streets present no signs oflife, nor the houses of habitation.
日出前的一小時
日出前的一小時，城里一片冷清和孤寂，我們慣于看到的在一日中其他時刻擠滿匆忙人群的大街變得空蕩蕩、靜悄悄，整天人來人往，活動頻繁的房屋，此刻門戶緊閉，寂靜無聲。醉鬼，放蕩者、犯罪分子都不見了，居民中比較循規(guī)蹈矩，持重沉著的人們還沒有醒來開始他們一天的工作，大街死一般地寂靜，似乎也染上了死一般的色彩，在拂曉陰沉、灰暗的光線里顯得冷清而毫無生氣。到處都有一扇扇半開半掩的臥室窗戶，表明天氣炎熱，屋主人睡眠不寧，那邊百葉窗里透露出搖曳的微光，表明那房間里有人臥病或守夜。除了那憂郁的燈光，街上一片死寂，住房里也沒有人活動的跡象。

On Etiquette
Etiquette to society is what apparel is to the individual. Without apparel men would go inshameful nudity which would surely lead to the corruption of morals; and without etiquettesociety would be in a pitiable state and the necessary intercourse between its members wouldbe interfered with by needless offences and troubles. If society were a train, the etiquettewould be the rails along which only the train could rumble forth; if society were a state coach,the etiquette would be the wheels and axis, on which only the coach could roll forward. Thelack of proprieties would make the most intimate friends turn to be the most decided enemiesand the friendly or allied countries declare war against each other. We can find manyexamples in the history of mankind. Therefore I advise you to stand on ceremony beforeanyone else and to take pains not to do anything against etiquette lest you give offencesor make enemies.
論禮儀
禮儀之于社會猶如衣著之于個人。人若不穿衣服，就會一絲不掛，令人恥笑，必然導致道德敗壞，社會要是沒有禮儀，就會陷入可悲的境地，而社會成員之間所必需的交往就會被無謂的沖突和糾紛所干擾。假定社會是一列火車，禮儀就好比軌道，火車只能沿著它隆隆前進。假定社會是一輛貴賓車，禮儀就好比輪子與軸，馬車只有靠它們才能滾滾前進。缺了禮節(jié)，最親密的朋友會變成死敵，友好或結盟的國家會兵戎相見。我們可以從人類歷史上找到許多這種例子。因此我勸你對于任何人都要講究禮儀，并且盡力不做違背禮儀的事，以免冒犯他人或者樹敵。
