To Be a Full Man from Reading
We all know that study can cultivate a man and even make a full man. A full man should have a positive view of world, life and value, which is usually based on a balanced knowledge system. And how can we obtain this necessary knowledge? Of Studies is the answer to this question. In Bacon’s essay Of Studies, reading purposes and functions are discussed in detail. Bacon also analyzes the different attitudes to reading and introduces various methods of reading. Above all, Bacon tells us how to be a full man from reading.
In the very beginning, Bacon points out that reading can serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. We can see that reading has three functions. It delights you; it beautifies you; and it strengthens your ability. The author also says that their chief use for delight is in private life and retiring. That is to say, when you stay alone, book is your best companion which eases loneliness and brings happiness. If you are really absorbed in the book, you may not feel lonely. “For ornament, is in discourse.” When communicating or negotiating with others, knowledge learned from books can make you decent and educated. In other words, reading beautifies you in that occasion. “And for ability, is in the judgment and disposition.” Faced with affairs, an expert man can judge of particulars one by one. But to general people, he should act decisively. It means he can hold the whole situation and think out a plan. Where does this kind of ability come from? Reading. If you read all kinds of books, you are able to taste what might not happen to you in real life, and then ask yourself what you would do in that situation. Reading helps you make fewer mistakes. For that, you can learn mistake examples from books so that you may make no mistakes when you are in the same situation.
According to the essay, reading perfects people’s nature. The gold have no foot red, the person has no perfect person. Defects can be made up and reading is a superexcellent methods. Natural abilities are like natural plants that need pruning by study. Reading ten thousand books is like traveling ten thousand miles. You can accumulate knowledge little by little and one day you may find yourself wiser than others. This wisdom is not born with you but acquired after years’ effort.
“Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.” That is to say, we should choose some book to read, but not read all the books. Some useful books should be read carefully and taken notes. Different books have different functions; the essay is telling us reading different books can bring different knowledge which
we lack. And different books have different methods to read. There are countless numbers of books in the bookstores or libraries. You do not have that energy to read all the books. As a wise man, you definitely choose to select some of them to read, which is of great benefit to you. Basically, these books can give you true knowledge, perfect your personality and help you form right view of life and world. And then you have taken a big step on the way to be a full man.
Francis Bacon’s Of Studies says “histories make men wise, poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend.” That is to say, we read all kinds of books that contribute to perfect our knowledge structure and form critical thinking. So we should read books of various fields to make us be a full man. That also can learn more about our world in all aspects. Reading can make a full man. That is to say, we should read more books which are useful for us. Reading can enlarge our knowledge in different fields.
What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun. Sometimes the real world is same as the ancient time and the situation we are in is quite like what our forebears suffered. Reading histories makes people learn lessons from the ancient time, avoid making the same mistakes and predict the development of things. People who read histories will be wiser than these who just act according to their own preferences without learning from histories.
Reading poems makes people learn the beauty of language, the beautiful classical style of art and live a poetic life. People who read poems will be wittier than these who haven’t feel the beautiful mood and pure life. The modern society is too busy and reading poems can slow down the pace of life and makes people not so impetuous. Putting yourself into poetic conditions, you may lead a different and easy life.
Reading mathematics makes people focus on the accurate calculation, develop a scientific attitude, and form a pragmatic spirit. And mathematics makes people attentive and think more and logically when encountering different things no matter it is big or small. People who read mathematics will be more subtle to consider things from all aspects and do things from the drop carefully than these who don’t read.
Reading natural philosophy makes people pursue truth, explore the unknown mystery, and practice actively. People who read natural philosophy will be deeper than these who don’t
learn the theory of reflecting the truth.
Reading moral makes people learn the way of harmony living, form the principle of ethical behaviors and develop correct outlooks on values. In other words, people who read moral know how to live in the society and how to build relationships with people surrounding them. People who read moral will be graver than these who behave without correct principles and can’t deal with different relationships.
Reading logic makes people master the rules of thinking, dealing with different things and exploring objective reality. People who read logic will be more contend to have clear ideas, mater the principles of objective truth than these who don’t act according to rules.
Different kinds of reading materials play different roles in making a full man. People should get into different reading fields and train themselves to become a comprehensive talent. Reading will do good to one’s physical health according to some reading materials of physical training. What’s more important, reading promotes the development of logic thinking and morality. People can be called a full man on condition that they have fine quality, delicate self-cultivation and strict morality. Try to read extensively and become a full man.
All in all, reading books of certain field brings certain knowledge and ability we lack. Of Studies gives us the method of reading books and being a full man.

力量之始，精神之源
——培根《论读书》读后感 有一份心情，我们从未停下脚步去追寻；
有一份梦想，我们从未放下翅膀去采撷。
读书之梦、之乐。关于读书，我们保存着心情，娱情，写实以记录精彩人生。
——题记 “读书可以作为消遣，可以作为装饰，也可以增长才干。”文章一开始就指出读书的目的。“消遣、装饰、增长才干”。犹如站立在一片浩瀚大海之前，我们张开双臂，拥抱清新空气与灿烂阳光。
弗朗西斯.培根，是英国文艺复兴时期最重要的散文作家，唯物主义哲学家，被马克思称为“英国唯物主义和整个现代实验科学的真正始祖。”他不但在文学，哲学上多有建树，在自然科学领域内，也取得了重大成就。他是经历过生活坎坷磨难的贵族子弟，生活的磨难使他的思想成熟，言论深邃，富含哲理。她的整个世界观是现世的而非宗教的，她崇尚理性主义，是一位经验论者和现实主义者。
《论读书》是培根较为重要的作品之一，其中提出了读书的重要性等。其实一个学生似乎已然对读书这一名词并不陌生，而读书之好、之乐、之用，我们却如婴孩，仍在认识世界里处于感知阶段。
怎样去读书？培根在文章中将书籍比作食品，或浅尝、或吞咽、或仔细咀嚼、或请人代读，都是较为科学且蕴含哲学意味的方式了。
读书的重要性，培根则是较为重点的进行论述了。他指出：“读书可作为消遣，可作
为装饰，可增长才干。”实际静心、专心，莫不是如此！
我们的世界里，书书本本并不是什么难见之物，似乎它们已是如同空气分子一般的存在。而我们，是不是有一份心情，一份追求去对待阅读呢？
高尔基曾说过：“书籍是人类进步的阶梯”，林语堂也曾发文特指出阅读的好处，其实文人是应该最了解读书的好处的罢。“知识就是力量”“知识改变命运”等等关于知识，关于教育的口号，亦已显出读书作用了。
或许，我们读书，是为了它的作用，而更多的，这是一份关于人生漫步的幽静小道，不是么？生命之源，源于力量；力量之起，起于精神；精神之始，始于我们思想文化内涵，而读书则真如一片浩瀚之海，拥有无尽的能量了。
篇三：培根论读书原文及翻译赏析
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 judgment 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 makes 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 subtle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend. Abeunt studia in morse. (Studies go to make up a man’s character.)
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.

Bacon's Essay" for the well-known seventeenth-century English
thinker, statesman and philosopher Francis Bacon written by empiricism. The book is divided into "On the quest for knowledge," "On Beauty", "On the Good," "On Truth," "On health", "On Family," "On Friendship" and many
essays. In "On the quest for knowledge", the Bacon said: "Man's nature is like the wild flowers, seeking knowledge, learning is like pruning transplanting." Visible quest for knowledge can change people's destiny, in our lives is very important. "On Friendship", the Bacon said: "If you bring happiness to tell a friend, you will get two happiness; and if you sad to confide in a friend, you will be minutes away half the sadness." This shows friends an essential role in around us, you can add color to our lives. In dozens of Suibi in impressed me most is "On Beauty." This is one of "America" in classic, language simple, profound message is full of philosophy. "America" itself is a very broad
question, this article focuses on how people should treat the external beauty and inner beauty problems. There is no one is perfect, so do not complain about his external defects, only the inner beauty is eternal beauty. The United States and Germany more important than beauty, the aesthetic appearance of virtue and beauty combined, the United States issued a truly brilliant. Text there is such a word: "physical beauty to be better than the color of beauty, grace acts of beauty is better than physical beauty." Shape a person's overall image of the shape. Color refers to facial appearance, primarily the face, be partial. The behavior of the United States, refers to gestures action demeanor is acquired, is the inner beauty reflected in performance in the three highest. Now, some people only pay attention to the beauty of appearance, while
ignoring the inherent, although they have a beauty, but because of the lack of cultivation not deserve to be a beautiful compliment. Therefore, a dress is not luxury but a dignified and solemn while the United States and Germany people are very respectable. Hence, the morphology of the United States combined with the virtues of beauty bar. Only in this way, each will radiate the true brilliance.
