【原文】Of Studies——Francis Bacon 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 men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling ofaffairs come best from those that are learned.To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament is affection; to make judgment wholly by their rules is the humor of a scholar. They perfect nature and are perfected by experience: for naturalabilities 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.Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them, for they teach not their own use; butthat is a wisdom without them and above them, won by observation. Read not to contradict and confuse; 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 booksare to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be ready 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 meanersort 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 mores. Nay there is no stond 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 theyare cymini sectores. 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.谈读书——王佐良译读书足以怡情，足以博彩，足以长才。
论读书王佐良译文翻译及原文读书是人类进步的阶梯，而翻译则是传播知识的桥梁。
在学习与传播的过程中，文献翻译功不可没。
在小说、诗歌及其他文学作品翻译领域中，良好的翻译不仅要忠实于原文的内容，还要将其精神与意境完美地传达出来。
本文将以王佐良对读书的翻译及原文进行论述。
鲁迅先生曾说：“认真地读一本书，就是在和著者精神交谈。
”读书的翻译就是在与作者对话的过程中，将其所想所写准确而生动地传述给读者。
王佐良是一位在文学翻译领域颇负声誉的译者，他的翻译作品极大地丰富了中国读者的阅读体验。
就在2021年，王佐良翻译并出版了英国作家乔治·奥威尔的《1984》。
这本翻译版以其精准的译文和流畅的表达方式广受好评。
在这部小说中，王佐良不仅准确地译出了原文的意思，还充分考虑到了中国读者的文化背景和阅读习惯。
他掌握了作者的情感和意图，并将其完整地传达给了读者。
王佐良的翻译工作虽然在这本小说中只是语言的转换，但他成功地将奥威尔的思想和情感传达给了中国读者，为读者搭建了一座跨越时空和文化的桥梁。
在其他文学翻译领域，王佐良的翻译功力同样值得称道。
他翻译过的《红与黑》、《简爱》、《呼啸山庄》等经典著作也都广受欢迎。
他的翻译语言优美、准确，并且忠实于原文的风格与特点。
通过王佐良的翻译，读者可以更好地理解和欣赏这些世界文学作品的内涵和艺术魅力。
然而，对于一个翻译者来说，选择合适的译文也是一项挑战。
在进行文学翻译时，翻译者需要全面了解原文的语言、风格和文化特点。
王佐良在选择和翻译文学作品时，注重在原文的基础上增加其翻译的可读性，并在尊重原著的前提下，适当增添或删减一些内容，以使译文更适合目标读者。
他的翻译作品不仅保留了原文的风格和内涵，还结合了中国读者的口味和阅读习惯，为读者提供了一种贴近他们生活经验的阅读体验。
当然，作为一位杰出的译者，王佐良的翻译工作并非完美无缺。
在某些时候，由于文化差异或其他原因，完全忠实于原文可能无法满足目标读者的需求。

大 众 文 艺大摘要：本文以王佐良先生《论读书》的译文为例，分析了在英语散文汉译时语言及结构特征的归化，以及对语言的表情功能、信息功能、美感功能，以及祈使功能的传达。
关键词：论读书；语言；结构特征；语言的表情功能；信息功能；美感功能；祈使功能Abstract: On the basis of the study of Wang Zuoliang’s Chinese translation of “Of Studies”, this essay analyzes the domestication of English language and structure as well as transmission of various functions of language, such as function of expression, information, aestheticism and imperativeness when translated into Chinese.Key words: Of Studies; language; structure; function of expression; function of information; function of aestheticism; function of imperativeness散文是一种独特的文学体裁，其选材范围广泛，结构自由灵活，表现手法多样，语言不受韵律的拘束。
在文体特征上，散文不拘泥于固定的形式，但却往往又以其结构上潜在的层次感和语言的生动简洁来打动读者的心扉；在语言功能上，散文往往具备表情功能、信息功能、美感功能，以及祈使功能。
基于散文的以上特点，将英语散文译成汉语时，译文应完整地再现原文的结构特点，达到与原文相似的功能，使译文的意义完整，语言流畅，地道。
下文中，笔者将以我国著名的翻译家王佐良先生对英国哲学家培根的“Of Studies”的译文《论读书》为例，简要论述英语散文汉译时应该注意的问题。
一、英语散文汉译时语言及结构特征的归化总体而言，王佐良先生的译文与原文是句句对应，有的句子根据汉语语法特点汉语进行了相应的调整，另一些句子则根据汉语的表达习惯而相应调整了语序，从而使译文流畅自然。
例如：Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability.读书足以怡情，足以博采，足以长才。
上述译文中，三个介词被译成了三个动词，三个并列的介词短语因此也成了三个动词短语。
这样译文符合汉语的层层推进的叙事方法及多用动词的语言特征。
又如：To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is affection; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humor of a scholar.读书费时过多易惰，文采藻饰太盛则矫，全凭条文断事乃学究故态。
原文前部分“To spend too much time in studies is sloth”是用不定式做主语。
译文照顾到汉语语言习惯，用“读书”作主语。
这既忠实地表达了原文的意义，又符合散文的朴素风格和中文简练明快的特点，原文的后部分“is the humor of a scholar”巧妙地运用“学究故态”将英语的静态特点转化成汉语的动态特点。
下面一句译文也十分精彩：They prefect nature ,and are perfected by experience: for 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.读书补天然之不足，经验又补读书之不足，盖天生才干犹如自然花草，读书然后知如何修剪移接；而书中所示，如不以经验范之，则又大而无当。
原文中的冒号被译文中的逗号代替，原文中的总分结构也被汉语的连动结构代替。
这样使译文更符合汉语表达的特点。
译文又巧妙地将原文中的“except they be bounded in by experience”译为主动语态，突出体现了汉语的语言特点。
这里，我们不得不赞叹王佐良先生驾驭英汉两种语言的能力。
二、英语散文汉译时对原文语言功能的传达散文作为一种独立的文学体裁，往往具备表情功能、信息功能、美感功能及祈使功能等语言功能。
因此，在英语散文汉译时，我们不仅要尽最大的努力保留原作所具有的语言特征，而且要尽力传达原作的各种语言功能。
1．译文对原文表情功能的传达语言的表情功能体现在它能够改变接受者的情绪状态，能够激发人内心深处的各种情感。
散文的表情功能就在于它往往能够以简洁易懂的语言引起读者的共鸣。
在翻译中，语言的表情功能的传达致关重要，它直接关系到译文的成败。
培根的“Of Studies”是公认的劝学名篇，因此译文也应具有同样的功能，在这一点上，王佐良先生很好地完成了他作为译者的任务，使《论读书》成了中国所独特的劝学名篇。
2．译文对原文信息功能的传达语言的信息功能即运用简练的语言,将自己的思想传达给读者,使读者可以更好地理解文章的思想内容。
在散文翻译中，对于原文中晦涩或较难理解的句子，译文应在保持语言顺畅前提下，给予适当解释或说明，从而保证其对原文信息功能的传达。
如下面“Of Studies”中的句子：Abeut studia in mores.凡有所学，皆成性格。
原文比较难以理解，王佐良先生将其翻译成汉语推崇的四字结构，既保留了原文古雅的风格，同时也道明了句子潜在的意义，达到了对原文信息功能的传达。
3．译文对原文美感功能的传达语言的美感功能就是通过精心构思的语言,给读者以美好的享受。
接受美学理论认为,文学作品是注定为读者而创作的。
因此，经过再创作的译文也是为读者服务的，应该将读者的接纳、欣赏和评判作为其生存的依据和标准。
散文的特殊性决定其翻译是目标取向策略(target-oriented strategy)。
也就是说,译者在忠实地传达原作意图的基础上,应侧重译文的读者效应, 除了考虑其所包含的语言和文化信息,更要注重其语用功能,即语言应能提示给予读者以美的享受。
因此, 翻译散文时, 除应忠实传达原文的语言和文化信息,更应考虑读者的期待视野、审美情趣和接受能力。
如《论读书》中，以下句子的翻译，就完整地保留了原文的美感功能。
Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability.读书足以怡情，足以博采，足以长才。
4．译文对原文祈使功能的传达语言的祈使功能是指其对接受者行为的影响功能。
这一功能可由命令或劝告来达成，但是通常更有效的途径是恰当的解释，有启发的玩笑，或者是一个发人深省的提问，它的使用常常暗示某种权威。
在翻译中，我们要特别注意对原文的这种语气，也即语言的祈使功能的保留。
如在培根的“Of Studies”中，有如下句子：Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe从王佐良《论读书》的译文看英语散文的翻译黄 绚 (重庆师范大学 外国语学院 重庆 400030)（下转102页）语言研究大 众 文 艺大提起杨宝忠先生，一般梨园行的内外人士可能首先想到的是“京胡圣手”这一雅号。
其实，杨宝忠先生在改习场面之前，就已经是红遍全国的著名余派老生了。
杨宝忠还是余叔岩先生正式收徒的大弟子，在他学余有所成就之后，也分别在物克多公司和胜利公司录制了一些唱片。
而这些唱片的灌制时期，正是他嗓音较好的时期。
现在这些唱片的录音也仍然留传在世，研究和爱好余派唱腔的朋友们也非常喜爱聆听这些录音资料。
这些录音，虽然相比于孟小冬先生留下的遗音不够丰富，但是却很好地体现了余派早期的演唱风格，恰好能与孟小冬先生的一些录音对比，相信听者有心，可以从中获取很多感悟与启发。
下面，笔者就简单谈谈对于这几张老唱片录音的一些认识。
【珠帘寨•解宝】“太保传令把队收”和“昔日有个三大贤”两段。
这两段唱腔可与孟小冬先生的这两段吊嗓儿录音进行对比。
杨宝忠所学的余派的早期风格和孟小冬所学的余派的晚期风格区别很大，很多地方旋律有差别。
另外余叔岩先生在灌制“昔日有个三大贤”的唱片时，由于容量所限，删去的两句原板的词句对后世的影响甚大。
在杨宝忠和孟小冬的唱片以及后来杨宝森的演出中，删去的两句也都不存在了。
【南阳关•城楼】“恨杨广斩忠良谗臣当道”一段，从导板起，一直唱到[扫头]。
这段唱腔可与孟小冬先生的半截吊嗓儿录音对比。
显然，孟小冬的唱法细腻了很多，杨宝忠的唱法显得简约一些。
其实，杨宝忠的这种唱法难度大了很多，后面的快板部分顿挫有力，充分体现了余派的中锋嗓儿，提留劲儿的唱法。
学唱者如果不能准确把握擞儿和气口，后面唱的肯定是白水一样。
【庆顶珠•杀家】“恼恨那吕子秋为官不正”和“恨奸贼不由我心中冒火”两段唱腔。
这两段唱儿的劲头很难掌握，但是杨宝忠先生唱散板时却充分展示了余派的韵味，尺寸非常精准，让人听来回味无穷。
学唱者若想有如此这般的演唱水平，必须要把音准包括附点烂熟于心。
另外，这段唱词与现在通常见到的《打渔杀家》的唱词出入较大，故而把唱词抄录如下：恼恨那吕子秋为官不正，欺压我三江口贫穷的良民。
上公堂原被告一言不问，责打我四十板就赶出了头门。
没奈何咬牙关忙往家奔，叫一声桂英儿你快来开门。
恨奸贼不由我心中恼火，心儿里一阵阵咬碎牙窝。
那赃官凭势力欺压于我，今夜晚过江去将尔杀却。
恨不得生双翅越江而过，我的儿你为何撒了蓬索？啊，我的儿啊！【乌龙院•闹院】宋江出场的几段四平调。
这种唱腔绝对是余派的准词，与一般的唱词都不同。
余叔岩先生特别强调过“大堂上打鼓退了堂”，而不能是“大老爷打罢了退堂鼓”，因为宋江本人并不打鼓，而是衙役打鼓。
后来亦有人为了统一“江阳辙”，唱作：“大老爷打鼓退了堂，衙前来了我宋江。
” 另外，这出戏虽往往是当成了做派戏，但是剧中的唱腔并不少，非嗓音优秀者不可胜任。
【御碑亭•休妻】“王有道提笔泪难忍”一段。
这一段对比贯大元先生的老唱片，风格十分接近。
但是再对比孟小冬先生说戏的录音，差距又很明显。
可见余派早期风格和晚期风格对于细微之处的处理是不同的，应该说晚期更加平和中正，早期显得挺拔俊俏，尤其是体现在西皮的唱腔风格之中。
