The Love of Beauty 爱美之心
By John Ruskin
The love of beauty is an essential part of all hhe rising and the setting sun –all overflow with beauty. This
beauty is so precious, and so congenial to our tenderest and noblest feelings, that it is painful to think of the multitude of people living in the midst of it and yet remaining almost blind to
it.
大自然的美无处不在，整个宇宙就是美的殿堂。美，在春日
百花中绽放 ;美，在绿叶嫩枝间摇曳 ;美，在深海幽谷里游弋 ;美，在奇石与贝壳的缤纷色彩中闪烁。 不只是这些细微之物， 还有海洋，山川，云彩，繁星，日升日落 –一切都是洋溢着美。 这样的美是如此珍贵，与我们最温柔，最高尚的情愫是如此相宜。 然而，想到很多人置身于美之中， 却几乎对它熟视无睹， 真是令人痛心不已。
All persons should seek to become acquainted with the beauty in nature. There is not a worm we tread upon, nor a leaf that dances merrily as it falls before the autumn winds, but calls
for our study and admiration. The power to appreciate beauty not
merely increases our sources of happiness –it enlarges our moral nature, too. Beauty calms our restlessness and dispels our cares. Go into the fields or the woods; spend a summer day by the sea or the mountains, and all your little perplexities and anxieties will vanish. Listen to sweet music, and your foolish fears and petty jealousies will pass away. The beauty of the world helps us to seek
and find the beauty of goodness.
所有的人都应该去认识大自然之美。 没有一条我们踩过的小
虫，没有一片在秋风拂掠之际飞舞的树叶不值得我们研究与赞赏。
欣赏美的能力不仅增加了我们快乐的来源， 也加强了我们德性的
