Nature does not give the crown of its approbation,namely,Beauty,to the any action or emblem or actor but to one which combines both these elements ;
自然不会给王权以认同,换句话说,美人,不是因为是她的举止、气质或行为美才美,而是因为她具有所有这些品质她才被称为美人.
not to the rock which resists the waves from age to age,nor to the wave which lashes incessantly the rock,but the superior beauty is with the oak which stands with its hundred arms against the storms of a century and grows every year like a sapling;
高尚的美不是岩石世世代代的抵抗波浪,也不是波浪不断地拍打岩石,而是像橡树那样以其上百个枝条抵御暴风并不断的成长一个世纪.
or the river which ever flowing,yet is found in the same bed from age to age;
或者像河流那样世世代代在同一个河床不断的流淌.
or,greatest of all,the man who has subsisted for years amid the changes of nature,yet has distanced himself,so that when you remember what he was,and see what he is,you say,what strides!
或者,更伟大的,一个在不断改变的环境中生活的人在生活中不断地改变,所以,如果你还记得过去的他,再看现在的他,你会说,多么大的蜕变!
