雙語智慧書·學(xué)以致用
22．學(xué)以致用
學(xué)以致用。智者用高尚的品味和博雅的學(xué)識武裝自己——此乃經(jīng)世致用的學(xué)問，而非市井雜談。他們具備廣博的智慧妙語，懂得大量的豐功偉績，并且深知如何在各種情況下加以運用。通常情況下，用俏皮話的方式闡釋嚴肅的教義更有益。靈活實用的知識比七藝(1)更有幫助，不管七藝有多么雅致。
22．A man of knowledge to the point
A man of knowledge to the point. Wise men arm themselves with tasteful and elegant erudition: a practical knowledge of what is going on not of a common kind but more like an expert. They possess a copious store of wise and witty sayings, and of noble deeds, and know how to employ them on fitting occasions. More is often taught by a jest than by the most serious teaching. Pat knowledge helps some more than the seven arts, be they ever so liberal.
(1) 指中世紀歐洲大學(xué)常設(shè)的七門學(xué)科：語法、修辭、邏輯、算術(shù)、幾何、音樂和天文。
