A child and a man were walking on the beach when the child found a shell and held it to his ear. Suddenly he heard strange, low, musical sounds. These sound sseemed to be from another world and the child listened to them with wonder.

Then the man explained that the child heard nothing strange, and that the shell caught a range of sounds too faint for human ears. What amazed the child was not a new world, but the unnoticed music of the old.

随后男子解释说，孩子听到的声音没有什么奇怪的，只不过是贝壳捕捉到了种种对于人的耳朵来说过于微弱的声音而已。让孩子为之惊奇的其实不是一个新世界，而是旧世界那被人忽视的乐音。

What is literature
Literature
Some such experience as this lies in store for us when we begin the study of literature. Let a little song appeal to the ear, or a great book to the heart, and we discover a new world, a world of dreams and magic. To enter and enjoy this new world, we need to love literature, and make an effort to explain it.

当我们开始学习文学的时候，我们也会有如此这般的体验。让一首小曲愉悦我们的耳朵，或者让一部巨著触动我们的心灵，这样我们就会发现一个全新的世界，一个充满梦想和魔力的世界。要进人这个新世界，并享受其中的乐趣，我们需要热爱文学，并尽力去解读它。

Behind every book is a man, behind the man is the race, and behind the race are the natural and social environments. We must know all these, if the book is to speak its whole message. In a word, we have now reached a point where we wish to enjoy and understand literature. The first step is to determine some of its significant qualities.
Para.2
每本书背后都有一个人，此人身后是一个族群，这个族群背后是自然和社会环境。如果要了解一本书所传递的全部信息，我们就必须了解所有这些内容。总之，我们现在已经到了想要欣赏和理解文学的阶段。第一步是确定它的一些重要特质。

Part 2:Three significant qualities of literature
The first quality of literature is its description of truth and beauty. Some truth and beauty remain unnoticed until a sensitive human soul brings them to our attention, just as the shell reflects the unnoticed sounds. A hundred men may pass a field and see only dead grass; but a poet stops, looks deeper, sees truth and beauty, and writes, "Yesterday's flowers am I." One who reads it is capable of seeing the beauty that was hidden from his eyes before.
Para.3
文学的第一个特质是它对真与美的描写。一些真与美一直被忽视，直到一个敏锐的人类灵魂让它们引起我们的注意，正如贝壳捕捉到了我们未曾注意的声音一样。一百个人走过田野，眼中所见的可能都只是枯草，而诗人驻足，看得更深，他看到了真与美，遂写下:“昨日之花即是我。”读了这句诗的人便能看到以前隐匿在眼前的美。

The second quality of literature is its appeal to our feelings and imagination. Its attraction lies more in what it awakens in us than what it says. When Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus asks in the presence of Helen, "Was this the face that launched a thousand ships " he opens a door through which our imagination enters a new world, a world of love, beauty and heroism.
Para.4
文学的第二个特质在于它能打动我们的情感，启发我们的想象力。文学的魅力更多在于它唤起了我们什么，而不在于它说了什么。克里斯托弗·马洛笔下的浮士德博士当着海伦的面问:“这就是那张让上千艘战舰为之起航的面庞吗 ”此时他便打开了一扇门，通过这扇门，我们的想象力进入了一个充满爱、美和英雄主义的新世界。

Part 2:Three significant qualities of literature
克里斯托弗·马洛
Christopher Marlowe
（British poet, playwriter, wrote The tragedy of Doctor Faustus）
Helen
特洛伊战争是以争夺世上最漂亮的女人海伦（Helen）为起因，
以阿伽门农，墨涅拉俄斯为首的希腊联军进攻以普里阿摩斯为国王的
特洛伊城的十年攻城战。
然而根据《世界通史》的论述，特洛伊地处交通要道，商业发达，经济繁荣，人民生活富裕。
亚该亚各君主结成联军，推举阿伽门农为统帅。他们对地中海沿岸最富有的地区早就垂涎三尺，一心想占为己有，于是以海伦为借口发动战争，这才是特洛伊战争的真正目的。
What it says
Para.4 the second quality
To awaken feelings and imagination
What it says
What it awakens
Was this the face that launched a thousand ships
Our imagination enters a new world, a world of love, beauty and heroism.
The third quality of literature, coming out of the other two, is its permanence. To achieve this, it should contain two elements: universal interest and personal style. Good literature reflects the most basic of human nature-love and hate, joy and sadness, fear and hope. It also takes on a personal style-no writer can describe human life without reflecting his own life and experiences.
Para.5
文学的第三个特质是其持久的生命力。它源于前两个特质。要实现这一点，它须包含两个要素：广泛的关切和个人的风格。好的文学作品反映了任性最基本的内涵——爱与恨、喜与悲、恐惧与希望。它也带有个人风格——没有哪个作家能够在描写人类的生活时不反映其个人生活和经历。

Snowflakes fly from the sky,
Pure white dancers, soft and shy.
They cover earth in a blanket white,
Painting winter in a peaceful light.
