问答题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 judgement 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 of affairs, come best from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgement wholly by their rules, is the humour of a scholar. They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need proyning (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; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation.

【翻译要点】
第一句中ornament本意“装饰”、“美化”,引申为“增光彩”,这里是“谈吐不俗”、“显露文采”的意思。最后一句中“that is a wisdom without them, and above them”是指这种智慧出乎其外、超乎其上。翻译时加上了“不在书中”,而略去了above them,使意思更加显豁。
