Let us, I say, be agreed about the meaning of the terms we are using. I talk of knowing the
best which has been thought and uttered in the world; Professor Huxley says this means knowing
literature. Literature is a large world; it may mean everything written with letters or printed in a
book. Euclid's Elements and Newton's Principle are thus literature. All knowledge that reaches us
through books is literature. But by literature Professor Huxley means bells lettres. He means to
make me say, that knowing the best which has been thought and said by the modern nations is
knowing their belles lettres and no more. And this is no sufficient equipment, he argues, for
criticism of modern life. But as I do not mean, by knowing ancient Rome, Knowing merely more
or less of Latin belles lettres, and taking no account of Rome's military, and political, and legal, and
administrative work in the world, and as, by knowing ancient Greece, I understand knowing her as
the giver of Greek art, and the guide to a free and right use of reason and to scientific method, and
the founder of our mathematics and physics and astronomy and biology- understand knowing her
as all this, and not merely knowing certain Greek poems, and histories, and treatises, and speeches
-so as to the knowledge of modern nations also. By knowing modern nations, I mean not merely
knowing their belles lettres, but knowing also what has been done by such men as Copernicus,
Galileo, Newton, Darwin...
II. From Chinese to English(30％)
今天全没月光，我知道不妙。早上小心出门，赵贵翁的眼色便怪：似乎怕我，似乎想害
我。还有七八个人，交头接耳的议论我，又怕我看见。一路上的人，都是如此。其中最凶的
一个人，张着嘴，对我笑了一笑，我便从头直冷到脚跟，晓得他们布置，都已妥当了。
我可不怕，仍旧走我的路，前面一伙小孩子，也在那里议论我；眼色也同赵贵翁——样，
脸色也都铁青。我想我同小孩子有什么仇，他也这样，忍不住大声说，“你告诉我!” 他们可
就跑了。
我想：我同赵贵翁有什么仇，同路上的人又有什么仇；只有二十年前，把古久先生的陈
年流水簿子，踹了一脚，古久先生很不高兴，赵贵翁虽然不认识他，一定也听到风声，代抱
不平；约定路上的人，同我作冤对。但是小孩子呢?那时候，他们还没有出世，何以今天也
睁着怪眼睛，似乎怕我，似乎想害我。这真教我怕，教我纳罕而且伤心。
我明白了。这是他们娘老子教的!

I．让我们先就手头所使用的术语的含义，取得某些一致的看法。我所谈论的是要了解世人所
思所谈的精华。对此赫胥黎教授指出，这就是意味着要熟谙文学。但文学是一很宽泛的
领域，它可指一切以字母形式书写或书中刊印的所有内容。就此而言，《欧几里德原理》、
