The Enigma (谜)of Beauty

    The search for beauty spans centuries and continents. Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发)of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance.

    There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive:beauty is power. Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier.

    But what exactly is beauty? It's difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a very early age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.

    The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In studies by psychologists, men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientists, the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traits —the full lips, clear skin, strong shoulders —equal health and genetic well-being.

    Not everyone thinks the same way, however. " Our hardwiredness can be changed by all sorts of expectations —mostly cultural, " says C. Loring Brace, an anthropologist at the University of Michigan. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines:the women on the pages are thin. But is this "perfect" body type for women worldwide? Scientists' answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures.

    For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder.

《如何阅读一本书》译序
郝明义
      ①我是在1999年春节期间,第一次读《如何阅读一本书》,离这本书的初版(1940年),有六十年了。会知道这本书,极为偶然。
      ②前一年,也就是1998年年底,我和一位译者讨论稿件之后,聊天聊到一部叫作《益智游戏》(Quiz Show)的电影。电影是真实故事,主角是1950年代美国哥伦比亚大学一位英姿焕发的年轻教授,查尔斯•范多伦(Charles Van Doren)。查尔斯?范多伦书香门第,父亲马克•范多伦(Mark Van Doren)不但是名教授,在美国文学史上也有其地位(《如何阅读一本书》里就提到他的一些著作)。查尔斯•范多伦由于博览群书,才气过人,就参加当年风行美国的电视益智节目,结果连续拿下十四周冠军(今天网络上还可以找到当年的题目,难度非同小可)。查尔斯?范多伦固然因而成了英雄,但是他终究不敌良知的煎熬,最后坦承主办单位提供了他一些问题的答案。电影在查尔斯?范多伦得知他被学校解聘的黯然中结束。
      ③那天我在聊天中得知他后来如何又蒙艾德勒(Mortimer J。Adler)收留,以及他们两人后来的故事。
      ④艾德勒在美国学界和出版界都是个传奇的人物。早年因为想当记者,所以辍学去报社打工,后来为了改善写作,去上大学的夜间部课程。这时他读到了一本书,改变了他的一生。这本书就是19世纪英国重要的思想家密尔(John Stuart Mill)的自传。艾德勒在读到密尔竟然是在五岁就读了柏拉图的书之后,不但为此哲学所着迷,也开始了他在大学的正式求学。(不过因为他拒绝上体育课,所以没能拿到学士文凭。但是他留校任教,最后拿到了博士学位。)【A】
      ⑤艾德勒除了任教,写过第一版的《如何阅读一本书》之外,还以主编过《西方世界的经典》,以及担任过1974年第十五版《大英百科全书》的编辑指导而闻名于世。
      ⑥查尔斯•范多伦和艾德勒一起工作后,一方面襄助艾德勒编辑《大英百科全书》,一方面把《如何阅读一本书》原来的内容大幅编辑增写,因此,今天我们读到的《如何阅读一本书》,作者是由艾德勒和查尔斯•范多伦共同领衔的。
      ⑦我因为对范多伦故事的好奇,而去买了《如何阅读一本书》。而最后满足的不只是我的好奇心,还有对阅读及出版的重新认识。
      ⑧一气读完后,有两种强烈的感觉。
      ⑨先是羞耻。我是个做出版工作的人,成日与书为伍,结果到那个春节前的两个月才知道这本书,到自己四十四岁这一年才读这本书,几乎可说无地自容。之外,也不免深感懊恼:如果在我初高中青少年时期,就能读到这本有关如何读书的书,那我会少走多少阅读的冤枉路?
      ⑩但,另一个感触则是:何其有幸。在出版业工作了二十多年之后才读到这一本书,与其说是不幸,不如说是有幸。【B】这么多年来,我在阅读的路上,思索固然很多,困惑也多,想清楚的有一些,想得模糊的更多。就如同书名《如何阅读一本书》所言,这本书帮我就读书这件事情的思索和困惑,作了许多印证和总结。如果没有经历这么多年的寻觅与颠簸,发现与失落,我读这本书的感受不会这么深刻,收获也不会这么丰富。因此不论就读者还是出版者的身份,我相信这本书都深远影响我的未来。
      ⑪因此,我必须谢谢介绍这本书给我的汪怡先生。谢谢他那天下午在来来饭店的指点。
      ⑫读这本书的时候,我还在台湾商务印书馆工作,所以一方面决定出版这本书,一方面也决定自己动手翻译。
      ⑬但是一旦开始翻译之后,就知道实际的时间多么不够。事实上,这本书几乎全部都是朱衣翻译的。我的工作,则是把她的全部译稿再仔细校阅一遍。这样我们经过很长一段时间的琢磨,才完成了全部工作。如果读者发现翻译上的疏失(一定不免),责任由我们共同承担。
      ⑭2003年3月31日亚马逊网络书店的排行榜上,《如何阅读一本书》排名第569名,历久弥新,由此可见。现在,就请好好享受这顿知识的盛宴。
