Section E Translation of Paragraph (10 points)
Directions: Translate the following paragraph into Chinese
Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. And therefore, if a man write little, he had need have a great memory; if he confer little, he had need have a present wit; and if he read little, he had need have much cunning, to seem to know that he does not. Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend. So if a man’s wit is wandering, let him study the mathematics; If his wit be not apt to distinguish or find differences, let his study the schoolmen; So every defect of the mind may have a special receipt.
