[00:25.43]In proportion to the degree in which it is felt will probably be the degree in which nobleness and beauty of character will be attained.	品德的高尚与美好所达到的程度可能与对美的感受程度成正比。
[00:34.71]Natural beauty is an all-pervading presence. The universe is its temple. It unfolds into the numberless flowers of spring. 	大自然的美无处不在，整个宇宙就是美的殿堂。美，在春日百花中绽放；美，在绿叶嫩枝间摇曳；
[00:42.89]It waves in the branches of trees and the green blades of grass. It haunts the depths of the earth and the sea. It gleams from the hues of the shell and the precious stone. 	美，在深海幽谷里游弋；美，在奇石与贝壳的缤纷色彩中闪烁。

[01:40.13]Beauty calms our restlessness and dispels our cares. Go into the fields or the woods; spend a summer day by the sea or the mountains, and all your little perplexities and anxieties will vanish. 	美使我们不安的心平静下来，也驱散了我们的忧虑。到田野或森林去，在夏日的海边或山上呆上一天，那么你所有微不足道的困惑与焦虑都会烟消云散。
