第五篇：《治学》阅读练习附翻译与答案
治学 (东汉)徐幹
①昔之君子成德立行，身没而名不朽，其故何□?学也。
②学也者，所以疏神达思，怡情理性，圣人之上务也。民之初载，其矇未知。譬如宝在于玄室①，有所求而不见，白日照焉，则群物斯辩矣。学者，心之白日也。
③学犹饰也，器不饰则无以为美观，人不学则无以有懿德。有懿德，故可以经人伦;为美观，故可以供神明。
④夫听黄钟之声，然后知击缶之细;视衮龙之文，然后知被褐之陋;涉庠序之教，然后知不学之困。故学者如登山焉，动而益高;如寤寐焉，久而愈足。顾所由来，则杳然其远，以其难而懈之，误且非矣。
⑤倚立而思远，不如速行之必至也;矫首而徇飞，不如修翼之必获也;孤居而愿智，不如务学之必达也。故君子心不苟愿，必以求学;身不苟动，必以从师;言不苟出，必以博闻。
⑥君子之于学也，其不懈，犹上天之动，犹日月之行，终身亹亹②，没而后已。故虽有其才而无其志，亦不能兴其功也。志者，学之帅也;才者，学之徒也。学者不患才之不赡，而患志之不立。是以为之者亿兆，而成之者无几，故君子必立其志。
【注】①玄室：暗室。②亹亹：勤勉不倦的样子。

23、本段以宝物在暗室让人难以发现来比喻人因不学而处于蒙昧的状态，以太阳能够照亮暗室让人发现宝物来比喻学能够消除人的蒙昧，把抽象的道理形象化。
24、D
25、该段句式整齐和谐，节奏感强，富有气势，有力地论述了治学要付诸行动的道理。
26、作者首先强调治学是个漫长的过程，需要坚持不懈，引出立志的重要性;再论述志与才的关系，强调了志的主导作用;在此基础上得出一定要立志的结论。
翻译
从前的君子，能够成就高尚的道德、建立卓越的品行，形体死亡而名不朽灭，是什么原因呢?那就是学习。
学习是用来通明精神、畅达思想、和悦情绪、修养品性的手段，是圣人最为看重的事情。人刚出生的时候，蒙昧无知，就好像珍宝放在暗室里，想寻找却看不出，太阳的光辉一照进去，各种东西都一目了然。学习，就是心灵的太阳。
学习就好像是修整装饰，器物不加修饰，就无法获得美丽的外观;人不学习，也就无法拥有美好的品德。具备美好的品德，才可以妥善处理人与人之间的关系;做得美观好看，才可以供寄给神祇祖先。
聆听了黄钟的声音，然后才知道叩击瓦罐所发出的声音是多么的细小;目睹了帝王礼服上的绣龙纹饰，然后才知道自己所穿的粗布短衣是多么的粗劣;接受过学校的教育，然后才知道不学习的困惑。所以学习这件事，就好像是登山，越走越高;就好像是睡眠，越久越充足;回顾学习活动的来由，就遥远渺茫了，但因为它难而懈怠，这就不仅认识错误，而且行为完全不对了。
倚物伫立而想着到远方去，不如立即行走定能抵达，举仰着头而想追随鸟儿翱翔长空，不如自己修治翅膀定能实现，孤身独处而希望获取智慧，不如努力学习定能达到目的。所以，君子的心灵不随便幻想，而是一定要努力学习，自身不轻举妄动，而是一定要追随老师;说话不信口开河，而一定要广泛听取。
君子对于学习，其坚持不懈的精神，就好像是天空的运转，就好像是日月的运行，终身勤勉不倦，死而后已。因此，尽管有资质，而无志向，也不能够建立他的功业。志向是学习的主要，资质是学习的次要。求学的人不担心才学不富足，而怕志向没有确立。所以，自古至今致力学习的人成千上万，不计其数，而有所成就的人却寥寥无几。因此，君子一定要确立他的志向。
