Directions: Translate the following text into Chinese.
"To see the object as in itself it really is," has been justly said to be the aim of all true criticism what ever; and in aesthetic criticism the first step towards seeing one's object as it really is, is to know one's own impression as it really is. to discriminate it, to realize it distinctly. The objects with which aesthetic criticism deals--music, poetry, artistic and accomplished forms of human life--are indeed receptacles of so many powers or forces: they possess like the products of nature, so many virtues or qualities.
What is this song or picture, this engaging personality presented in life or in a book, to me? What effect does it really produce on me? Does it give me pleasure? And if so, what sort or degree of pleasure? How is my nature modified by its presence, and under its influence?
The answers to these questions are the original facts with which the aesthetic critic has to dm and ,as in the study of light, of morals, of number, one must realize such primary data for one's self, or not at all.
And he who experiences these impressions strongly, and drives directly at the discrimination and analysis of them, has no need to trouble himself with the abstract question what beauty is in itself, or what its exact relation to truth or experience metaphysical questions, as unprofitable as metaphysical questions elsewhere.
He may pass them all by as being, answerable or not, of no interest to him.
