35. Simplex Munditiis
——B. Jonson
Still to be neat, still to be dressed
As you were going to a feast;
Still to be powdered, still perfumed:
Lady, it is to be presumed,
Though art's hid causes are not found,
All is not sweet, all is not sound.
Give me a look, give me a face,
That makes simplicity a grace;
Robes loosely flowing, hair as free:
Such sweet neglect more taketh me
Than all the adulteries of art;
They strike mine eyes, but not my heart.
35 总是衣冠楚楚
琼生
总是衣冠楚楚，总是打扮齐整，
好像你要出门，赴人的宴请，
总是涂脂抹粉，总是香水洒身，
女士啊，我的话也许值得一听：
艺术背后的原因尚不为人知，
但它不是一概迷人，一概秀丽。
看着我，示我一张平常的面孔，
美其实就在这朴实无华之中；
衣衫轻轻飘动，头发自由披散，
如此的不经意反让我更加喜欢，
远胜过来自艺术的刻意装点，
因为艺术不能养心，只能养眼。
