问题     美德好比宝石,在朴素背景的衬托下反而显得更加华丽。同样,一个打扮并不华贵,却端庄、严肃且具有高尚美德的人是令人肃然起敬的,这与所谓的外表美毫无关系。
    美貌的人并不见得在品德上也会显得出众,就仿佛天地在创造万事万物之时,只求无过,不求完美一样。因此,美男子有才而无壮志,重行而不重德。但这种观点也并非绝对,比如罗马的奥古斯塔斯-恺撒、提图斯-菲斯帕斯,法国俊美的菲利普,英国国王爱德华四世,雅典的阿尔西巴底斯,波斯王伊梅尔等,他们不但是品德高尚的人,而且,他们又是各自时期远近闻名的美男子。
    就美而言,形体之美要胜于外貌之美,而端庄优雅的行为之美又胜于形体之美。最高境界的美是无法用图画表现出来的,也无法在生活中一眼看透。每种绝妙之美都有其独特之处。没有人可以告诉我们阿佩利斯与艾伯特-杜勒二人谁更玩世不恭,他们一个是按照几何比例描绘人像,另一个则通过选取不同人身上的最佳部位创造出最完美的画像。

选项

答案     Virtue is like a rich stone, best plain set; and surely virtue is best, in a body that is comely, though not of delicate features; and that hath rather dignity of presence, than beauty of aspect.
    Neither is it almost seen, that very beautiful persons are otherwise of great virtue; as if nature were rather busy, not to err, than in labor to produce excellency. And therefore they prove accomplished, but not of great spirit; and study rather behavior, than virtue. But this holds not always: for Augustus Caesar, Titus Vespasianus, Philip le Belle of France, Edward the Fourth of England, Alcibiades of Athens, Ismael the Sophy of Persia, were all high and great spirits; and yet the most beautiful men of their times.
    In beauty, that of favor, is more than that of color; and that of decent and gracious motion, more than that of favor. That is the best part of beauty, which a picture cannot express; no, nor the first sight of the life. There is no excellent beauty, that has not some strangeness in the proportion. A man cannot tell whether Apelles, or Albert Durer, were the more trifler; whereof the one, would make a personage by geometrical proportions; the other, by taking the best parts out of divers faces, to make one excellent.
