Racine and Humanist Culture

17世纪的法国剧作家让·拉辛，通过他青春期在皇家港口小学院接受的人文主义教育，用原始语言阅读欧洲经典作品，对其进行总结和摘录，或将其翻译成自然优雅的法语。古文阅读的严谨，与追求自然优美的翻译美学相结合，创造了拉西尼悲剧。

17th century French dramatist Jean Racine, through the humanist education he received during adolescence at the "Petites Ecoles" of Port-Royal, read european classics in the original langauges, making summary and extract or translating them into a natural and graceful French. The philological exactitude in reading ancient texts, combined with the aesthetics of translation which pursue natural and graceful expressions, enabled the creation of Racinian tragedy.
