Religio Medici, Hydriotaphia, and the Letter to a Friend

Browne is one of the best early examples of this school; his style, to quote Johnson himself, 'is vigorous but rugged, it is learned but pedantick, it is deep but obscure, it strikes but does not please, it commands but does not allure.'

布朗是这一学派早期最好的例子之一；他的风格，引用约翰逊自己的话来说，‘是有力但粗犷，是博学但学究气，是深邃但晦涩，它震撼却不令人愉悦，它指挥却不吸引人。’

Yet in spite of this qualified censure, there are passages in Browne’s works not inferior to any in the English language; and though his writings may not be 'a well of English undefiled,' yet it is the very defilements that add to the beauty of the work.

尽管有这种有条件的批评，布朗的作品中有些段落并不逊色于任何英语作品；虽然他的著作可能不是‘未受污染的英语之井’，但正是这些‘污染’增添了作品的美。
