The table before which we sit may be,as the scientist maintains,composed of dancing atoms,but it does not reveal itself to us as anything of the kind,and it is not with dancing atoms but a solid and motionless object that we live.So remote is this “real”table——and most of the other “realities”with which science deals——that it cannot be discussed in terms which have any human value,and though it may receive our purely intellectual credence (智力的凭证)。it cannot be woven into the pattern of life as it is led,in contradistinction(distinction by contrast)to life as we attempt to think about it .Vibrations in the ether(乙醚)are so totally unlike,let us say,the color purple that the gulf between them cannot be bridged,and they are,to all intents and purposes,not one but two separate things of which the second and less “real”must be the most significant for us.And just as the sensation

(大纲中的词义：感觉、知觉；激动，轰动，轰动一时的事)which has led us to attribute an objective reality to a non——existent thing which we call “purple”is more important for human life than the conception of vibrations of a certain frequency,so too the belief in God,however ill——founded,has been more important in the life of man than the germ theory of decay,however true the latter may be.

We may,if we like,speak of consequence,as certain mystics(神秘主义者)love to do ,of the different levels or orders of truth.We may adopt what is essentially a Platonistic trick of thought and insist upon postulating(假定)the existence of external realities which correspond to the needs and modes of human feeling and which ,So we may insist,have their being(existence)in some part of the universe unreachable by science.But to do so is to make an unwarrantable assumption and to be guilty of the metaphysical fallacy(形而上学的谬论)of failing to distinguish between a truth of feeling and that other sort of truth which is described as a “truth of correspondence(符合真理，是一种理论，认为一切与认识对象相符合的认识就是真理)”and it is better perhaps,at least for those of us who have grown up in an age of scientific thought,to steer(大纲中的词义：驾驶、掌舵)clear of such connfusions and to rest content with the admission that,though the universe with which science deal is the real universe,yet we do not and cannot have any but fleeting and imperfect contacts(短暂而不完善的联系)with it ;that the most important part of our lives——our sensations,emotions,

    desires,and aspirations(strong desires)——takes place in a universe of illusions which science can attenuate(reduce)or destroy,but which it is powerless to enrich.

    1.The author suggests that in order to bridge the puzzling schism(separation)between scientific truth and the world of illusion,the reader should________.
    [A]try to rid himself of his world of illusion(false idea)
    [B]accept his world as being one of illusion
