六十一

读书是一种快乐，是一种享受，更是一种极致。一本好书，一杯香茗，便可送走一个苍白的早晨或风雪黄昏。

Reading is a kind of happiness, enjoyment and perfection. A good book and a cup of tea can send away a pale morning or a snowy evening.

不读书的人，不光人要变得浅薄，也将被社会的前进步伐所抛弃。

Those who don't study will not only become shallow, but also be abandoned by the progress of society.

我们读书，而后知道自己并不孤单。

We read, and then we know that we are not alone.

凡是没有读书癖好的人，就时间和空间而言，简直是等于幽囚在周遭的环境里边，他的一生完全落于日常例行公事的圈禁中。

As far as time and space are concerned, a person who does not have a habit of reading is simply confined to the surrounding environment. His life is completely confined to the daily routine.

一本好书就像看到一幅名画、听到一首名曲一样使我幸福而颤栗，读书其实是在读人生，许许多多的人生。

A good book makes me happy and tremble just like seeing a famous painting and listening to a famous song. Reading is actually reading life, many lives.

古今来许多世家，无非积德。天地间第一人品，还是读书。

Many aristocratic families in ancient and modern times are nothing more than accumulated virtues. The first character in the world is reading.

书籍是在时代的波涛中航行的思想之船，它小心翼翼地把珍贵的货物运送给一代又一代。

Books are the ships of thought sailing in the waves of the times. They carefully transport precious goods to generation after generation.

没有一艘非凡的战舰，能像一册书籍，把我们带到浩瀚的天地。

No extraordinary warship can take us to the vast world like a book.

书籍是屹立在时间的汪洋大海中的灯塔。

Books are lighthouses standing in the sea of time.

任何时候我也不会满足，越是多读书，就越是深刻地感到不满足，越感到自己知识贫乏。

At any time, I will not be satisfied. The more I read, the more deeply I feel dissatisfied and the less I know.

读书的意义大概就是用生活所感去读书，用读书所得去生活。

The meaning of reading is to read with what you feel in life and live with what you get from reading.

读书的目的，不在于取得多大的成就，而在于，当你被生活打回原形，陷入泥潭时，给你一种内心的力量。

The purpose of reading is not to achieve much, but to give you a kind of inner strength when you are beaten back into the original shape by life.
