论文部分内容阅读
A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps； for there is a companionship of books as well as of men； and one should always live in the best company， whether it is of books or of men.
通常看一个人读些什么书就可知道他的为人，就像看他同什么人交往就可知道他的为人一样，因为有人以人为伴，也有人以书为伴。无论是书友还是朋友，我们都应该以最好的为伴。
A good book may be among the best of friends. It always was， and it is the same today， and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in hard times. It always receives us with the same kindness； amusing and instructing us in youth and comforting us in age.
好书就像是你最好的朋友。它始终不渝，过去如此，现在如此，将来也永远不变。它是最有耐心、最令人愉悦的伴侣。在我们临危遭难时，它也不会抛弃我们，对我们总是一如既往地亲切。在我们年轻时，好书陶冶我们的性情，增长我们的知识；到我们年迈时，它又给我们以慰藉和勉励。
There is an old saying， “Love me， love my dog.” But there is more wisdom（智慧/哲理） in this：“Love me， love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think， feel， and sympathize with each other through their favorite writer. They live in him together， and he in them.
有句古谚语说道：“爱屋及乌。”其实“爱我及书”这句话蕴涵更多的哲理。书是更为真诚而高尚的情谊纽带。人们可以通过共同喜爱的作家沟通思想，交流感情，彼此息息相通，并与自己喜欢的作家思想相通，情感相融。
A good book is often the best urn of a life keeping the best that life could think out； for the world of a man’s life is， for the most part， but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words， the golden thoughts， which， remembered and valued， become our forever companions and comforters.
好书常如最精美的宝器，珍藏着人生的思想的精华，因为人生的境界主要就在于其思想的境界。因此，最好的书是金玉良言和崇高思想的宝库，这些良言和思想若铭记于心并多加珍视，就会成为我们忠实的伴侣和永恒的慰藉。
