把这一句,留给此刻的你
Of all the inanimate objects, of all men’s creations, books are the nearest to us, for they contain our very thoughts, our ambitions, our indignations, our illusions, our fidelity to truth, and our persistent leaning towards error. But most of all they resemble us in their precarious hold on life.
在一切无生命的物体和人类的创造中,书籍是离我们最近的,因为它们包含了我们的思想、我们的雄心、我们的独立、我们的幻想、我们对真理的忠实和我们对错误的坚持。但最重要的是,他们与我们相似之处在于,他们对生活的把握岌岌可危。
