我第一次读到一本优秀的作品,对我来说就像交了一个新朋友;当我读一本我以前读过的书时,它就像一本旧书的相遇。

Ernest Hemingway
欧内斯特·海明威
In a real sense, people who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read. It is not true that we have only one life to live; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.
从真正意义上说,读过优秀文学作品的人比那些不会或不愿读的人活得更长。我们并不是只有一次生命;如果我们能读书,我们就能过上更多的生活,过上我们想过的各种各样的生活。
