A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
图书
Books
Never trust a man who reads only one book.
永远不要相信一个只读一本书的人。
The covers of this book are too far apart.
这本书的封面相隔太远。
These books are my friends, my companions.
这些书是我的朋友，我的伙伴。
All those big words produce disgust today.
如今，所有这些大词都令人反感。
The game itself is bigger than the winning.
比赛本身比胜利更重要。
All novels are sequels; influence is bliss.
所有的小说都是续集;影响幸福。
You're either reading a book or you're not.
你要么读书，要么不读书。
I love to lose myself in other men's minds.
我喜欢在别人的心目中迷失自己。
I love comic books and always did as a kid.
我喜欢漫画书，小时候总是这样。
People will perish, but books are immortal.
人会死，书却是不朽的。
It’s not easy to write a poem about a poem.
写一首关于诗的诗并不容易。
You'll never be alone if you’ve got a book.

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure.
不再有用的旧书和不再给人带来快乐的老朋友，都不应该被抛弃。
If a book is well written, I always find it too short.
如果一本书写得好，我总是觉得它太短了。
Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.
即使在文学和艺术领域，也没有人为原创而烦恼的人永远不会是原创的。相反，如果你只是想说真话(不在乎别人告诉你多少次)，十有八九你会在没有注意到的情况下变得原创。
The first time I read an excellent work, it is to me just as if I gained a new friend; and when I read over a book I have perused before, it resembles the meeting of an old one.
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。
Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.
文学为现实添彩，而不是简单地描述现实。它丰富了日常生活所需和提供的必要能力;在这方面，它灌溉着我们的生活已经变成沙漠的土地。
Good books, like good friends, are few and chosen; the more select, the more enjoyable.
好书如好朋友，又少又精;选择越多，享受越多。
