A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
预测
Predict
I can't predict how reading habits will change. But I will say that the greatest loss is the paper archive - no more a great stack of manuscripts, letters, and notebooks from a writer's life, but only a tiny pile of disks, little plastic cookies where once were calligraphic marvels.
我无法预测阅读习惯将如何改变。但我想说的是，最大的损失是纸质档案——不再是一大堆手稿、信件和作家生活中的笔记本，而是一小堆磁盘，小小的塑料饼干，曾经是书法奇迹的地方。
