A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
阅读
Reading
The more you read, the better you get, the more better you get, the more you like it; and the more you like it, the more you do it.
你读的书越多，你得到的就越多，你得到的越多，你就越喜欢它;你越喜欢它，你就做得越多。
Books are the ultimate Dumpees: put them down and they’ll wait for you forever; pay attention to them and they always love you back.
书是终极的哑巴:把它们放下，它们会永远等你;关注他们，他们也会爱你。
Read a lot. Expect something big, something exalting or deepening from a book. No book is worth reading that isn't worth re-reading.
多读书。从书中期待一些大的东西，一些提高或深化的东西。不值得重读的书就不值得读。
In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.
就好书而言，重点不是看你能读多少本，而是看你能读多少本。
The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.
未读的故事不是故事;木浆上有小黑点。读者，读它，使它活:一个活的东西，一个故事。
Travelling is a great time to catch up on my reading. It's hard falling asleep in new places, but a good book always makes it easier.
旅行是一个很好的时间来赶上我的阅读。在陌生的地方很难入睡，但是一本好书总能让你更容易入睡。
If all printers were determined not to print anything till they were sure it would offend nobody, there would be very little printed.
如果所有的印刷商都下定决心不印刷任何东西，除非他们确信这样做不会冒犯任何人，那么印刷出来的东西就会很少。
I spent the rest of the day in someone else's story. The rare moments that I put the book down, my own pain returned in burning stabs.
今天剩下的时间我都在听别人的故事。在我把书放下的那些难得的时刻，我自己的痛苦又回到了刺痛的感觉中。
Reading the Bible will help you get to know the word, but it’s when you put it down and live your life that you get to know the author.
阅读圣经会帮助你认识这个词，但只有当你放下圣经，过自己的生活，你才能认识作者。
I was raised among books, making invisible friends in pages that seemed cast from dust and whose smell I carry on my hands to this day.
我在书堆中长大，结交了许多看不见的朋友，他们的书页仿佛是从尘土中撒下的，他们的气味我一直带在手上，直到今天。
I really had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think a great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a chance to read a lot.
当我还是个孩子的时候，我真的有很多梦想，我想其中很大一部分是因为我有机会读了很多书。
For a moment I was distracted. Books always did that to me... I liked the creamy pages, the smell of ink, all the secrets locked inside.
我一时心烦意乱。书总是这样对我……我喜欢奶油色的书页，墨水的味道，所有被锁在里面的秘密。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I never desire to converse with a man who has written more than he has read.
我从来不想和一个写得比读得多的人交谈。
When I read great literature, great drama, speeches, or sermons, I feel that the human mind has not achieved anything greater than the ability to share feelings and thoughts through language.
当我阅读伟大的文学作品、伟大的戏剧、演讲或布道时，我觉得人类的心灵除了通过语言来分享情感和思想外，没有取得任何更大的成就。
How pleasant it is to spend an evening in this way! I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
这样度过一个晚上是多么愉快啊!我声明，毕竟没有什么享受像阅读!一个人对任何事情的厌倦都比厌倦一本书快得多!要是我有了自己的房子，要是没有一间漂亮的书房，那才叫可怜呢。
Men of power have no time to read; yet the men who do not read are unfit for power.
有权势的人没有时间读书;不读书的人，不配得权柄。
All that mankind has done, thought or been: it is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of books.
人类所做的、想过的或曾经做过的一切，都像魔法一样保存在书页之中。
Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.
书是飞机、火车和道路。它们是目的地，也是旅程。他们都回家了。
