A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
阅读
Reading
To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worth while. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.
读报纸就是不读有价值的东西。因此，教育的首要原则必须是坚决拒绝用呆板的喋喋不休来填满头脑。
In the library I felt better, words you could trust and look at till you understood them, they couldn't change half way through a sentence like people, so it was easier to spot a lie.
在图书馆里，我感觉好多了，你可以信任的词，你可以看着它们直到你理解它们，它们不会像人一样在句子中间改变，所以更容易识破谎言。
Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.
读一本书就像为自己重新写一遍。你把你的小说，你读过的任何东西，你对世界的所有体验都带入其中。你带着你的历史，用你自己的方式来阅读。
We read books to find out who we are. What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel... is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become.
我们读书来发现我们是谁。其他人，真实的或想象的，做了什么，想了什么，感觉了什么……是我们理解自己是什么和可能成为什么样子的重要指南。
I even feel guilty if I'm reading a novel, because I think I should be reading Homer again. I don't really know what free time is, because I don't have something to measure it against.
如果我在读小说，我甚至会感到内疚，因为我觉得我应该再读一次荷马。我真的不知道什么是空闲时间，因为我没有什么东西可以衡量它。
I turned down the first script offered to me, and the second. I lay on my back one day under an umbrella, in the garden, reading the third, and wondered why I had turned down the first.
我拒绝了第一个剧本和第二个剧本。有一天，我躺在花园里的一把伞下，读着第三本，不知道为什么我拒绝了第一本。
I think people enjoy reading about money, but the people who are in charge of giving me guidance tell me not to talk about it in interviews. Why not? That's what everybody thinks about.
我认为人们喜欢读关于钱的书，但是那些给我提供指导的人告诉我不要在采访中谈论钱。为什么不呢?每个人都是这么想的。
I think reading is important for a variety of things. I mean, first of all, it's a way to get information and find out what's going on in the world. But also, it helps your imagination.
我认为阅读对很多事情都很重要。我的意思是，首先，这是一种获取信息和了解世界上正在发生什么的方式。但它也有助于你的想象力。
Libraries allow children to ask questions about the world and find the answers. And the wonderful thing is that once a child learns to use a library, the doors to learning are always open.
图书馆允许孩子们提出关于世界的问题并找到答案。奇妙的是，一旦孩子学会使用图书馆，学习的大门总是敞开的。
There is a note in the front of the volume saying that no public reading may be given without first getting the author's permission. It ought to be made much more difficult to do than that.
在这本书的前面有一个说明，说没有得到作者的许可，公众不得阅读。这件事应该做得比这困难得多。
With Shakespeare and poetry, a new world was born. New dreams, new desires, a self consciousness was born. I desired to know to know myself in terms of the new standards set by these books.
有了莎士比亚和诗歌，一个新世界诞生了。新的梦想，新的欲望，一种自我意识诞生了。我想通过这些书所设定的新标准来了解自己。
And I tell ya, when I sit in that sound booth and started reading the script and starting to get into the character, man, it's an easy jump for me, because I understand what it's all about.
我告诉你，当我坐在录音棚里开始读剧本，开始进入角色时，伙计，这对我来说很容易，因为我明白这是怎么回事。
