4、麦考利既有财富又有声望,既有地位又有权势,然而他在传记中告诉我们,他生活中最幸福的时刻还是读书。他在给一个小女孩的一封信中风趣地写道:“谢谢你给我写了一封有趣的信。能叫我的小女孩愉快,我总是感到非常欣慰,没有什么能比看到她喜欢书籍更教我高兴的了。因为当她到了像我现在这样年龄的时候,她会发现,书籍比所有馅饼和糕点、玩具和游戏以及世界上所有的名胜更吸引人。真要是有人拥戴我为世上最显赫的国王,拥有宫殿花园、珍肴美味、佳酿华辇、龙袍华衮,以及成群成群的奴仆,但若不让我读书,我则决不愿为国王,我宁愿做一个穷人,与众多书籍为伴,蜗居阁楼斗室,也不愿成为一个不爱读书的国王。” 5. Books, indeed, endow us with a whole enchanted palace of thoughts, there is a wider prospect, says Jean Paul Richter, from Parnassus than from a throne. In one way they give us an even more vivid idea than the actual reality, just as reflections are often more beautiful than real nature. "All mirrors," says George Macdonald, "The commonest room is a room in a poem when I look in the glass." 5、事实上,书籍赋予我们一个思想魔宫。吉恩·保尔·里希特尔曾说,从帕纳萨斯看景色,比坐在宝座上看,视野更开阔。从某种意义上说,书籍给我们的形象比现实的东西更生动,正如影像往往比真实的风景更美丽。“书是反映现实的镜子,”乔治·麦克唐纳这么说过,“从镜子中看时,最普通的房间也是诗一样美的房间了。” 6. Precious and priceless are the blessings which the books scatter around our daily paths. We walk, in imagination, with the noblest spirits, through the most sublime and enchanting regions. 6、在我们日常生活的途程中,书籍所赐予的恩惠是最宝贵的、无价的。在无限的遐思中,怀着最崇高的精神,我们漫步在最高尚、最炫丽的境界。 7. Without stirring from our firesides we may roam to the most remote regions of the earth, or soar into realms where Spenser's shapes of unearthly beauty flock to meet us, where Milton's angels peal in our ears the choral hymns of Paradise. Science, art, literature, philosophy,—all that man has thought, all that man has done,—the experience that has been bought with the sufferings of a hundred generations,—all are garnered up for us in the world of books. 7、无须离开家门,我们便可遨游世界上最遥远的地方,可以飞到斯宾塞笔下的梦境般的王国,那里会有成群的仙女结队欢迎我们;也可飞到弥尔顿描绘的天国,那里天使们合唱的天国赞美诗如雷贯耳。科学、艺术、文学及哲学,所有这一切人类思想行为的结晶,还有我们祖祖辈辈经受了无数磨难而获得的经验,都为我们贮藏在书籍的世界里了。 本新闻共2页,当前在第2页 1 2
