如果说我是对人物感兴趣，还有一些人对方式方法比对人更感兴趣。书中的人物包罗万象：从科幻小说中的未来2万年之后的超人，一直追溯到历史上的第一人，各种人物，无所不有；方式方法包括从夏洛克•福尔摩斯的奇妙推理到各种科学发现和教育孩子的方式，各种方法应有尽有。 读书可以愉悦心灵，也就是说读书有点像运动:你的渴望、知识和敏捷的反应使你成为一个好的读者。读书很有乐趣，不是因为作者在告诉你什么，而是因为读书使你开动脑筋。你和作者一同想象，你的想象甚至超出他的想象。与作者的经历相比，你的经历会使你得出与他相同或不同的结论，而当你理解了他的思想，你的思想也就得到了发展。 If I am interested in people, others are interested not so much in whom as in how. Who in the books included everyone from science-fiction superman two hundred centu¬ries in the future all the way back to the first figure in history ； how covers everything from the ingenious explanations of Sherlock Holmes to the discoveries of science and ways of teaching manners to children. Reading can make our mind feel pleased, which means that it is a little like a sport： your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something，but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works together with the author’s or even goes beyond his. Your ex¬perience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and yourideas develop as you understand his. |
