Men often discover their affinity to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, "Love me, love my dog." But there is more wisdom in this: "Love me, love my book." The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.
A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.
Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time have been to sift out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.
Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe.
The great and good do not die, even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which on still listens.
选项
答案
人们常常因为同爱一本书而结为知己,就像有时两个人因为敬慕同一个人而成为朋友一样。有句谚语说:“爱屋及乌。”但“爱我及书”这句蕴涵更多的哲理。书是更真实而高尚的情谊纽带。人们可以通过共同喜爱的作家沟通思想、交流情感、产生共鸣。他们与这个作家思想相通、情感相融。 好书常如最精美的宝器,珍藏着人一生的思想精华,因为人生的境界主要就在于其思想的境界。因此,最好的书是座宝库,满载金玉良言和可贵的思想。珍藏并熟记于心,它们便成了我们忠实的伴侣和永恒的慰藉。 书籍具有不朽的本质,是迄今以来人类努力创造的最持久的成果。寺庙会倒塌,神像会朽烂,而书却经久长存。对于伟大的思想来说,时间无关紧要。很久之前初次闪过作者脑海的伟大思想时至今日清新如故。他们曾经的言论和思想刊于书页,读来依然鲜活生动。时间唯一的作用是淘汰不好的作品,因为只有真正的佳作才能经世长存。 书籍引导我们与最优秀的人为伍,让我们置身于历代伟人巨匠之间,如闻其声,如观其行,如见其人。我们同他们情感交融,悲喜与共,我们感受着他们的感受,觉得自己就像是和他们一起登场的演员,共同演绎他们描述的场景。 即使在这个世界,伟大杰出的人物也是永生不灭的。他们的精神被载人书册,传扬四海。书是一种充满生机和活力的声音,是人们至今仍在聆听的智慧之声。
解析
本文选自赛缪尔.斯迈尔斯(Samuel Smiles)的经典散文《书友》(Companionship of Books)。赛缪尔.斯迈尔斯是英国19世纪著名的社会改革家,也是位多产的随笔作家,写过许多脍炙人口的随笔,如《品格的力量》《人生的职责》《自己拯救自己》等。在《书友》一文中,他将交友与读书做类比,比喻形象生动。《书友》一文语言灵动,句式巧妙灵活,是值得背诵的经典佳作。
