问题     It is simple enough to say that since books have classes-fiction, biography, poetry-we should separate them and take from each what it is right that each should give us. Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconceptions when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Be his fellow-worker and accomplice. If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read. But if you open your mind as widely as possible, then signs and hints of almost imperceptible fineness, from the twist and turn of the first sentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other. Steep yourself in this, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that your author is giving you, or attempting to give you, something far more definite.

答案 然而,很少有人思考书能给予我们什么。通常地,我们拿起书来,思想却很混乱认定小说就得说真故事;诗歌必然是虚假的想象自传必然充满恭维之辞历史将加剧我们的偏见。如果我们在阅读时摒弃这些偏见,那会是一个令人羡慕的开始。不要指使作者(要为己服务),而要站在他的立场,成为他的合作者和同谋。如果你一开始就迟疑却步,畏缩保守,带着批判,就不可能从你所读的书中获得其全部价值。但是,如果你心胸开阔,那么,你就会发现在曲折的开头里藏有细微的精致,把你带到一个活生生的人的面前。
