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.
人們常常因?yàn)橄矚g同一本書(shū)而結(jié)為知己，就像有時(shí)兩個(gè)人因?yàn)榫茨酵粋€(gè)人而成為朋友一樣。有句古諺說(shuō)道：“愛(ài)屋及烏。”其實(shí)“愛(ài)我及書(shū)”這句話(huà)蘊(yùn)涵著更多的哲理。書(shū)是更為真誠(chéng)而高尚的情誼紐帶。人們可以通過(guò)共同喜愛(ài)的作家溝通思想、交流情感，彼此息息相通，并與自己喜歡的作家思想相通，情感相融。
好書(shū)常如最精美的寶器，珍藏著人生思想的精華，因?yàn)槿松木辰缰饕驮谟谄渌枷氲木辰?。因此，最好的?shū)是金玉良言和崇高思想的寶庫(kù)，這些良言和思想若銘記于心并多加珍視，就回成為我們忠誠(chéng)的伴侶和永恒的慰藉。
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 e 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 the 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.
書(shū)籍具有不朽的本質(zhì)，是人類(lèi)努力創(chuàng)造的最為持久的成果。寺廟會(huì)倒坍，神像會(huì)朽爛，而書(shū)卻經(jīng)久長(zhǎng)存。對(duì)于偉大的思想來(lái)說(shuō)，時(shí)間是無(wú)關(guān)緊要的。多年前初次閃現(xiàn)于作者腦海的偉大思想今日依然清新如故。他們當(dāng)時(shí)的言論和思想刊于書(shū)頁(yè)，現(xiàn)在依然生動(dòng)如初。時(shí)間唯一的作用是淘汰不好的作品，因?yàn)橹挥姓嬲募炎鞑拍芙?jīng)世長(zhǎng)存。
書(shū)籍介紹我們與最優(yōu)秀的人為伍，使我們置身于歷代偉人巨匠之間，如聞其聲、如觀其行、如見(jiàn)其人，同他們情感交融、悲喜與共、感同身受。我們覺(jué)得自己仿佛在作者所描繪的舞臺(tái)上和他們粉墨登場(chǎng)。
即使在人時(shí)間，偉大杰出的人物也永生不滅。他們的精神被載入書(shū)冊(cè)，傳于四海。書(shū)是人們至今仍在聆聽(tīng)的智慧之聲，永遠(yuǎn)充滿(mǎn)活力。
