　　we are what we read：Companionship of Books

　　A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.

　　A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.

　　好書就像是你最要好的朋友。它始終不渝，過去如此，現(xiàn)在如此，將來也永遠(yuǎn)不變。它是最有耐心、最令人愉悅的伴侶。在我們窮愁潦倒、臨危遭難時(shí)，它也不會(huì)拋棄我們，對(duì)我們總是一如既往的親切。在我們年輕時(shí)，好書陶冶我們的性情，增長(zhǎng)我們的見識(shí);到我們年老時(shí)，它又給我們以慰藉和勉勵(lì)。
