I couldn't help but quote Tyrion lannister from the book 'Game of thrones' written by George R R Martin.This conversation follows when Tyrion was asked why he reads so much:
我忍不住要引用喬治·R·R·馬丁《權(quán)力的游戲》一書中提利昂·蘭尼斯特的話。下面的一段對(duì)話提利昂回答了為什么他愛閱讀。
“I have a realistic grasp of my own strengths and weaknesses. My mind is my weapon. My brother has his sword, King Robert has his warhammer,and I have my mind … and a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.” Tyrion tapped the leather cover of the book. “That’s why I read so much, Jon Snow.”
“我對(duì)自己的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)有一個(gè)很現(xiàn)實(shí)的把握。我的思想就是自己的武器。我的哥哥有劍，羅伯特國(guó)王有戰(zhàn)錘，而我有思想……思想需要書本來(lái)充實(shí)就如同劍需要磨石變鋒利一樣，來(lái)保持它的鋒利！
提利昂輕敲書皮，“瓊恩·雪諾，這就是為什么我一直閱讀的原因！

An old farmer lived on a farm in the mountains with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his book. One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I try to read the book just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?"
一位農(nóng)民和他的孫子一起住在山上的農(nóng)場(chǎng)里。每天早上，爺爺很早就起來(lái)了，坐在餐桌旁讀他的書。一天孫子問：“爺爺，我想跟你一樣讀這本書，但我讀不懂，我能理解但只要一合上書本我就忘記了。那讀這本書還有什么用呢？”
The grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, "Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water."
爺爺把煤放在爐子里靜靜的說(shuō)，“把這籃子煤提到河邊，打一籃子水回來(lái)。”
The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to move a little faster next time," and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead. The old man said, "I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You're just not trying hard enough," and he went out the door to watch the boy try again. At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got back to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, "See Grandpa, it's useless!"
小男孩照著爺爺說(shuō)的做，但是在他回來(lái)之前所有的水都漏了。爺爺大笑說(shuō)：“你下次要
速度快一點(diǎn)！比缓笏退睾舆呍僭囈淮巍＿@次小男孩跑快了一些，但是再他回到家之前籃子仍然都空了，他換成了水桶。爺爺說(shuō)：“我不是要一桶水，我是要一籃子水。你剛剛還不夠努力！睜敔敵鰜(lái)再看看小男孩。這個(gè)時(shí)候，小男孩才反應(yīng)過(guò)來(lái)這是不可能的，但是他又想表現(xiàn)給爺爺看，只要他跑的足夠的快，就能在回來(lái)之前還有水。小男孩再次把籃子放在河里裝水，然后快速奔跑，但是在他到爺爺那里的時(shí)候籃子又空了。他急踹氣說(shuō)：“爺爺你看，都是無(wú)用功哎！
"So you think it is useless?" the old man said, "Look at the basket." The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out.
爺爺問：“所以覺得這沒用？看看籃子！蹦泻⒖粗@子，第一次意識(shí)到籃子如此不同。從最先開始裝煤的破舊不堪到現(xiàn)在里里外外都干干凈凈。
Son, that's what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed,inside and out!!!
孩子，這就是你在讀書的時(shí)候所發(fā)生的。你可能讀不懂或者記不住書的內(nèi)容，但是當(dāng)你讀了，你就會(huì)從內(nèi)心到外表都會(huì)有所改變。
