Books are a guide in youth and an entertainment for age. They support us under solitude. And keep us from being a burden to ourselves. —— Jeremy Collier “书籍是年轻人的向导，老年人的消遣。它帮助我们排解孤寂，摆脱精神负担。” —— 杰里米·克里尔 The only true equalizers in the world are books; the only treasure-house open to all comers is a library. —— Dr.Langford “世间唯一真正平等待人者是书籍；唯一开放的来者不拒的宝库是图书馆。” —— 兰格弗博士 We may be poor, socially ostracized, shut out from all personal association with the great and the good, and yet be in the best society in the world, in books. We may live in palaces, converse with princes, be familiar with royalty, and associate with the greatest and noblest of all time. 我们可能卑微，被社会遗忘，没有机会与那些大人物和上流人士交往。但是，在书中，这个世界上最美好的社会—我们可以住在宫殿，同王子交谈，熟悉所有王室成员，始终与最伟大、最高尚的人来往。 The trend of many a life for good or ill, for success or failure, has been determined by a single book. The books which we read early in life are those which influence us most. 一本书会决定一个人的人生是美好还是糟糕，是成功还是失败。我们早年度过的一些书，会对我们产生深远的影响。 |
