BOOKS
Perhaps no other thing has such power ： to lift the poor out of his poverty , to make a man forget his burden , as book . They are friends to the lonely , joy to the joyless and good cheer to the disappointed . They bring light into darkness , and sunshine into shadow . （或许没有别的东西像书籍那样具有这种力量：使穷人摆脱贫困,使一个人忘掉他的负担. 书籍是孤独者的朋友,是忧郁者的乐趣,是对失望者的安慰和鼓舞. 书籍能驱逐黑暗,使我们走向阳光的地方.）
We may be shut out from all personal association with the great and the good , but when we are reading , we may be in the best society in the world , where we may associate with the greatest and noblest of all times .（我们可能没有机会同伟人和善人交往,但是我们读书的时候可以置身于世界上最理想的社会之中,可以同历代最伟大、最高尚的人交往）
Books are a guide for the young . 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 . （书籍对年轻人是重要的.许多人生活趋势是好是坏,是成功还是失败,是由一本书决定的.童年读的书对我们影响最大.）
The greatest advantage of books doesn’t always come from what we remember of them , but from their suggestiveness . A good book like a good friend often serves to wake up our latent possibilities . We often find in books what we thought and felt , which we wish we could express ourselves .（书籍的最大益处并非总是来自我们记住的内容,而来自于书的启迪.一本好书就象好朋友时常激发我们潜在的能力.我们时常在书中发现自己所想和所感的东西.）
We form many of our opinions from our favorite books . The best books are those which have a wonderful power , and which stir us to make the most of ourselves and our opportunities .（我们许多想法都来自于我们特别喜爱的书籍.最好的书是那些具有奇异力量的书,是激励我们充分发挥自己的才能并充分利用机遇的书.）
Emerson had three rules for reading : never read a book that is not a year old ; never read any but famous books ; never read a book you do not like .（爱默生有三条读书规则：决不读问世不到一年的书；决不读不著名的书；决不读自己不喜欢的书.）
Whatever you read , read with enthusiasm , with energy , read with the whole mind , if you would increase your mental stature .（如果你想提高精神境界,那么不论你读什么,你都要满怀热情、精力充沛地阅读,一心一意地阅读.）
To carry a book with you wherever you go is old advice and good advice .（无论你到什么地方,都随身带一本书,这是古老的忠告,也是有益的忠告.） BOOKS
