去年一年,除了看些报刊外,竟没有完整地读一本书。读《社会契约论》,不足200页的书,用了一个夏天,也仅读了二分之一。后来看到书店卖《瓦尔登湖》,见译者在序言开头便写道:你能把你的心安静下来吗?如果你的心并没有安静下来,我说,你也许最好先把你的心安静下来,然后你再打开这本书,否则你也许会读不下去,认为它太浓缩,难读,艰深,甚至会觉得它莫明其妙,莫知所云。 Last year, in addition to reading some newspapers, actually did not read a book. Read “Social Contract Theory”, less than 200 pages of the book, spent a summer, read only one-half. Later, when I saw the bookstore selling “Walden Lake,” the translator wrote at the beginning of the preface: Can you calm down your heart? If your heart is not quiet, I said, you may be best off first Quiet heart, and then you open the book, or you may not be able to read it, think it is too concentrated, difficult to read, difficult, and even feel it is inexplicable, knowing everything.
