在学校里,我们学会了人类所完成的一项最了不起也是最困难的技巧——怎样阅读。我们每个人都遇到过这样的事:读老师指定的书。老师指定读《白鲸》,我不想读,我不喜欢它,我以为我赢了。可实际上,我输了。我努力和《白鲸》保持一定的距离使我付出了代价——我失去了阅读名著本应得到的有益的东西。后来,我自觉地回到《白鲸》上来了,我喜欢它,而且每读一遍,我都发现一种新的乐趣。 In school, we learned one of the greatest and most difficult techniques that humans have accomplished—how to read. Every one of us has encountered such a thing: reading the book designated by the teacher. The teacher specified reading “Moby Dick”. I didn’t want to read it. I didn’t like it. I thought I had won. Actually, I lost. I tried hard to keep a certain distance from the “Moby Dick” and I paid the price - I lost the useful things that I should have had in reading the classics. Later, I consciously returned to the “Moby Dick”, I like it, and every time I read it, I found a new kind of fun.
