[范例赏析] Owning Books William Phelps 论　藏　书 威廉·菲尔普斯 The habit of reading is one of the greatest resources of mankind; we enjoy reading books that belong to us much more than if they are borrowed. A borrowed book is like a guest in the house; it must be treated with punctiliousness, with a certain considerate formality. 读书的习惯是人类学得知识的最重要的方法之一；我们在阅读属于自己的书时所得到的乐趣，远远大于阅读借来的书时所得的乐趣。一本借来的书就像是家里的一位客人，必须小心翼翼地，以一种十分周到的态度来对待。 You must see that it sustains no damage; it must not suffer while under your roof. You cannot leave it carelessly, you cannot mark it, you cannot turn down the pages, you cannot use it familiarly. And then, some day, although this is seldom done, you really ought to return it 你务必使它完好无损，使它在家里不遭破坏。你不能漫不经心地随手乱放，你不能在书里做记号，你不能折书页，你不能随便使用它。而且，有一天你得将它归还原处，尽管你很少做到这一点。 But your own books belong to you; you treat them with that affectionate intimacy that annihilates formality. Books are for use, not for show; you should own no book that you are afraid to mark up, or afraid to place on the table, wide open and face down. 但是你自己的书是属于你的，你可以毫无拘束地用一种深情的亲昵态度来对待它们。藏书是为了使用，不是为了炫耀；你害怕做上记号的书，或者不敢摊开翻转过来放在桌上的书，你就不应该拥有它们。 A good reason for marking favorite passages in books is that this practice enables you to remember more easily the significant sayings, to refer to them quickly, and then in later years, it is like visiting a forest where you once blazed a trail. You have the pleasure of going over the old ground, and recalling both the intellectual scenery and your own earlier self. 在书内你所喜欢的段落标上记号的一个重要原因是，这种做法可以使你更容易地记住那些重要的话，很快地查阅它们，若干年后再读到时，就像来到一座你曾在树皮上刻过印痕的森林。你会享受一种重游故地的乐趣，回忆起寓意深邃的景色和你本人早期的自我。 Everyone should begin collecting a private library in youth; the instinct of private property, which is fundamental in human beings, can here be cultivated with every advantage and no evils. One should have one’s own bookshelves, which should not have doors, glass windows, or keys; they should be free and accessible to the hand as well as to the eye. 每一个人都应在青年时期就始搜集和收藏书籍；人占有私有
