经典英语名言说“看书”

“得成比目何辞死，愿作鸳鸯不羡仙”.比目鱼（flatfish）是两只眼睛长在一边的奇鱼，被认为需两鱼并肩而行，故名比目鱼。在我国古代，比目鱼是象征忠贞爱情的奇鱼，但在我，希望自己能够阅尽天下藏书，即使因此变为奇怪的比目鱼也无所谓。所以，读书是一种意境，不在于结果，而在于过程。
1. no entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure ao lasting. she will not want new fashions nor regret the loss of expensive diversions or variety of company if she can be amused with an author an her closet. (lady mary wortley montagu)
没有什么娱乐像读书一样廉价，也没有什么愉悦像读书这样持久。她既不会想要新的时装，也不会为没有参加昂贵的娱乐活动或者失去各种各样的朋友而感到遗憾，如果小书房里有一个作家能让她开心的话（玛丽*沃特里*蒙托格女士）
2. what i like best is a ook that's at least funny once in a while.what really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. that doesn't happen much, though. (j.d.salinger, u.s. author)

我最喜欢的是读起来不时使你会觉得好笑的一本书。真正使我钦佩的是这样一本书，当你从头到尾读完它后，你希望写它的作者是一位你极好的朋友，你能在你愿意的时候给他打电话。虽然，这种情况并不多见。（j.d.塞林格，美国作家）
3. these are not books,lumps of lifeless paper,but minds alive on the shelves; from each of them goes out its own voice and just as the touch on our set will fill the room with music, so by taking down one of these volumes and open it, one can call into range the vioce of a man far distant in time and space, and hear him speaking to us, mind to mind, hear to heart. (gilbert highet)
这些并不是书，并不是一堆无生命的纸，而是在书架上活生生的头脑。每一个头脑都发出自己的声音。正如我们按下音响的开关，音乐就会在室内萦绕一样，我们取下一部卷宗展开它，就可听到来自远古或异乡的一连串的声音，与我们娓娓道来。这是精神的对话，是心与心的交流。（吉尔伯特）
