今天要讀的是林語堂先生《生活的藝術(shù)》一書中有關(guān)“閱讀的藝術(shù)”的第十二段。不知不覺從讀第一段開始，到現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)過去了近十二周的時(shí)間?；仡欉@些精度筆記的寫作，我覺得有兩點(diǎn)可以記錄一下：第一，對(duì)我自己來說，每周寫一篇要比每天寫一篇更容易堅(jiān)持。因?yàn)楣ぷ鳌⑸钣泻芏嗖豢煽匾蛩?，一天的時(shí)間相對(duì)于一周時(shí)間彈性太小，一旦一天的任務(wù)沒完成，又會(huì)給自己帶來負(fù)面的影響，所以以周為單位效果更好。第二，精讀的段落我會(huì)一個(gè)詞一個(gè)詞在電腦上寫一遍，除了練習(xí)打字速度外，更主要的是體會(huì)和欣賞，這樣比單純的閱讀效果更好。
繼續(xù)欣賞林語堂先生《生活的藝術(shù)》一書中有關(guān)“閱讀的藝術(shù)”的第十二段。
先看譯文：
這個(gè)問題解決之后，讀書的時(shí)間和地點(diǎn)問題也同時(shí)得到了答案，即讀書用不著特定的地點(diǎn)和時(shí)間。一個(gè)人覺得想讀書時(shí)，隨時(shí)隨地可讀。一個(gè)人倘懂得讀書的美妙，那么不論在學(xué)校里邊或?qū)W校外邊都可以讀，即使在學(xué)校里邊也不致妨礙他的興趣。曾國藩在家書中答復(fù)他的弟弟想到京師讀書以求深造時(shí)說：茍能發(fā)奮自立，則家塾可讀書；即曠野之地，熱鬧之場(chǎng)，亦可讀書；負(fù)薪牧承皆可讀書。茍不能發(fā)奮自立，則家塾不宜讀書；即清凈之鄉(xiāng)，神仙之境皆不能讀書。有些人在將要讀書時(shí)常想起許多的借口。剛要開始讀時(shí)，他會(huì)憎厭房里太冷，或椅子太硬，或亮光太烈，而說不能讀，還有些作家每每憎厭蚊子太多或紙張?zhí)?，或街上太鬧，而說無從寫作。宋代大儒歐陽修自承最佳的寫作時(shí)候乃是“三上”：即枕上、馬上和廁上。清代學(xué)者顧千里當(dāng)夏天時(shí)，?！奥愣x經(jīng)”，即以此得名。反之，一個(gè)人如若不愿意讀書，則一年四季之中也自有不能讀書的理由：“春天不是讀書天，夏日炎炎正好眠，秋去冬來真迅速，收拾書包過新年。"
再讀英文原著：
With this question solved, the question of time and place for reading is also provided with an answer. There is no proper time and place for reading. When the mood for reading comes, one can read anywhere. If one knows the enjoyment of reading, he will read in school or out of school, and in spite of all schools. He can study even in the best schools. Tseng Kuofan, in one of his family letters concerning the expressed desire of one of his younger brothers to come to the capital and study at a better school, replied that: "If one has the desire to study, he can study at a country school, or even on a desert or in busy streets, and even as a woodcutter or a swineherd. But if one has no desire to study, then not only is the country school not proper for study, but even a quiet country home or a fairy island is not a proper place for study." There are people who adopt a self-important posture at the desk when they are about to do some reading, and then complain they are unable to read because the room is too cold, or the chair is too hard, or the light is too strong. And there writers who complain that they cannot write because there are too many mosquitos, or the writing paper is too shiny, or the noise from the street is too great. The great Sung scholar, Ouyang Hsiu, confessed to "three on's" for doing his best writing on the pillow, on horseback and on the toilet. Another famous Ch'ing scholar, Ku Ch'ienli, was known for his habit of "reading Confucian classics naked" in summer. On the other hand, there is a good reason for not doing any reading in any of the seasons of the year, if one does not like reading:
To study in spring is treason;
And summer is sleep's best season;
If winter hurries the fall,
Then stop till next spring season.
我的思考和應(yīng)用：
"There is no proper time and place for reading. When the mood for reading comes, one can read anywhere. If one knows the enjoyment of reading, he will read in school or out of school, and in spite of all schools."? I agree with this. But if you? don't like reading. my advice is that why not go the the library or book shop today, pick up a book as long as there is something of the book that attracks you , or just open a book and read the content page and choose the chapter you have some interest.? The first book will lead you to the second ,the third...
