In fact, you’d rather buy a new copy of a book for a friend than let her borrow your personal copy...

實(shí)際上，你寧愿給朋友買一本新書也不愿把自己的書借給她……

...because everyone knows there’s nothing worse than bent spines and dog-eared pages, that is, if you ever even SEE the book again.

Holidays are just another excuse to share classics and hidden gems with your friends and family; never mind their looks of disappointment upon receiving War and Peace instead of the latest gadgets, or even, like, a cool tie.

假期只不過是另一個(gè)跟你的朋友和家人分享經(jīng)典書籍和私藏書的借口而已，至于他們因?yàn)槭盏降亩Y物是《戰(zhàn)爭與和平》而不是最新潮的科技產(chǎn)品甚至是一條很酷的領(lǐng)帶而大感失望的樣子，你根本不會在意。
