閱讀的習(xí)慣
我讀了很多歷史書，一些哲學(xué)書和大量的科學(xué)書籍。我的好奇心太大了，使我根本就沒有多少時(shí)間來反思我讀的內(nèi)容。我?guī)缀醯炔患翱赐暌槐緯?，就急切地開始讀下一本。閱讀總是一個(gè)探索的過程，我總是興高采烈地開始讀一本名著，就像是一個(gè)有理智的小伙子急著要替自己的一方去擊球，或者一個(gè)漂亮的女孩急著要去參加舞會(huì)。經(jīng)常會(huì)有尋找新聞?lì)}材的記者問我，我一生中最激動(dòng)人心的時(shí)刻是什么。我可以大言不慚地說，是我開始讀歌德的《浮士德》的時(shí)候。
我從來就沒有失去過這種感覺，即使是現(xiàn)在，翻開一本書的前幾頁有時(shí)也會(huì)使我熱血沸騰。對我來說，閱讀就是休息，就像其他人會(huì)選擇閑聊或者打牌。不只如此，閱讀是我生命中的必需。一刻不能閱讀，我就會(huì)煩躁不安，就像一個(gè)癮君子沒有了毒品。如果沒有東西可讀，我就會(huì)去讀時(shí)刻表或者產(chǎn)品目錄之類的東西。
Lesson14 Habit of Reading
I read a lot of history, a little philosophy, and a good deal of science. My curiosity was too great to allow me to give much time to reflect on what I read; I could hardly wait to finish one book, so eager was I to begin another. This was always an adventure, and I would start upon a famous work as excitedly as a reasonable young man would go in to bat for his side or a nice girl goes to a dance. Now and then journalists in search of copy ask me what the most thrilling moment of my life is. If I were not ashamed to say, I might answer that it is the moment when I began to read Goethe's Faust.
I have never quite lost this feeling, and even now the first pages of a book sometimes send the blood racing through my veins. To me reading is a rest as to other people conversation or a game of cards. It is more than that; it is a necessity, and if I am deprived of it for a little while I find myself as irritable as the addict deprived of his drug. I would sooner read a timetable or a catalogue than nothing at all.
