In Chicago, the mayor(市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book, One Chicago” program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.
The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in mediumsized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity (一致) can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.
Ultimately as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared_a_word.
【语篇解读】 西雅图图书管理员南希·珀尔发起了一项活动,倡导同在一个城市的人们同读一本书,其目的在于增强人们的团队意识,并促进人与人之间的交流和分享。通过活动发现,只有在中等大小的城市或大的城镇里这项活动才能得到较好的开展。
