Reading a Novel or Watching a Movie, which do You Prefer to? 读小说还是看电影？

Reading novels used to be a mainstreamenjoyment in the past. However people got more interests in watching moviesthan reading novels after the movie came into our life. Then people diverge inthe question: which is the better enjoyment? For me, reading stories is morejoyful and I will give my reasons in the following.

在过去读小说通常是人们的一项主要娱乐活动。然而，当电影进入人们的生活之后，大家对看电影的兴趣比读小说的兴趣多。哪种方式的娱乐活动更好？对这个问题人们各自有不同的答案。对于我来说，阅读小说更具趣味，下面是我给出的原因。

Firstly, I can get more information aboutthe story and the characters in the novels. But a movie needs to display thestory in the limited period of time, usually about two hours. Therefore thedirector have to adopt the important part of the story and abandon the restparts, but these trivial plots draw more interests from the readers.

首先，我能够得到更多关于小说和小说里的人物的信息。但是电影只能在有限的时间里述说故事，通常是两个小时。因此导演不得不选取小说的重要情节并放弃其余的部分，但是这些不重要的情节也许更受读者喜爱。

The second reason is that I can get moreenjoyment from reading novels, especially the procedure of turning the plotsinto varied images in my brain. That is a real fantastic experience. Althoughby watching the movies I can get the concrete pictures and amazing sounds, itis different from my ideas and it makes me a little disappointed. Because themovies shows the directors' thoughts and versions about the novels, which donot satisfied me in the whole. Besides, some directors may do some changes andeven destroy the real stories, I think.
