读书也一样。
So is reading.
读书当然不等于娶妻嫁人,非得“从一而终”,一辈子厮守不可。换一种书或一类书来读,也不像离婚改行那么困难,更没有什么道德问题。但这决不等于说读什么书是无所谓的。书的意义,有时比配偶还重要。因为一个人一旦养成了读书的习惯,往往就终身爱读甚至只读某一类书。这些书会影响他一辈子,甚至决定他走什么样的道路,有什么样的思想等等。比如毛泽东,依我看就是线装书读多了。如果多读些翻译书,情况只怕就会两样。
Of course, reading is not equal to getting married. You have to "end up together" and stay together forever. It's not as difficult to change a book or a class of books to read as it is to divorce and change careers, and there's no moral problem. But it doesn't mean it doesn't matter what book you read. Sometimes the meaning of a book is more important than that of a spouse. Because once a person has formed the habit of reading, they often love reading or even read a certain kind of books for life. These books will affect his whole life, even decide what kind of road he takes, what kind of thoughts he has, and so on. For example, Mao Zedong read a lot of thread bound books in my opinion. If we read more translated books, we are afraid that the situation will be different.
即便书不等于偶,至少也近于友吧?读什么书,也就是交什么人。古人云:“不知其人而视其友”。依我看,也无妨说“不知其人而视其书”。要了解认识一个人(当然是指那些断文识字多少读点书的人),只要看他平时都读些什么书,也就能猜个八九不离十,甚至能猜出他的朋友都是些什么人。如果架上多为有思想有品位有份量的著作,自然“谈笑有鸿儒,往来无白丁”。相反,如果终日里尽读些不三不四的玩艺,则其人也难免会有些不三不四。不是说他人品一定不好,至少其品位就很可疑。
