42 智力的博弈

　　蔥湯麥飯兩相宜，蔥補(bǔ)丹田麥療饑。

　　莫道此中滋味薄，前村還有未炊時(shí)。

　　——朱熹《無題》

　　可不嘛，比上不足比下有余。不過，還不知道大蔥補(bǔ)丹田。

　　“Reading is a pleasure of the mind， which means that it is like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge make you a good reader. Reading is fun， not because the writer is telling you something， but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author’s or even goes beyond his. Your experience， compared with his， brings you to the same or different conclusions， and your ideas develop as you understand his.”

　　讀書也是一種智力游戲，與作者進(jìn)行智力的博弈。

　　“Every book stands by itself， but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate， together they all add up to something; they are connected with each other. The same ideas， or related ones， turn up in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature， but with different solutions according to different writings at different times.”

　　書和書之間的聯(lián)系，就像人和人一樣。
