[00:15.19]31 Companionship of books书为友
[00:17.87]A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps；观其友而知其人，同样，观察一个人读些什么书就可知他的为人；
[00:23.73]for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.只因书与人一样，也能做人之友。无论是书还是人，我们都应该择其最佳者为友。
[00:34.46]A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that always was, and it will never change.一本好书可以成为人的挚友，古往今来，恒久不变。
[00:42.77]It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress.所有朋友中，书本最为耐心而又令人愉悦。我们身处逆境灰心沮丧时，书本并不背弃我们。
[00:51.88]It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.它对我们始终如一，友爱接纳。我们年轻时，书本给我们以欢娱和陶冶；我们年迈时，又予我们以慰藉和鼓励。
[01:02.84]Men often discover their affinity to each other by the love they have each for a book -------just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both have for a third. 人们常常因间爱一本书而精神共鸣，正如两个人有时因共同仰慕另外一人而彼此成为朋友。
[01:17.05]There is an old proverb: “love me, love my dog.”But there is more wisdom in this: “love me, love my book.”古谚云“爱屋及乌”，而“爱其人，也爱其珍爱之书”这句话里却含有更多的哲理。
[01:26.31]The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.书是更忠诚更高尚的情感纽带。人们可以通过共同喜爱的作者而相知相契，息息相通。他们的思想与作者的思想水乳交融，密不可分。
[01:40.00]“Books”, said Hazlitt, “wind into the heart; the poet’s verse slides in the current of our blood.黑兹利特曾说：“书香轻拂沁心灵，诗行轻滑渗血液。
[01:48.62]We read them when young, we remember them when old. We feel that it has happened to ourselves.青春时所读之书，垂暮时依然会回想，仿佛就在身边发乍。
[01:55.52]They are to be had very cheap and good. We breathe but the air of books.”书籍价廉物美，我们就在书香中呼吸。”
[02:02.15]A good book is often the best urn of a life, enshrining the best that life could think out；一本好朽往往就是作者的人生结晶，里面蕴藏着他穷其一生的求索成果。
[02:10.91]for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. 因为人一生的世界大多就是其思想的世界
[02:16.13]Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts,故而最优秀的书籍也就是至理名言和辉煌思想的宝藏。
[02:21.66]which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.这些思想若能铭记在心，就成为我们永久的朋友和永恒的慰藉。
[02:28.64]“They are never alone,”said Sir Philip Sidney, “that are accompanied by noble thoughts.”菲利普・锡德尼爵士说得好：“与高尚思想为伴的人永不寂寞。”
[02:35.20]The good and true thought may in times of temptation be as an angel of mercy purifying and guarding the soul.在我们受诱惑时，美好纯真的思想如同仁慈的天使，净化呵护着我们的灵魂
[02:44.04]It also enshrines the germs of action, for good words almost always inspire to good works.并蕴含着我们行动的萌芽，因为金玉良言总能激励我们美好的行为。
