　　My thoughts on Books

　　Books may be the source of good or evil. What we all expect from them， of course， is benefit. In books there are many useful things for us， but we must distinguish between the good and the bad. Good books are not only our teachers but also our friends. This is illustrated by the lines：“My never-failing friends are they， with whom I converse day by day.”It must be noticed， however， that some books are written with no other purpose except to make money. They contain matters of no importance and may even spoil the character of their readers. Such books must be avoided absolutely.

　　Without books， histories cannot be written and knowledge cannot be spread and handled down through the generations. Every country has its own sacred books. In European countries， the Bible， which contains the teaching of Jesus Christ， prevails， while in China， the“Four Books”， conveying the thoughts and principles of Confucius and Menaces， are widely read. Each country finds her books suitable and useful to her people.

　　「评语」

　　作者将书分为好书和坏书，提醒人们要警惕坏书对character的腐蚀，着重叙述了书的积极作用。所有引用的对书的评价贴切到位。至于所说的“四书”在中国popularly read，却也不尽然。读坏书，有如交损友
