读不读书的人，隔一天看，没有什么区别；隔一个月看，差异甚微；但是，过一年、五年，甚至十年看，无论是精神状态亦或是气质都差异很大了。学生时代的读书，是为了追逐更远大的梦想，抓住更多机遇，那时候打得我们，很迷茫，学校、家人总是逼着自己读书，却不知道自己读的是什么。等上了大学，接触了社会，才发现，原来自己以前读过的书都转变成一种能力，或学习技能，或工作技能。

Reading is not just about learning a certain skill.

读书，不光是去学习一门特定的技能。

Nor is it just about learning how to create prettier combination of words.

也不只是为了学习怎样让文字的组合更优美。

Reading is a form of communication which is in a higher rank than mere conversation.

读书，其实是一种比对话更高级的交流方式。

Many successful people have shared the same kind of wisdom that if you want to become a kind of person you should try your best to spend time with this kind of people.

很多成功人士都曾分享这样一个经验：如果你想成为怎样的人，就尽量多和这样的人呆在一起。

If you want to become someone with good manner, you should try to make friends with people who have good manner.

如果你想成为一个有涵养的人，就尽力去交一些有涵养的朋友。

If you want to become someone learned, you should try to stay in touch with learned people.

如果你想成为一个博学的人，就应该去和博学的人交流。

If you want to become someone successful, you surely should communicate with those who are actually successful.

如果你想成为一个成功人士，那当然应该多和真正成功的人交流。

But unfortunately, outstanding people are usually far away from us. If you yourself are not outstanding enough, it's almost impossible for you to reach them.

但遗憾的是，优秀的人通常都很遥远，如果你自己不够优秀，那你几乎不可能触及他们。

And this is what reading is for. A book is the embodiment of a great mind. Through reading you can communicate with those great minds. And this kind of communication is beyond time and space.

这就是读书的意义了，书是优秀灵魂的凝聚，通过读书，你能和这些伟大灵魂进行跨时空的交流。

Reading can bring you out of the cage of your daily life. It shows you new opportunities that you've never seen.

读书能让你跳出生活的桎梏，为你打开前所未有的可能。

For a lot of people, this may be the only method to change their lives.

对于很多人来说，这可能是他们唯一能改变人生的手段。

No matter how busy you are, don't forget to spare some time to do it.

不管你多么忙碌，都别忘了挤出时间来做这件事。

If you don't find yourself time to read, you'll eventually find yourself without any time to live the life that you want to live.

 如果你不花时间读书，那你最终将没有时间过你自己的生活。

著名电影《卡萨布兰卡》有一句经典语录：你现在的气质里，藏着你走过的路，读过的书，爱过的人。不是说书本本身有什么神奇之处，而是通过读书这个行为，你能认识更多彩的世界，探寻复杂的人性，了解现实，感悟真理。“我读书就是为了避免遇到我不想遇到的人”，物以类聚人以群分，在平和英语这个大家庭里，每个人都在校长James的带领下都变得很爱读书，学生们的在做分享的时候也会推荐自己喜欢的书籍，这看似微不足道，但每个人一点点的正能量的确温暖了整个集体！
