In my opinion， reading should be enjoyable. Of course， there are many books that we all have to read. We read them in order to pass exams or to get information. Maybe we cannot get enjoyment from reading them. We read them for instruction. All we can hope is that these books are not too boring.

But that is not the sort of reading I have in mind. There are some books—they cannot help you to get a degree or to earn your living， but they can help you to live more fully. However， they cannot do that unless you enjoy reading them.

Everyone is his/her own best critic. The learned people may speak in praise of some books. But if you have no interest in them， they are none of your business.

Everyone must read books for pleasure. But the books that please one person may not please another. So choose the books you like. Read for pleasure!

譯文：

為快樂(lè)而讀書(shū)

在我看來(lái)，閱讀應(yīng)當(dāng)是愉悅的。當(dāng)然，有好多書(shū)我們不得不讀。我們?yōu)榱送ㄟ^(guò)考試，或是為了獲取信息而閱讀它們。也許從這樣的閱讀中我們無(wú)法獲得快樂(lè)，我們讀這些書(shū)是為了接受教育。我們最多只能希望這些書(shū)不要太令人厭煩。

然而，我心目中的閱讀不屬于這一種。有這樣一些書(shū)——它們既不能幫助你獲取學(xué)位，也不能幫助你掙錢(qián)謀生，但是它們能夠幫助你活得更加充實(shí)。但是，除非你喜歡閱讀它們，否則是無(wú)法做到這一點(diǎn)的。

每個(gè)人都是自己最好的評(píng)論家。有些學(xué)者會(huì)對(duì)一些書(shū)大加稱(chēng)贊。但是如果你對(duì)它們不感興趣的話，那么它們就與你毫不相干了。

每個(gè)人一定要為快樂(lè)而讀書(shū)。但是使一個(gè)人感到愉悅的書(shū)，不一定會(huì)讓另一個(gè)人喜歡。所以選擇你喜歡的書(shū)吧。為快樂(lè)而讀書(shū)！
