we are what we read英语作文 双语

摘录：通常看一个人读些什么书就可知道他的为人，就像看他同什么人交往就知道他的为人一样，因为有人以人为伴，也有人以书为伴。无论是书还是朋友，我们都应该以最好的为伴。

we are what we read：Companionship of Books

A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; 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.

A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.

通常看一个人读些什么书就可知道他的为人，就像看他同什么人交往就知道他的为人一样，因为有人以人为伴，也有人以书为伴。无论是书还是朋友，我们都应该以最好的为伴。

好书就像是你最要好的朋友。它始终不渝，过去如此，现在如此，将来也永远不变。它是最有耐心、最令人愉悦的伴侣。在我们穷愁潦倒、临危遭难时，它也不会抛弃我们，对我们总是一如既往的亲切。在我们年轻时，好书陶冶我们的性情，增长我们的见识;到我们年老时，它又给我们以慰藉和勉励。
