Rationally, we know that reading is the foundation stone of all education, and therefore an essential underpinning of the knowledge economy. So reading is – or should be – an aspect of public policy. But perhaps even more significant is its emotional role as the starting point for individual voyages of personal development and pleasure. Books can open up emotional, imaginative and historical landscapes that equal and extend the corridors of the web. They can help create and reinforce our sense of self. 從理性角度來(lái)說，我們理解閱讀是所有教育的基石，因而也是知識(shí)經(jīng)濟(jì)必要的支撐。所以閱讀理所當(dāng)然應(yīng)當(dāng)是公共政策的一部分。但可能更重要的是，它作為通向個(gè)人發(fā)展和幸福旅程的起點(diǎn)時(shí)扮演的感性角色。與網(wǎng)絡(luò)相比，書籍在提升我們的情感、想象力和歷史觀方面更勝一籌。書籍也有助于創(chuàng)建和增強(qiáng)我們的自我感。 If reading were to decline significantly, it would change the very nature of our species. If we, in the future, are no longer wired for solitary reflection and creative thought, we will be diminished. However, technology throws up as many solutions as it does challenges: for every door it closes, another opens. So the ability, offered by devices like e-readers, smartphones and tablets, to carry an entire library in your hand is an amazing opportunity. Publishers need to use every new piece of technology to embed long-form reading within our culture. We should concentrate on the message, not agonise over the medium. We should be agnostic on the platform, but evangelical about the content. 如果閱讀能力顯著下降，人類的天性也會(huì)發(fā)生變化。如果我們將來(lái)不再自我反省、不再有創(chuàng)造性的思維，人類勢(shì)必會(huì)消亡。不過技術(shù)給我們帶來(lái)了很多挑戰(zhàn)的同時(shí)，也為我們提供了多種解決方案：每關(guān)閉一扇門，另一扇門就會(huì)打開。電子書、智能手機(jī)、平板電腦這些設(shè)備讓你在手中托起整個(gè)圖書館，這是一個(gè)絕好的機(jī)遇。出版商需要利用每一種新興技術(shù)把長(zhǎng)期閱讀融入到我們的文化中。我們應(yīng)該把注意力集中在信息本身，而不該為傳播載體而煩惱。我們應(yīng)該忽視平臺(tái)而專注于內(nèi)容。 We must also get better at harnessing the ability of the internet to inform readers, and potential readers, about all the extraordinary new books that are published every year, and to renew their acquaintance with the best of rich literary tradition. The research shows that if we stop reading, we will be different people: less intricate, less empathetic, less interesting. There can hardly be a better reason for fighting to protect the future of the book. 我們也要更好地利用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，為讀者也包括潛在的讀者提供每年值得看的新書信息，讓他們重新熟識(shí)豐富多彩的傳統(tǒng)文學(xué)精粹。研究表明，如果我們停止閱讀，我們會(huì)變得不同：沒那么精細(xì)、沒那么善解人意，沒那么有趣。再也沒有比這更好的理由來(lái)努力保護(hù)圖書的未來(lái)了。
