24、者发号施令，而应该尽量设身处地，与作者合作、共谋。如果你一开始就退而缩之，有所保留，而且对作者横加指责，你这是在自我设障，使自己无法从所读的书中获得最大的益处。但是，如果你能尽量敞开心扉，那么，开头几句迂回曲折的话里所包含的几乎不可觉察的细微和暗示，就会把你引领到一个独特的人物面前/U。倘若你能深入下去，熟悉这个人物，于是你很快就会发现，你的作者正在给予你，也许是竭力地在给予你，一些实实在在的东西。 意译 书，有门有类，如小说、传记、诗歌等等，所以，我们就应该把书分门别类，并从每个门类的书中汲取其理应给予我们的东西。这说来容易做来难。U实际上，很少有人合乎情理，要求从不同门类的书籍中得到它们所
25、能提供的东西。通常，我们读书时总是不分门类，与理相左，强求小说情节真实，诗歌内容虚构，传记阿谀奉承，史书加固我们原有的偏见。倘若我们读书时不带此成见，此开端必然可喜。不要让作者听从你，而应当竭尽全力，设身处地，与作者共谋，和作者同创。假如你退缩不前，有所保留，一开始读书便连批带评，这是自设障碍，使自己不能从书中最大受益。相反，如果你能尽量敞开心扉，那么，纵是开篇语言迂回曲折，所含的明标暗示微乎其微，近乎不可察觉，你也会心领神会，不知不觉，和一个独特的人物相会/U。深而入之，熟而悉之，你很快便发现，你的作者正在给予，竭尽全力地给予，而且他所给予的，超出想象，实实在在。)解析：解析 Blurred
26、 (minds)：不加鉴别，不分青红皂白。 divided (minds)：和他人(意见)不一致，找茬，英文解释是“disagreeing or differing in opinion”。常见的错误是望文生义，把该说法理解成“三心二意”。 banish：放弃，丢掉。常见的错误是把该词理解成“流放、逐放”。这个词有“流放、逐放”之义，也有“放弃、丢掉”之义，在这篇散文中该词的意思是后者，而不是前者。 preconception：成见，先人之见。 dictate：发号施令，要求他人绝对按照自己的意图做。 become him：站在作者的立场上，设身处地地看问题。2.On May 13, 1940
