问题 The stages of a writer’s professional life are marked not by a name on an office door, but by a name in ink. There was the morning when my father came home carrying a stack of Sunday papers because my byline was on page one, and the evening that I persuaded a security guard to hand over all early edition, still warm from the presses, with my first column. But there’s nothing to compare to the day when someone hands over a hardcover book with your name on the cover. I’m just not sure the moment would have had the same grandeur had my work been downloaded instead into an e-reader.
Reading is not simply an intellectual pursuit but an emotional and spiritual one. That’s why it survives. There are still millions of people who like the paper version, at least for now. And if that changes—well, what is a book, really? Is it its body, or its soul?
选项
答案 一位作家写作生涯的各个阶段并不是体现在办公室门牌的名衔上，而是体现在油墨印刷的姓名上。某天清晨，父亲拿着一摞星期日晨报回到家，报纸首页上有我的文章，我的名字赫然纸上；某天晚上，我软磨硬泡终于说服保安人员给了我一份刚刚印出来的还存留着印刷温度的报纸，上面有我的第一个专栏作品。然而，有人把印着你的大名的精装本递给你的那一刻是无可比拟的。假如我的作品不是印刷成册而是被下载到电子阅读器的话，我不确定那一刻我是否会同样风光无限。 阅读不仅仅是对知识的追求，更是一种对情感和精神的追求。正因如此，书本才流传至今。仍有数百万人喜欢阅读纸质书籍，至少现在是这样。如果情况发生了变化——那么，到底什么是书?真正的书。是它的形式还是它的灵魂?
