问题人生据说是一部大书。假使人生真是这样，那么，我们一大半作者只能算是书评家，具有书评家的本领，无须看得几页书，议论早已发了一大堆，书评一篇写完交卷。但是，世界上还有一种人。他们觉得看书的目的，并不是为了写书评或介绍。他们有一种业余消遣者的随便和从容，他们不慌不忙地浏览。每到有什么意见，他们随手在书边的空白上注几个字，写一个问号或感叹号，像中国旧书上的眉批，外国书里的Marginalia。这种零星随感并非他们对于整部书的结论。因为是随时批识，先后也许彼此矛盾，说话过火。他们也懒得去理会，反正是消遣，不像书评家负有指导读者、教训作者的重大使命。

选项

答案 People say life is one fat book. That being the case, more than half of our writers are only critics. Having acquired the skills of a critic, they glance through no more than a few pages before they make loads of judgments about the book. A review is finished and done. However, some people in this world read books for reasons other than having to write critical appraisals or commentaries. Carefree and relaxed as freelancers, they casually scribble a few words, a question, or an exclamation in the margin—like those headers in Chinese classics, or marginalia in foreign books, they jot down bits and pieces of notes written in a desultory fashion. These are not their impressions of the whole book. Since they make notes whenever a thought pops up, they might overdo their point, or they might contradict themselves later. But they couldn’t care less as they only do it for pleasure, unlike the critics whose main mission is to provide guidance for the reader and offer criticism to the author.
