问题 The stages of a writer’ s professional life are marked not by a name on all 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 an 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 作家写作生涯的各个阶段不是体现在办公室的门牌上，而是体现在油印的名字之中。依然记得父亲拎回一堆周末报纸的那个早上，那上面第一版有我的名字，以及我从保安处要来出版社新出的余温未散的报纸的那个晚上，那是我第一次发表专栏。但对我——一个联邦快递员来说，这些都不足以与有人将封面上印有我名字的精装书交给我的那天相比。但若我的作品是被下载到电子阅读器上，我不太确定那一刻是否会同样重要。 阅读不仅是对知识的追求，更是一种情感和精神诉求，因而，它幸存了。仍然有很多人热爱纸质书籍，至少目前如此，但如果这一点改变了，那么什么是书呢?难道这是它的主体，或灵魂吗?
