答案
Reading a Novel or Seeing a Movie Reading novels used to be a major entertainment for people in the 19th century and before. But since the invention of film at the end of the 19th century, people have gradually abandoned novels for movies to enjoy new stories. Nowadays novel readers are on a decline.
However, if I were to make a choice between reading a novel and seeing a movie for a story I have never heard of, I would still prefer the former.
The first reason to account for my preference of novels is that I can get the the real story.
/ As we know, a movie usually lasts for about two hours, and in order to finish the story in such limited time, the director has to adapt it, telling only the important part and leaving out much that he thinks as trivial. So what you see in a movie is in fact a partial story. But if you read a novel, you can get every word, and this can promise a more complete understanding of the story. /
Besides,
a movie is the director’s version of the story, because the director will color the story with his own understanding, and sometimes, there may be even adaptation or distortion. In my English literature class, we used to compare the movie of A Passage to India with the novel, and find as many as 26 changes, some of which are clear distortions by the director.
The second reason is that I can get more enjoyment from reading a novel.
/ When watching a movie, the story comes in the form of real pictures and sounds. Although it is concrete, it is fixed and allows no more interpretation. But when reading a novel, what I get is language, which I can easily turn into varied mental images and thus, appreciate it to a higher degree. /
For example,
when the story describes a beautiful scene, I can draw it in my mind in many different ways, and each mental picture can give me a different enjoyment. But in movies, there is only one version, so the pleasure is definitely decreased.
Lastly,
reading novels can help me with my language study, Although watching movies can improve my listening ability, reading novels can provide me with more comprehensive language training. For example, I can learn more new words and new sentence patterns. I can learn new ways to try in my writing. /
Besides,
reading novels takes much more time than watching a movie, and even if the information input is the same, a longer process can definitely help me more.
To sum up, I prefer reading a novel to watching a movie because I can get a more real story, more enjoyment, and more language practice.
These benefits can be very important for us English majors. I suggest teachers make the better booklist for students in the future, to cultivate good reading habits so that they can get more from their four-year stay on campus.
