Reading Makes A Full Man
【正确答案】[范文]
   There is a famous saying that reading makes a hill man, which reveals how important and beneficial reading could be and encourages people to do more good reading.
   For one thing, books can provide people with knowledge and make them fully-educated and well-informed in various ways. For example, reading professional books can prepare people for better fulfillment of their jobs. For another, people can experience various lives through pages of books, which otherwise can never be realized in a man's limited life. So reading can enrich people's life experience and broaden their vision. In addition, Reading does good to our mind. Good books are always ready to show us the truth, beauty and goodness in life and give us delight, satisfaction and encouragement.
   Indeed, the significance of reading can never be overvalued. However, it must be realized that people should be cautious when deciding which books to read since reading bad books is time-wasting and harmful. Read more good books in your limited life, and reading will make you a full man.

[参考译文] 有句名言说得好:“读书使人完善”。这句名言揭示了读书的重要性和有益性,鼓励人们多读好书。
   首先,书籍能够给人提供知识,使人们在各个方面都受到全方面教育,见多识广。比如说,读一本专业书籍能够让人们更好地完成工作。其次,人们能够在书中体验到各种各样的生活,而这些在有限的人生里不可能全部完成。所以读书能丰富人们的生活阅历,扩宽人们的视野。除此之外,读书还对我们的心灵有好处。一本好书总是在展示生活中的真善美,给我们以愉悦、满足和鼓励。
   读书的重要性确实不能被高估。然而,我们必须认识到,当决定看哪一本书时,我们得小心谨慎,因为读不好的书既浪费时间又有害处。在你有限的人生里,读更多的好书吧,读书会使你完善。
