【正确答案】
1、正确答案:Although people in ancient times used to describe the books as vast as the ocean, the world of books truly eliminates the physical distance and makes the end of the world as near as the neighborhood. This is no idealistic analogy. No matter how huge the world is, the barrier is removed by books. The Budda sees the universe as worlds of the trichiliocosm, which is extremely enormous. Then what about the world of books? "The present realm" , " the past realm"and"the future realm"embrace everything in each of the three realms, within which we can manage to travel back and forth with great ease and learn from those masters at anytime we want, while staying at home. Who said that bookmen are shortsighted, cold-blooded and indifferent to affairs of the society? In fact, in the world of books, we can enrich ourselves and get acquainted with all kinds of people of different times and places. Those who visit the world of books frequently can at least get rid of some ignorance and gain a certain degree of wisdom. It is a pity that our physical body, invisible as we visit the world of books, is after all confined to this world. Without the insight of Buddha, who takes in all the human wisdom accumulated over thousands of years at one glance, we have to keep in mind what Zhuang Zi has said, "Life-span is finite while knowledge is infinite. " We are but insects with a fleeting lifetime(not even the insects the Monkey King turned into with his hairs), crawling our way into the world of books, pausing hither and thither, becoming speechless with exultation when we accidentally bump into a much-admired person or hear a few soothing words or occasionally find an answer to a pending question. I wonder if this sense of "joy" can be called "indulgence in pleasure".
