　　As the old Chinese saying goes, only through reading thousands of books can one write fluently. It echoes with this picture in which a book is smiling with a symbolic candlelight on its top, indicating the enlightenment from books. The title of the picture further points out that reading books can enlighten and develop our thoughts with the help of other’s thinking.

　　The picture is meant to encourage people to read more books. As far as I am concerned, I think books are a treasury of all knowledge accumulated over thousands of years. Via reading books, we can not only learn what mankind has achieved, but can also be greatly inspired to develop and innovate on the basis of existing knowledge. This universal truth can be particularly proven in the academic field, where reading all previous literature of a specific discipline is of elementary significance to laying the foundation for new discoveries.

　　A brief review of history about famous people with great accomplishments also demonstrates the fundamental importance of book-reading. Karl Marx, for example, had read so many books in the British Library before his writing of new theories that his footprints were left on the ground of the seat where he usually sat. The same principle applies to common people as well, and I am sure everybody can benefit from good books.

　　譯文：

　　中國古語有云：讀書破萬卷，下筆如有神。這正符合該圖中的意境，上面一本帶著笑臉的書點燃了其頂部有象征意義的燭光，指明了書本啟蒙功能。該圖的題目進一步指出了讀書就是借助他人的思想開發(fā)自己的思想。

　　這幅圖意在鼓勵人們讀更多的書。我認為，書本就是人類通過幾千年世界積累的知識寶庫。通過讀書，我們不僅可以學(xué)到人們已經(jīng)達到的成就，還可以在已有知識的基礎(chǔ)上受到啟發(fā)，從而進一步地發(fā)展和創(chuàng)新。這個普遍的真理尤其適用于學(xué)術(shù)界，任何一個學(xué)科的新發(fā)現(xiàn)都需要通過閱讀已有文獻來奠定基礎(chǔ)。

　　簡單地回顧一下歷史上有著杰出成就的名人更可以證明讀書的重要性。比如卡爾.馬克思在提出他的馬克思主義理論之前，在大英圖書館中讀了非常多的書、以至于他經(jīng)常坐的那個位置下面都留下了他的腳印。同樣的道理也適用于普通人，我相信每一個人都能夠從好書中獲益。
