53 　46. Why To Mark[vt.标明；作记号于] a Book. 　　46、怎样在书上做标记 　　1. You know you have to read between the lines to get the most out of anything. I want to persuade[vt.说服；劝说] you to do something equally[(equal):adj.平等的；均等的] important in the course of your reading. I want to persuade[vt.说服；劝说] you to write between the lines. Unless[conj.除非，如果不] you do, you are not likely to do the most efficient[adj.(指人)有能力的] kind of reading. 　　1、你知道读书必须要阅读，“字里行间的言外之意”，以求最充分的理解。我劝你在读书过程中做一件同等重要的事情；我劝你“在字里行间里写字”。不这样做，就达不到最有效的阅读效果。 　　2. I contend[v.声称,坚决地认为], quite bluntly[(blunt):v.减弱], that marking[(mark):vt.标明；作记号于] up a book is not an act[vi.(戏)表演 vt.扮演(角色)；演出(戏)] of mutilation[n.切断,毁损] but love. 　　2、坦率地说，我认为，在书上涂抹标记不是一种损毁行为，而是爱。 　　3. You shouldnt mark[vt.标明；作记号于] up a book which isnt yours. Librarians[(librarian):n.图书馆管理员] (or your friends) who lend you books expect[vt.盼望；认为] you to keep them clean, and you should. If you decide that I am right about the usefulness of marking[(mark):vt.标明；作记号于] books, you will have to buy them. Most of the worlds great books are available[adj.可利用的;可获得的] today, in reprint[n.再版,翻版,重印] editions[(edition):n.版；版本], for a modest[adj.谦虚的] sum[n.一笔钱]. 　　3、当然，你不应该在不属于你的书上做标记。借给你书的图书管理员(或者你的朋友)希望你保持书的整洁，你应该这样做。如果你认为我说的在书上做标记颇有益处这番话是对的，你就得自己买书。现在，绝大部分世界上的好书都有再版，我们很容易买到，并且价格合理。 　　4. There are two ways in which you can own a book. The first is the property[n.财产] right you establish[v.使人接受(信仰、风俗、要求等)] by paying for it, just as you pay for clothes, and furniture[n.(总称)家具]. But this act[vi.(戏)表演 vt.扮演(角色)；演出(戏)] of purchase[n.购买] is only the prelude[n.序言,前奏曲] to possession[n.所有；拥有；财产；所有物]. Full ownership[n.所有制] comes only when you have made it a part of yourself, and the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it. An illustration[n.说明;例证] may make the point clear. You buy a beefsteak[n.牛排] and transfer[v.转移;转换] it from the butchers[(butcher):vt.屠宰 n.屠夫] icebox[n.冰箱;电冰箱] to your own. But you do not own the beefsteak[n.牛排] in the most important
