書(shū)籍的力量

For many of us, there's nothing better than burying our head in a good book.

對(duì)于我們?cè)S多人而言，沒(méi)有什么比埋頭閱讀一本好書(shū)更好的了。

Whether it's a gripping crime story or a biography of someone's amazing life, it's good to read a book to switch off from the distractions of everyday life and help us relax.

無(wú)論是令人發(fā)指的犯罪故事還是某人傳奇一生的傳記，我們都可以通過(guò)閱讀一本書(shū)來(lái)放松自己，來(lái)擺脫日常生活中的紛紛擾擾。

Maybe that's why some of them are actually being prescribed as a remedy to sickness.

It may seem obvious that reading is good for us.

It can be educational, and as some say, it can ‘broaden the mind'.

閱讀書(shū)籍具有良好的教育意義，而且也正如有人說(shuō)過(guò)，閱讀還能“拓寬思維”。

A good novel can make us happy or sad, or make us cry as we empathise with characters.

一本不錯(cuò)的小說(shuō)就能讓我們沉醉其中，品味書(shū)中的喜怒哀樂(lè)，甚至我們能感同身受書(shū)中角色的悲傷和哭泣。

The power of books was recognised a few years ago by the British charity Reading Agency, who published a list of books that doctors could offer to patients, tackling topics from depression to dementia to chronic pain.

幾年前，英國(guó)慈善閱讀機(jī)構(gòu)就肯定和認(rèn)可了書(shū)籍的作用，該機(jī)構(gòu)出版了醫(yī)生可以向患者提供的書(shū)籍清單，以解決從抑郁癥、癡呆癥到慢性疼痛的話(huà)題。

It called this 'bibliotherapy' and it's become so successful that it's about to be extended to children as well.

它被稱(chēng)為“書(shū)目療法”，并且取得了非常好的效果，以至于可能會(huì)被推廣到兒童教育方面。

Professor Philip Davis studies the effects of literature at Liverpool University and is author of a book called Reading for Life.

著有《終身閱讀》一書(shū)的菲利普·戴維斯教授在利物浦大學(xué)研究文學(xué)與書(shū)籍的作用。

He studies people in reading groups and found that it's reading literature–written work thought to have artistic merit, that has the best effect.

他研究發(fā)現(xiàn)閱讀中的人們，自身會(huì)認(rèn)為閱讀是一種具有藝術(shù)價(jià)值的行為，且效果明顯持久。

He told the BBC that when reading something for pleasure, "…the brain begins to work from different parts, from a different hemisphere and it gets excited, it gets pre-emotional and you can see the brain coming to life."

他對(duì)BBC表示，通過(guò)閱讀而帶來(lái)愉悅時(shí)，“人們的左右半腦會(huì)更加協(xié)調(diào)的思考和工作，并且變得異常興奮，情緒會(huì)更加豐富 – 會(huì)感覺(jué)到大腦異?；钴S、工作高效?！?/p>

Of course, it's easy in our smartphone generation to ditch a good book and fiddle with our phones instead.

當(dāng)然，對(duì)于處在智能手機(jī)時(shí)代的我們來(lái)說(shuō)，手機(jī)的吸引力遠(yuǎn)比一本不錯(cuò)的書(shū)要大的多。

If you're not an avid reader it can be hard to know where to begin. If the Reading Agency book list doesn't appeal, you could to read book reviews, visit a library or bookshop or ask a friend.

當(dāng)然，如果你還未養(yǎng)成長(zhǎng)期深度的閱讀習(xí)慣，一開(kāi)始可能不太清楚從哪個(gè)部分開(kāi)始。加入Reading Agency圖書(shū)清單不夠吸引你，還可以閱讀書(shū)評(píng)，逛逛圖書(shū)館或書(shū)店，或者也詢(xún)問(wèn)自己的朋友。

Once you've found the right text, you'll be hooked!

一旦開(kāi)始適合適合你自己的書(shū)籍后，你肯定會(huì)欲罷不能的！
