高考英语卷子全国卷一b(2020年高考英语全国卷1)

Returning to a book you’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There’s a welcome familiarity — but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don’t change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.

重读一本读过很多遍的书，就像和老朋友一起畅饮。这是一种受欢迎的熟悉感，但有时也有一丝怀疑，时间改变了你们两，关系也是。但是书不会变，人会变。这就是为什么重读会如此丰富而富有变化。

The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It’s true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s all about the present. It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.

重读的美妙之处在于，我们与作品的联系是建立在我们目前的心理状态之上的。的确，我年纪越大，越觉得时间有翅膀。但是阅读，都是关于当下的。它是关于现在和一个人对现在的贡献，因为阅读是作者和读者之间的一种取舍。每个人都要尽自己的力量。

There are three books I reread annually The first, which I take to reading every spring is Emest Hemningway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating, an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortazar’s Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortazar.

每年我都要重读三本书，第一本是我每年春天都要读的海明威的《移动的盛宴》。这本书出版于1964年，是他20世纪20年代巴黎生活的经典回忆录。语言令人着迷，一位上了年纪的作家回顾了一个雄心勃勃但却简单的时代。另一部是安妮·迪拉德的《神圣的坚实》，一部1975年的随笔，漫谈一切和虚无。第三本书是胡里奥·科塔扎尔的《拯救黄昏：诗选》，因为诗歌，因为科塔扎尔。

While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it’s you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.

虽然我总是买很多书，但这三本书是别人送我的礼物，这可能增加了我赋予它们的意义。但我想，虽然金钱确实是美妙和必要的，但重读作者的作品是读者能支付给他们的最高报酬。最好的书可以随着时间的推移而看得更远。但请记住，你必须成长，不断地阅读和重读，以便更好地了解你的朋友。
