Reading asks that you bring your whole life experience and your ability to decode the written word and your creative imagination to the page and be a co-author with the writer, because the story is just squiggles on the page unless you have a reader.

  • -- Katherine Paterson 凯瑟琳·佩特森

阅读要求你把你的全部生活经历、你对文字的解码能力、你的创造性想象力都写在纸上,成为作者的合著者,因为除非你有读者,否则故事在纸上只是乱七八糟的。
