读书人是幸福人

谢冕

    我常想读书人是世间幸福人，因为他除了拥有现实的世界之外，还拥有另一个更为浩瀚也更为丰富的世界。现实的世界是人人都有的，而后一个世界却为读书人所独有。由此我又想，那些失去或不能阅读的人是多么的不幸，他们的丧失是不可补偿的。世间有诸多的不平等，如财富的不平等，权力的不平等，而阅读能力的拥有或丧失却体现为精神的不平等。

    一个人的一生，只能经历自己拥有的那一份欣悦，那一份苦难，也许再加上他亲自闻知的那一些关于自身以外的经历和经验。然而，人们通过阅读，却能进入不同时空的诸多他人的世界。这样，具有阅读能力的人，无形间获得了超越有限生命的无限可能性。阅读不仅使他多识了草木虫鱼之名，而且可以上溯远古下及未来，饱览存在的与非存在的奇风异俗。

    更为重要的是，读书加惠于人们的不仅是知识的增广，而且还在于精神的感化与陶冶。人们从读书学做人，从那些往哲先贤以及当代才俊的著述中学得他们的人格。人们从《论语》中学得智慧的思考，从《史记》中学得严肃的历史精神，从《正气歌》学得奋斗的执著，从马克思学得人世的激情，从鲁迅学得批判精神，从列夫．托尔斯泰学得道德的执著。歌德的诗句刻写着睿智的人生，拜伦的诗句呼唤着奋斗的热情。一个读书人，是一个有机会拥有超乎个人生命体验的幸运人。

    一个人一旦与书本结缘，极大的可能是注定与崇高追求和高尚情趣相联系的人。说“极大的可能”，指的是不排除读书人中也有卑鄙和奸诈，况且，并非凡书皆好，在流传的书籍中，并非全是劝善之作，也有无价值的甚而起负面效果的。但我们所指读书，总是以其优好品质得以流传一类，这类书对人的影响总是良性的。我之所以常感读书幸福，是从喜爱文学书的亲身感受而发。一旦与此种嗜好结缘，人多半因而向往于崇高一类，对暴力的厌恶和对弱者的同情，使人心灵纯净而富正义感，人往往变得情趣高雅而趋避凡俗。或博爱、或温情、或抗争，大抵总引导人从幼年到成人，一步一步向着人间的美好境界前行。笛卡尔说：“读一本好书，就是和许多高尚的人谈话。”这就是读书使人向善；雨果说：“各种蠢事，在每天阅读好书的影响下，仿佛烤在火上一样渐渐溶化。”这就是读书使人避恶。

    所以，我说，读书人是幸福人。

    Ten years ago, I was lucky enough to have an opportunity to study in England as a international student. I went to one of the most famous school there. On the first day, I was such nervous that I felt my heart beaten wildly. I was afraid to express to myself, because I have never communicated with strangers in English before. Therefore, my teacher said I had to introduce me in front of the class. As soon as the first word flew out my mouth, I felt relaxing immediately. I was happy I finally made it. It's a special day, which I will never forget.
