Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.

Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.

不要像孩子那样，为了自娱自乐而读书，也不要像有抱负的人那样，为了受教育而读书。不，为了生活而读书。
