全民阅读

颜丹丹

全民阅读是根据“世界读书日”演变而来。“世界读书日”全称“世界图书与版权日”，又译“世界图书日”，最初的创意来自于国际出版商协会。1995年正式确定每年4月23日为“世界图书与版权日”，设立目的是推动更多的人阅读和写作。

十二届全国人大三次会议闭幕后，中国国务院总理李克强在人民大会堂金色大厅会见中外记者。他谈及“全民阅读”连续两年被写入《政府工作报告》的原因，李克强解释道，去年起草《政府工作报告》时，不仅文化界、出版界的人士，而且经济界和企业家都向他提出要支持全民阅读活动，报告要加上“全民阅读”的字样。李克强说，书籍和阅读是人类文明传承的主要载体。他以个人经历举例，用闲暇时间来阅读是一种享受，也是一种财富，将终身受益。李克强表示，“我希望全民阅读能够形成一种氛围，无处不在。”

Chi Li， a famous woman writer in China， rarely visits bookshops anymore. Instead， she buys books online. She believes it is difficult to find what she calls “real” books on shop shelves now.

“Most of the books in shops are tool books to help people to pass a test or earn more money. In my eyes， they are not real books，” said Chi Li.

“I rarely go to bookshops now because I cant find what I want to read. Many of the books are written in the same style and have the same contents1， such as advice on how to be rich and successful.”

Chi Li was pleased to see that Premier2 Li Keqiang set out proposals3 to encourage a love of literature4 in the Government Work Report he presented at the two sessions5.

中国著名女作家池莉现在都在网上购书，而几乎不再逛书店买书了。她认为如今在书店的书架上很难找到她心里真正意义上的“书”。

她说：“书店里的大部分书是工具书，这些书是帮助人们如何通过考试或者赚到更多的钱。我觉得这些都不是真正的书。”

“我现在很少去逛书店了，因为我找不到我想要读的书。很多书都是同样的风格，同样的内容，比如说如何变得富有和成功一类的建议。”

池莉很高兴看到李克强总理在两会政府工作报告上倡导对文学的热爱。

“We will ensure that more excellent works are created for people to enjoy. And we encourage a love of reading in all our people to build a nation of reading lovers，” Li Keqiang said.

Chi Li said， “It is good that this has been highlighted6 in such a high-level document7. It means our leadership has realized the importance of reading.”

However， she remains concerned about the types of books people read though several local governments have set up libraries. “It doesnt mean local people can enjoy real reading，” she said.

“These governments did not carry out any researches before setting up libraries. And they had no idea about what books the local readers like or need.”

“Then， fewer people will be attracted to read in the libraries. If this is so， it will be hard to create a love of literature.”

Chi Li added， “Reading good books can be helpful to the cultural makeup of a nation and personal development.”

李克强指出，“要提供更多优秀文艺作品，倡导全民阅读，建设书香社会。”

池莉说：“能够在这么高级别的文件里突出阅读的地位，说明我们的领导人也意识到了阅读的重要性。”

尽管一些地方政府已经兴建图书馆，但池莉仍然对人们读书的类别有所担忧。她说：“这并不意味着人们就可以真正享受阅读了。”

“这些地方政府在兴建图书馆前并没有事先做调查，他们不知道当地的读者喜欢或者需要哪一类的书。”

“因此，越来越少的人会被吸引到图书馆看书。如果这样，要培养对文学的热爱会变得很难。”

池莉补充道：“读好书有助于个人的发展乃至国家文化的构成。”
