六級翻譯練習(xí)：讀書與偏見

　　請將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

　　然而，很少有人從書中去了解讀書可以給與我們什么東西。通常，我們在讀書時思路不清，心懷抵觸，要求小說應(yīng)該真實，要求詩歌應(yīng)該虛假，要求傳記應(yīng)該吹捧，要求史書應(yīng)該執(zhí)行我們的各種偏見。如果讀書能夠摒除所有這些先人之見，那將是值得贊賞的開始。

　　參考譯文：

　　Yet few people know what books can give us.Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds,asking of fiction that it shall be true,of poetry that it shall be false,of biography that it shall be flattering,of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices.If we could banish all such preconceptions when we read,that would be an admirable beginning.
