Some books, like some persons, convey to us all that they will ever have to give at a single sitting.Others hold our attention profitably through two or three encounters... and the books to frequent, the books to be shipwrecked with, the great books into which rich and substantial lives have been distilled and packed -- the Dialogues of Plato, Montaigne's Essays, Boswell's Johnson, the Essays and Journals of Emerson -- there are to be lived with and returned to and made the companions of hours and days and moods as various as those in which they were written. (Stuart P. Sherman)

翻译书上的译文：
有些书也和有些人一样，大概都是把它们打算要传达给我们的东西一下子就完全倾吐出来。有些书则使我们要专心而获益地读上两三遍才能释手。……还有些是要再三反复去读的书，有些是在遭遇船只失事时也仍然要带着走的书，有些是从丰富而充实的人生中摘出而填入行间字里的伟大的书——柏拉图的语录，蒙田的随笔，鲍斯威尔的《约翰逊传》，艾默生的散文和日记——这些书是可以与之共同生活的，可以百读不厌的，也可以在不同的时日和心情中作为伴侣的，那种不同的时日与心情，也正和那些作品在写作时的情形一样。(斯图尔特·谢尔曼)
斯眉的译文：
有些书像有些人一样，喜欢一口气和盘托出，其他人则要谋面两三次才能留意……有些书要常常阅读，有些书要同生共死，伟大的书籍内容丰富，包涵和提炼着人生精粹——柏拉图的《对话录》、蒙田的《随笔集》、鲍斯威尔的《约翰逊传》、爱默生的《论文集》和《日记》——都要放在手边，反复阅读，时时刻刻与之为伴，体会作者落笔时的种种心境。(斯图尔特·谢尔曼)
