Macaulay once says in a charming letter to a little girl, " If any one would make me the greatest king that ever lived, with palaces and gardens and fine dinners, and wines and coaches, and beautiful clothes, and hundreds of servants, on condition that I should not read books. I would not be a king. I would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books than a king who did not love reading."
麥考利在給一個(gè)小女孩的充滿感染力的信中說(shuō):“如果誰(shuí)讓我做有史以來(lái)最偉大的國(guó)王,擁有宮殿、花園、美味佳肴,美酒馬車、漂亮衣裳,以及幾百奴仆,但條件是我不能讀書。那么我不會(huì)成為一個(gè)國(guó)王。我寧愿做一個(gè)窮人在閣樓里與大量的書為伴而不是做一個(gè)不愛讀書的國(guó)王。”
