久未谋面的老友相见，朋友说，挑了两本书送你呢。突然心生感动，好些年没收到这样的礼物了。

Her long-lost friends meet,Friends say,Picked the two books to send about you.Suddenly mind moved,Many years received such a gift.

　　早些年，朋友过生日，根据对方的阅读喜好，买几本书当作礼物是很自然的事。可是现在，同样的场合中，如果再把书当礼物“隆重”地送给对方，竟然会感到尴尬。是书的质量越来越差，不足以当礼物互送，还是我们的心境变了，不再把书当礼物看了？抑或我们身处的时代变了？

In earlier years,A friend's birthday,According to each other's reading preferences,Buy some books as a gift is a very natural thing.But now,The same situation,If you put the book as a gift"grand"Land to each other,Unexpectedly will feel embarrassed.The quality of the book is worse,As a gift to send each other,Or our mood has changed,No longer put the book as a gift saw?Or we are in The Times have changed?

　　公交上、地铁里，看到有人捧着书看，总觉得那是一道“风景”，甚至心里可能还会嘀咕：这“风景”到底是“天然”的，还是“人造”的？国人读书越来越少，这是不争的事实，时不时媒体就会拿一些调查数据来“提醒”一下。人们不爱读书，有着各种各样的原因，但不得不说，我们的社会越来越物质化。

Bus on/The subway,See someone holding books to read,Always feel that it is a"scenery",Even the heart could whisper:this"scenery"Exactly is"natural"of,or"artificial"of?People read less and less,It is an indisputable fact,Occasionally the media will take some of the survey data to"remind"the.People do not love reading,Have all kinds of reasons,But have to say,Our society is becoming more and more materialization.

　　饭局上的聊天，不再是争论某本书的某个观点，也不再是真正的情感交流，而是尽可能从对方那里寻找对自己有用的信息，大家心照不宣地以饭局的形式来互换社会资源。在一个“每个人都渴望成功”的社会里，书的“慢性营养”，远远比不过社会资源来得直接；在一个习惯了凡事被“物化”的社会里，过去的一些珍贵品质荡然无存。连给朋友送个礼物这样的小事，都要掂量一番，合计一下是否能拿得出手。

The dinner party chat,Debate is no longer a book a view,No longer is the real emotional communication,But as much as possible from each other there to find useful information,Everybody understood in the form of dinner party to exchange of social resources.In a"Everyone is eager for success"society,The book"Chronic nutrition",Far more than social resources come directly;In a accustomed to all things were"materialized"society,In the past some precious quality all gone.Even send a gift to a friend and such things,All want to weigh against a,Add up whether can get you anything.

　　在一个高度世俗化的时代里，我们已经越来越喜欢“看得见、摸得着”的东西，镶嵌在精神世界中的内容慢慢被忽略。人们总是学着从外部寻找原因，以此为自己的“精神贫困”卸责，比如忙、比如累，比如社会不公，以及社会不公引发的种种焦虑等，惟独不想想，作为一个独立的人，为什么就不能不随波逐流？一个作家曾说，“理想的人生，应该介乎于我本人目空一切的懒散与世人无止境的疯狂之间。”当太多人被物欲社会裹挟着不得不往前挤时，还有多少人想着通过读书或者静心，来增强自我修正的能力？

In a highly secular era,We have more and more like"see/handled"things,Set in the contents of the spirit world slowly be ignored.People always learn to find the reasons from outside,This is his own"Spiritual poverty"shirking,Such as busy/Such as tired,Such as social injustice,And social injustice caused a variety of anxiety, etc,But don't want to want to,As an independent person,Why can have to go with the stream?A writer has said,"Ideal life,Should be somewhere I am supercilious lazy and the world between endless crazy."When too many people be materialistic society had to squeeze the neo-enlightenment movement forward when,There are many people thinking about through the reading or meditation,To enhance the ability of self-correction?

　　那个把书当礼物的时代一去不复返了，我不觉得这仅仅是个社会问题，在每个人的精神叙事中，我们都选择了流俗从众，破坏了过往的那些美好，是该反省和改正了。

The book as a present era is gone,I don't think this is just a social problem,In everyone's spirit in the narrative,We all choose the ones of the herd,Destroy the past the good,Is the reflection and corrected.
