中国富豪不读书不是啥新闻，但自己不读书还号召别人不要读太多的书，这可真是新闻。阿里巴巴集团主席马云近日说：“读书像汽车加油，得知道去哪里，装得太多就成了油罐车。不读书和读书太多的人，都不太会成功，所以别读太多书。”

China's richest not reading is not what news,But I don't read also called on other people don't read too many books,This is news.Alibaba group chairman Mr Ma said recently:"Reading like gas,Have to know where to go,Overfill became tank truck.Not reading and reading too many people,Don't too will be successful,So don't read too many books."

　　我不知道，马云定义的“成功”是什么，如果就是发大财、赚大钱、当大富豪，那么成功之门未免过于狭窄，以至于只有少数幸运儿才能破门而入，成为“成功人士”。另外，读多少书算“读书太多”？最好给出一个标准的数值，以备参考。否则，读得不够或者读多了，岂不影响我们成功？

I don't know,Mr Ma definition of"success"Is what,If is to make a killing/Make a lot of money/When croesus,Then the door to success is too narrow,That only a few lucky dog can break into,become"Successful people".In addition,Read many books is"Reading too much"?Had better give a standard value,For reference.otherwise,Read enough or read much,Not affect our success?

　　说实话，我不相信马云真的认为“读书无用”，他的本意也许是要说，死读书会导致人丧失行动能力，“纸上得来终觉浅”，成功还是要靠实践。

To tell you the truth,I don't believe that Mr Ma really think"Reading useless",His original idea might be to say,Die reading party cause people lose action ability,"On paper it final sleep shallow",Success will depend on practice.

　　但是，在中国这样一个年人均读书不过4本、大众的知识文化素养和社会的文明风尚都亟待提高的国家，像马云这样取得了事业的巨大成就、具有一定社会影响力的人，的确不该推销这种言论。

but,In China this annual per capita reading but 4 this/Public knowledge culture accomplishment and social civilization fashion to improve all the country,Like Mr Ma has made such great achievements in the cause of/Certain social influence,Indeed shouldn't sell this speech.

　　首先，把阅读和成功用简单的因果律联系起来本身就不科学，没有什么说服力。的确，大字不识但终成大业和饱读诗书而一事无成的例子，古今中外所在皆有。中国人最熟悉的就是那位半文盲加流氓的汉高祖刘邦。但饱读诗书而终成大业、大字不识最终一事无成的例子，也同样比比皆是。读书多少和成功之间本来就没有什么直接关系，说“只有读书才能成功”和“只有不读书或少读书才能成功”一样，都是缺乏统计数据支持的臆断。

First of all,The reading and success with simple causality connected itself is not scientific,No convincing.indeed,Top not to know but end into great undertaking and're well-read and nothing example,Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign place is.The most familiar is the semiliterate add roguish hangaozu liu bang.But're well-read and eventually into great undertaking/Big character does eventually nothing example,Also can be found everywhere.Read much and success there is nothing between direct relationship,said"Only reading to be successful"and"Only don't read or less reading to be successful"as,Are the lack of statistical data support assume.

　　其次，读书之所以值得提倡，究其根本而言，不是因为读书有用，恰恰相反，读书最美好的一点正是它“没有用”。严格说来，出于单纯功利目的的阅读不能算是读书。为了升学就业、获取信息、掌握技能的阅读，比如学生读课本和参考书，工程师读技术资料，厨师读烹饪大全……有助于个人获取实际利益，却无助于一个人开阔胸襟和完善人格。人与动物不同的一点是人有好奇心和求知欲，对于世间万象有一种难以遏制的一探究竟的渴望。除了自己的工作和专业之外，读一点文学、历史、哲学、艺术方面的书籍，一来滋润心灵，使精神世界不至于干瘪粗糙；二来满足好奇心，“原来如此！”常常是这类阅读带来的快感。

secondly,The reason why reading is worth advocating,In terms of definitions-and the,Not because it useful,On the contrary,Reading the best point is it"not".Strictly speaking,Out of simple utility purpose of reading is not reading.In order to study the employment/Access to information/Master skills of reading,For example students read textbooks and reference books,Engineer read technical data,The cook read of cooking...Help people get real benefit,But not a man the open mind and perfect personality.People different from animals that people have a curiosity and desire for knowledge,For all the world there is a kind of difficult to curb the desire to descend.In addition to his work and professional outside,Read a little literature/history/philosophy/Art books,Way to nourish his soul,Make the spirit world not dry rough;2 will meet the curiosity,"so!"This kind of reading is often bring of pleasant sensation.

　　这种看似无用的读书最大的好处是避免使人变成工具，而使人成为完整的人。这种具备一定人文素养的人一定是通过广泛阅读而造就的。在中国社会趋向于功利化的今天，这样的阅读尤其值得提倡。

This seemingly useless reading biggest advantage is to avoid make people become tools,And make people become whole person.This has certain humanities cultivated manners people must be through the extensive reading and made.In Chinese society tend to be utilitarian today,Such a reading is especially advocate.

　　即便站在纯粹功利的立场，少读书的说法也不足为训。实际上，阅读量的多与少不仅事关个人素质，也直接关系到一个国家的未来。发达国家的年人均读书量普遍在20本以上，浓厚的全民阅读风气所带来的不仅仅是发达的科技、繁荣的文化，更有知书识礼、平和理性的社会风气。只有提高全民阅读量，中国才有望摆脱处在国际产业链条底端的命运，中国社会才有望避免持续粗鄙化。总之，如果中国一定要跻身发达国家，那么今天的中国人应该比以往更加需要多读书，越多越好，而不是相反。

Even if standing in purely utilitarian position,Little reading that BuZuWeiXun also.In fact,Reading quantity of much with little relates not only to the personal qualities,Also directly related to the future of a country.The developed countries in the per capita amount of reading in the above general 20,Strong national reading atmosphere brings is not only developed science and technology/Prosperous culture,Although the book more general ceremony/Peace and rational social atmosphere.Only improve the reading quantity,China is expected to get rid of in the international industrial chain at the bottom of the fate,Chinese society is expected to continue to avoid humbleness turn.In a word,If China must be among the developed countries,So today's Chinese people should be more than ever need to read more books,The more the better,And not the other way around.

　　同样是富豪，同样从事科技行业，已故苹果公司创始人乔布斯就绝不会说出这种话。尽管乔布斯本人主动从大学辍学，但他毕生对哲学、文学、艺术和音乐抱有强烈的热情，那本《一个瑜伽修行者的自传》，他几乎每年都要读上一遍。苹果产品中体现出的极简主义美学与乔布斯对禅宗理论等东方哲学的偏好直接相关。苹果公司的成功与乔布斯深厚的人文素养有极大关系，这一点已为业界所公认。

Is also rich,Also engaged in the technology industry,Late apple company founder jobs can never be say such a thing.Although jobs I active from university school dropout,But for his life philosophy/literature/Art and music have strong enthusiasm,the[A yogi's autobiography],He almost every year to read on again.Apple products reflects the minimalism aesthetics and jobs to zen theory eastern philosophy is directly related to the preference.Apple's success and jobs profound humanistic literacy has great concern,This has accepted for the industry.

　　也许是看到了乔布斯、盖茨等人是大学肄业生，所以得出“要成功就不能读太多书”的结论，但显然这只看到了表象，而忽视了实质。富豪也不都是粗鄙无文的。据美国所做的一项调查，在加州富豪聚集的贝弗利山庄，平均每个家庭的图书拥有量是199本，而在周边康普顿和沃茨等贫困地区，平均每个家庭只拥有0.4到2.7本书。对于这样的统计数字，成功人士们又会怎样解读呢？

Maybe see jobs/Gates, etc are undergraduate,So that"To succeed can't read too many books"conclusion,But apparently this only see the representation,And ignore the essence.Volvo also is not the vulgar without text.According to the survey,Rich in California gathered Beverly hills home,The average family of books is 199 the ownership of this,And in peripheral Compton and poor areas such as watts,The average family has only 0.4 to 2.7 book.For such statistics,Successful people are and how to interpret?
