GPS導航… 摔進超大坑洞 －－－跟翻譯誤導
〔自由時報記者許國楨／台中報導〕劉姓大學生前晚騎機車返家途中，行經南屯區永鎮巷時，因對路況不熟利用手機內的GPS導航，未料永鎮巷已經過重劃，劉男竟連人帶車摔到一個大坑洞中，造成身上多處擦傷，警方獲報趕往協助，將機車自雨後泥濘不堪的坑洞搬移到路面，讓劉男頻頻致謝。
19歲的劉男前天騎機車到烏日區訪友，一直到深夜準備返回西屯區住處時，因對路況不熟且為了抄捷徑，隨即利用手機內的GPS導航，並依照導航指示行走至南屯區永鎮巷，只是永鎮巷現為重劃區，道路上都是泥土及石塊，加上視線昏暗，劉男發現路況不對勁時已來不及，連人帶車掉進寬約10公尺、深達3公尺的一處大坑洞中。
劉男因身上多處擦傷，無法將機車移出坑洞，只得先爬出坑洞後再以手機撥打110求救，市警四分局南屯派出所獲報派線上警網趕往，即便坑洞因雨後泥濘不堪，仍協助將機車搬移至路面，讓劉男感動不已。

4.1, 通常，前三種錯誤都不是零星、可以侷限在書中一小部份，而是系統性的。
不小心誤讀若有，通常很少，而且可能與一個「過度熱心」的譯者有關。
5，評論一本翻譯書，與評論原書，是截然不同的兩回事。所以，若是評論
一本翻譯書，但卻不評論其翻譯，假裝其為原文書，則是不負責的行為。
6，對一本翻譯書進行最好的翻譯評價，便是對之進行「譯評」，集中評論其
翻譯。
6.1, 台灣出版翻譯書，可說充斥於市，但是好而廣為流傳的譯評，雖然十分需要，
但卻寥若晨星。
6.2, 台灣出版一本翻譯書，書中的導讀、推薦、甚至是原作者對之推薦、或是
報章對之的書評等，如果沒有真正討論到該書的翻譯，即使寫這些文字的人是
再大的學者，對此翻譯書的翻譯，都需十分小心，不可輕易相信推薦與導讀。
7.2, 如果妳對該領域並不熟悉，千萬不要以為該書讀來「言之成理」、「頗為
通順」，或認為該出版社「有名」、或推薦者是「大牌教授」等，就認為該書
翻譯的不錯。一本翻譯書的文字與說理，通常出版社的編輯都曾「順過稿子」。
7.3, 如果妳是個老師，在還沒有確定一本翻譯書的翻譯品質前，不要推薦該書，
小心誤人子弟。
8，除了外文文法外，在翻譯外文理論或歷史性文字時（如 STS 譯文的翻譯），
關鍵性的概念與理論名詞的翻譯很重要。而且通常越是深刻而重要的概念，
越沒有現成配對的中文可供翻譯，除了審慎選字、甚至造詞之外，善為利用
譯註或校註，也是個好辦法。

波士頓馬拉松爆炸案：
BOSTON, FROM ONE CITIZEN OF THE WORLD WHO CALLS HIMSELF A RUNNER
Why? I can’t help asking. Why did a happy, peaceful occasion like the marathon have to be trampled on in such an awful, bloody way? Although the perpetrators have been identified, the answer to that question is still unclear. But their hatred and depravity have mangled our hearts and our minds. Even if we were to get an answer, it likely wouldn’t help.
To overcome this kind of trauma takes time, time during which we need to look ahead positively. Hiding the wounds, or searching for a dramatic cure, won’t lead to any real solution. Seeking revenge won’t bring relief, either. We need to remember the wounds, never turn our gaze away from the pain, and—honestly, conscientiously, quietly—accumulate our own histories. It may take time, but time is our ally.
For me, it’s through running, running every single day, that I grieve for those whose lives were lost and for those who were injured on Boylston Street. This is the only personal message I can send them. I know it’s not much, but I hope that my voice gets through. I hope, too, that the Boston Marathon will recover from its wounds, and that those twenty-six miles will again seem beautiful, natural, free.

Following are excerpts from a statement delivered by Nada Al-Ahdal, an 11-year-ol Yemeni girl, which was posted on the Internet on July 8, 2013:
Nada Al-Ahdal is speaking in a moving car
Nada Al-Ahdal: Salaam Alaikum. Allah's mercy and blessings upon you. Hello to you all. I'd like to thank Mukhtar Al-Sharafi and Amal. I'd like to thank all the journalist and you as well. It's true that I ran away from my family. I can't live with them anymore. Enough. I want to go live with my uncle. What about the innocence of childhood? What have the children done wrong? Why do you marry them off like that?
I managed to solve my problem, but some innocent children can't solve theirs, and they might die, commit suicide, or do whatever comes to mind. They're just kids. What do they know? They didn't have time to study, or anything. It's not our fault. I'm not the only one. It can happen to any child. There are many cases like that. Some children decide to throw themselves into the sea. They're dead now. This is not normal for innocent children.
It's true that I fled to my uncle, but he wasn't home. So I called Abd Al-Jabbar to come and get me. Abd Al-Jabbar sent me a woman to travel with her back to Al-Hudaydah. When my uncle heard about it all, he came for me. I filed a complaint with the police against my mother. I told them that I am only 11 years old and she wants to marry me off.
I would have had no life, no education. Don't they have any compassion? What kind of upbringing did they get?
[...]
I'm better off dead. I'd rather die. I'd rather live with my uncle than with these people. They threatened to kill me if I went to my uncle. What kind of people threaten their children like that? Would it make you happy to marry me off against my will? Go ahead and marry me off. I'll kill myself, just like that. I won't go back to live with them. I won't.
They have killed our dreams. They have killed everything inside us. There's nothing left. This is no upbringing. This is criminal, simply criminal.
[...]
My maternal aunt was 14 years old. She lasted one year with her husband, and she poured gasoline over herself and set herself on fire. She died. He would beat her with metal [chains]. He would get drunk. Would it make you happy to marry me off?!
[...]
My mother, my family, believe me when I say: I'm done with you. You've ruined my dreams.
[...]

A Message from Jai Pausch ： 為癌症病人的照護人發聲
5:00 之處，Jai 談到如何跟孩子談到父親的病
Jai Pausch’s Last Lecture: Dream New Dreams
In Dream New Dreams: Reimagining My Life After Loss, Jai Pausch reveals much about her perspective on Randy Pausch's 23-month battle with pancreatic cancer and the circumstances leading up to his famous Last Lecture.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
關於她的新任丈夫：
Jai describes her gradual adjustment to a new life as a single parent in Virginia. She finds fulfillment in playing a role in pancreatic cancer awareness, learns to be a public speaker, takes tennis lessons for the first time, and reconnects with friends in her hometown. She buys an alarm system, a MINI Cooper, and redecorates the master bedroom. Eventually, she feels ready to date, but there are few ready prospects in her immediate view. She turned to the internet and from that source met Richard Essenmacher, a retired Navy submariner, now her husband. She says that her relationship with Rich is very different from her prior marriage-that she and Rich enjoy cooking together. Reading between the lines, one suspects that her new husband is less of a high-flyer than Randy, more of a homebody, and perhaps more mellow. Anyone who reads this book will wish her well.

Veronika Decides to Die: God...the idea of God
http://www.rulit.net/books/veronika-decides-to-die-read-68000-19.html
In Mari's view this difficulty was due not to chaos or disorganization or anarchy, but to an excess of order. Society had more and more rules, and laws that contradicted the rules, and new rules that contradicted the laws. People felt too frightened to take even a step outside the invisible regulations that guided everyone's lives.
Mari knew what she was talking about; until her illness had brought her to Villete, she had spent forty years of her life working as a lawyer. She had lost her innocent vision of justice early in her career, and had come to understand that the laws had not been created to resolve problems but in order to prolong quarrels indefinitely.
It was a shame that Allah, Jehovah, God-it didn't matter what name you gave him-did not live in the world today, because if he did, we would still be in paradise, while he would be mired in appeals, requests, demands, injunctions, preliminary verdicts, and would have to justify to innumerable tribunals his decision to expel Adam and Eve from paradise for breaking an arbitrary rule with no foundation in law: Of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat.
If he had not wanted that to happen, why did he put the tree in the middle of the garden and not outside the walls of paradise? If she were called upon to defend the couple, Mari would undoubtedly accuse God of administrative negligence, because, in addition to planting the tree in the wrong place, he had failed to surround it with warnings and barriers, had failed to adopt even minimal security arrangements, and had thus exposed everyone to danger.
Mari could also accuse him of inducement to criminal activity, for he had pointed out to Adam and Eve the exact place where the tree was to be found. If he had said nothing, generation upon generation would have passed on this earth without anyone taking the slightest interest in the forbidden fruit, since the tree was presumably in a forest full of similar trees, and therefore of no particular value.
But God had proceeded quite differently. He had devised a rule and then found a way of persuading someone to break it, merely in order to invent punishment. He knew that Adam and Eve would become bored with perfection and would, sooner or later, test his patience. He set a trap, perhaps because he, Almighty God, was also bored with everything going so smoothly: If Eve had not eaten the apple, nothing of any interest would have happened in the last few billion years.
When the law was broken, God-the omnipotent judge-even pretended to pursue them, as if he did not already know every possible hiding place. With the angels looking on, amused by the game (life must have been very dreary for them since Lucifer left heaven), he began to walk about the garden. Mari thought what a wonderful scene in a suspense movie that episode from the Bible would make: God's footsteps, the couple exchanging frightened glances, the feet suddenly stopping in their hiding place.
"Where art thou?" asked God.
"I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself," Adam replied, without knowing that by making this statement, he had confessed himself guilty of a crime.
So, by means of a simple trick, pretending not to know where Adam was or why he had run away, God got what he wanted. Even so, in order to leave no doubts among the audience of angels who were intently watching the episode, he decided to go further.
"Who told thee that thou was naked?" said God, knowing that this question could have only one possible response: "Because I ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."
With that question, God demonstrated to his angels that he was a just God, and that his condemnation of the couple was based on solid evidence. From then on, it wasn't a matter of whether it was the woman's fault or of their asking for forgiveness: God needed an example, so that no other being, earthly or heavenly, would ever again dare to go against his decisions.
God expelled the couple, and their children paid for the crime too (as still happens with the children of criminals) and thus the judiciary system was invented: the law, the transgression of the law (no matter how illogical or absurd), judgment (in which the more experienced triumphs over the ingenuous), and punishment.
Since all of humanity was condemned with no right of appeal, humankind decided to create a defense mechanism against the eventuality of God deciding to wield his arbitrary power again. However, millennia of study resulted in so many legal measures that, ultimately, we went too far, and justice became a tangle of clauses, jurisprudence, and contradictory texts that no one could quite understand.
So much so that, when God had a change of heart and sent his Son to save the world, what happened? He fell into the hands of the very justice he had invented.
The tangle of laws created such confusion that the Son ended up nailed to a cross. It was no simple trial; he was passed from Ananias to Caiphas, from the priest to Pilate, who alleged that there were insufficient laws in the Roman code. From Pilate to Herod, who, in turn, alleged that the Jewish code did not permit the death sentence. From Herod back to Pilate again, who, looking for a way out, offered the people a juridical deaclass="underline" He had the Son beaten and then displayed to the people with his wounds, but it didn't work.
Like prosecutors nowadays Pilate decided to save himself at the expense of the condemned man: he offered to exchange Jesus for Barabbas, knowing that, by then, justice had become a grand spectacle requiring a denouement: the death of the prisoner.
Finally Pilate used the article of law that gave the judge, and not the person being judged, the benefit of the doubt. He washed his hands, which means: "I'm not quite sure either way." It was just another ruse to preserve the Roman juridical system without injuring relations with local magistrates, and even transferring the weight of the decision onto the people, just in case the sentence should cause any problems, and some inspector from the imperial capital came to see for himself what was going on.
Justice. Law. Although both were vital in order to protect the innocent, they did not always work to everyone's liking. Mari was glad to be far from all that confusion, although tonight, listening to the piano, she was not quite so sure that Villete was the right place for her.
Veronika Decides to Die: a tie
"You say they create their own reality," said Veronika, "but what is reality?"
"It's whatever the majority deems it to be. It's not necessarily the best or the most logical, but it's the one that supports the desires of society as a whole. You see this thing I've got around my neck?"
"You mean your tie?"
"Exactly. Your answer is the logical, coherent answer an absolutely normal person would give: It's a tie! A lunatic, however, would say that what I have round my neck is a ridiculous, useless bit of colored cloth tied in a very complicated way, which makes it harder to get air into your lungs and difficult to turn your neck. I have to be careful when I'm anywhere near a fan, or I could be strangled by this bit of cloth.
"If a lunatic were to ask me what this tie is for, I would have to say, absolutely nothing. It's not even purely decorative, since nowadays it's become a symbol of slavery, power, aloofness. The only really useful function a tie serves is the sense of relief when you get home and take it off; you feel as if you've freed yourself from something, though quite what you don't know.
"But does that sense of relief justify the existence of ties? No. Nevertheless, if I were to ask a madman and a normal person what this is, the sane person would say: ‘A tie.' It doesn't matter who's correct, what matters is who's right."
"So just because I gave the right name to a bit of colored cloth you conclude that I'm not mad."
Veronika Decides to Die: fear of change
What's mad? What's normal?
--------------------------
"Do you think I could talk to my daughter?" asked the woman, who was not interested in the Japanese, the Indians, or the Canadians.
"Yes, yes, in a moment," said Dr. Igor, slightly annoyed by the interruption. "But first, I want you to understand one thing: apart from certain grave pathological cases, people only go insane when they try to escape from routine. Do you understand?"
"I do," she replied. "And if you think that I won't be capable of looking after her, you can rest assured, I've never tried to change my life."
"Good." Dr. Igor seemed relieved. "Can you imagine a world in which, for example, we were not obliged to repeat the same thing every day of our lives? If, for example, we all decided to eat only when we were hungry, what would housewives and restaurants do?"
It would be more normal to eat only when we were hungry, thought the woman, but she said nothing, afraid that he might not let her speak to Veronika.
"Well, it would cause tremendous confusion," she said at last. "I'm a housewife myself, and I know what I'm talking about."
"So we have breakfast, lunch, and supper. We have to wake up at a certain hour every day and rest once a week. Christmas exists so that we can give each other presents, Easter so that we can spend a few days at the lake. How would you like it if your husband were gripped by a sudden, passionate impulse and decided he wanted to make love in the living room?"
The woman thought: What is the man talking about? I came here to see my daughter.
"I would find it very sad," she said, carefully, hoping she was giving the right answer.
"Excellent," roared Dr. Igor. "The bedroom is the correct place for making love. To make love anywhere else would set a bad example and promote the spread of anarchy."
"Can I see my daughter?" said the woman.
Dr. Igor gave up. This peasant would never understand what he was talking about; she wasn't interested in discussing insanity from a philosophical point of view, even though she knew her daughter had made a serious suicide attempt and had been in a coma.
He rang the bell and his secretary appeared.
"Call the young woman who tried to commit suicide," he said. "The one who wrote the letter to the newspapers, saying that she was killing herself in order to put Slovenia on the map."
Veronika Decides to Die: Vitriol
http://www.rulit.net/books/veronika-decides-to-die-read-68000-16.html
No, you're not mad, thought Dr. Igor, who was an authority on the subject, with various diplomas hanging on the walls of his consulting room. Attempting to take your own life was something proper to a human being; he knew a lot of people who were doing just that, and yet they lived outside the hospital, feigning innocence and normality, merely because they had not chosen the scandalous route of suicide. They were killing themselves gradually, poisoning themselves with what Dr. Igor called Vitriol.
Vitriol was a toxic substance whose symptoms he had identified in his conversations with the men and women he had met. Now he was writing a thesis on the subject, which he would submit to the Slovenian Academy of Sciences for its scrutiny. It was the most important step in the field of insanity since Dr. Pinel had ordered that patients should be unshackled, astonishing the medical world with the idea that some of them might even be cured.
As with the libido-the chemical reaction responsible for sexual desire, which Dr. Freud had identified, but which no laboratory had ever managed to isolate-Vitriol was released by the human organism whenever a person found him- or herself in a frightening situation, although it had yet to be picked up in any spectrographic tests. It was easily recognized, though, by its taste, which was neither sweet nor savory-a bitter taste. Dr. Igor, the as-yet-unrecognized discoverer of this fatal substance, had given it the name of a poison much favored in the past by emperors, kings, and lovers of all kinds whenever they needed to rid themselves of some obstructive person.
A golden age, the age of kings and emperors, when you could live and die romantically. The murderer would invite his or her victim to partake of a magnificent supper, the servant would pour them drinks served in two exquisite glasses, and one of the drinks would be laced with Vitriol. Imagine the excitement aroused by each gesture the victim made, picking up the glass, saying a few tender or aggressive words, drinking as if the glass contained some delicious beverage, giving his host one last startled look, then falling to the floor.
But this poison, which was now very expensive and difficult to obtain, had been replaced by more reliable methods of extermination-revolvers, bacteria, and so on. Dr. Igor, a natural romantic, had rescued this name from obscurity and given it to the disease of the soul he had managed to diagnose, and whose discovery would soon astonish the world.
It was odd that no one had ever described Vitriol as a mortal poison, although most of the people affected could identify its taste, and they referred to the process of poisoning as bitterness. To a greater or lesser degree, everyone had some bitterness in their organism, just as we are all carriers of the tuberculosis bacillus. But these two illnesses only attack when the patient is debilitated; in the case of bitterness, the right conditions for the disease occur when the person becomes afraid of so-called reality.
Certain people, in their eagerness to construct a world no external threat can penetrate, build exaggeratedly high defenses against the outside world, against new people, new places, different experiences, and leave their inner world stripped bare. It is there that bitterness begins its irrevocable work.
The will was the main target of bitterness (or Vitriol, as Dr. Igor preferred to call it). The people attacked by this malaise began to lose all desire, and, within a few years, they became unable to leave their world, where they had spent enormous reserves of energy constructing high walls in order to make reality what they wanted it to be.
In order to avoid external attack, they had also deliberately limited internal growth. They continued going to work, watching television, having children, complaining about the traffic, but these things happened automatically, unaccompanied by any particular emotion, because, after all, everything was under control.
http://www.rulit.net/books/veronika-decides-to-die-read-68000-17.html
The great problem with poisoning by bitterness was that the passions-hatred, love, despair, enthusiasm, curiosity-also ceased to manifest themselves. After a while the embittered person felt no desire at all. He or she lacked the will either to live or to die, that was the problem.
That is why embittered people find heroes and madmen a perennial source of fascination, for they have no fear of life or death. Both heroes and madmen are indifferent to danger and will forge ahead regardless of what other people say. The madman committed suicide, the hero offered himself up to martyrdom in the name of a cause, but both would die, and the embittered would spend many nights and days remarking on the absurdity and the glory of both. It was the only moment when the embittered person had the energy to clamber up his defensive walls and peer over at the world outside, but then his hands and feet would grow tired, and he would return to daily life.
The chronically embittered person only noticed his illness once a week, on Sunday afternoons. Then, with no work or routine to relieve the symptoms, he would feel that something was very wrong, since he found the peace of those endless afternoons infernal and felt only a keen sense of constant irritation.
Monday would arrive, however, and the embittered man would immediately forget his symptoms, although he would curse the fact that he never had time to rest and would complain that the weekends always passed far too quickly.
From the social point of view, the only advantage of the disease was that it had become the norm, and internment was no longer necessary except in cases where the poisoning was so severe that the patient's behavior began to affect others. Most embittered people, though, could continue to live outside, constituting no threat to society or to others, since, because of the high walls with which they had surrounded themselves, totally isolated them from the world, even though they appeared to participate in it.
Dr. Sigmund Freud had discovered the libido and a cure for the problems it caused, in the form of psychoanalysis. Apart from discovering the existence of Vitriol, Dr. Igor needed to prove that a cure for it was also possible. He wanted to leave his mark on the history of medicine, although he had no illusions about the difficulties he would face when it came to publishing his ideas, for "normal" people were content with their lives and would never admit to the existence of such an illness, while the "sick" fed a gigantic industry of mental hospitals, laboratories, conferences, and so on.
I know the world will not recognize my efforts, he said to himself, proud of being misunderstood. After all, that was the price every genius had to pay.
"Is anything wrong, doctor?" asked the girl. "You seem to have drifted off into the world of your patients."
Dr. Igor ignored the disrespectful comment.
"You can go now," he said.

Askwith Forum: Pedagogy of the Oppressed
Lady Gaga, Winfrey at Harvard

Lady Gaga, Winfrey target bullying
BORN THIS WAY
Foundation to empower youth launched during Sanders session
Pop sensation Lady Gaga launched her anti-bullying, youth-empowering Born This Way Foundation (BTWF) at Sanders Theatre on Wednesday during an Askwith Forum sponsored by the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE).
Winfrey took the stage to interview the singer about her plans. Gaga’s initiative, Winfrey said, speaks to the innate human desire for acceptance and validation that she saw time and again during her work as a television interviewer.
“I believe that every human being on the planet comes with the inherent divine right to be himself and herself,” Winfrey said. “That’s what we’re here to do: to fulfill the highest expression of ourselves as human beings.”
The nonprofit organization is partnering with Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society to address issues of self-confidence, anti-bullying, mentoring, and career development through research, education, and advocacy, in large part by harnessing the power of the Internet.
------
Gaga stressed that her new charity will try to inspire a major cultural shift.
“I can’t give you an answer. I can’t say I will solve problems,” said the singer. “It’s a transformative change in culture over time.”
An important part of that change, she said, includes the three pillars of the new initiative: skills, safety and opportunity. “I want everyone to feel safe in their community, school, home, whatever city you live in,” and to develop the skills needed to be a “loving, accepting, and tolerant” human being, Gaga told Winfrey.

Winfrey's Commencement Address - What impressed Me
http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2013/05/winfreys-commencement-address/
I know you all understand better than most that real progress requires authentic — an authentic way of being, honesty, and above all empathy. I have to say that the single most important lesson I learned in 25 years talking every single day to people, was that there is a common denominator in our human experience.
I have to say that the single most important lesson I learned in 25 years talking every single day to people, was that there is a common denominator in our human experience. Most of us, I tell you we don’t want to be divided. What we want, the common denominator that I found in every single interview, is we want to be validated. We want to be understood.
One of them Khadijah Williams, who came to Harvard four years ago. Khadijah had attended 12 schools in 12 years, living out of garbage bags amongst pimps and prostitutes and drug dealers; homeless, going in to department stores, Wal-Mart in the morning to bathe herself so that she wouldn’t smell in front of her classmates, and today she graduates as a member of the Harvard Class of 2013.

The Critical Thinking Society： How to Analyze the Logic of an Article, Essay, or Chapter
http://www.criticalthinking.org/pages/how-to-study-and-learn-part-three/515
To analyze thinking, we focus on its parts. In other words, we focus on the purpose of thinking, the questions the thinking is pursuing, the information being used, the assumptions and inferences being made, the concepts and point of view guiding the thinking, and its implications.
To evaluate or assess thinking, we apply intellectual standards to the parts of thinking, standards such as clarity, accuracy, relevance, logic, precision, justifiability, significance, depth, and breadth. For example, we ask whether the purpose and question are clear, the information relevant and accurate, the inferences and implications logical, the assumptions and concepts justifiable, the point of view relevant.

Hillary Wellesley College Student Commencement Speech
1969 Student Commencement Speech
Hillary Rodham Clinton --
Wellesley College
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpLg1EFb1vs
http://www.sojust.net/speeches/hillaryclinton_commencement.html
We protested against the rigid academic distribution requirement. We worked for a pass-fail system. We worked for a say in some of the process of academic decision making. And luckily we were in a place where, when we questioned the meaning of a liberal arts education there were people with enough imagination to respond to that questioning. So we have made progress. We have achieved some of the things that initially saw as lacking in that gap between expectation and reality.
And it's also a very unique American experience. It's such a great adventure. If the experiment in human living doesn't work in this country, in this age, it's not going to work anywhere.
But we also know that to be educated, the goal of it must be human liberation. A liberation enabling each of us to fulfill our capacity so as to be free to create within and around ourselves. To be educated to freedom must be evidenced in action, and here again is where we ask ourselves, as we have asked our parents and our teachers, questions about integrity, trust, and respect.

怎樣讓小男生愛上閱讀？
文 / 布錫克
你家的小男生是不是缺乏閱讀興趣？你是不是無奈地認爲，小男生天生就不愛讀書？其實不然。只要花點腦筋，用點智慧，就能引導他進入書中勝境。
你也許正爲10歲的兒子不願閱讀而氣餒，而你也沒法讓他明白閱讀能力在成人世界裏的重要性。送他一本書，他卻想踢球或者是去遛狗。他喜歡打遊戲和看動作片，遠勝于坐下來讀書。
