中学生要不要读名著

“名着”是很容易让大多数中学生敬而远之的两个字，特别是在选择日益增多的今天，反映中学生校园生活与情感的小说随笔与成功的同龄人自传更受中学生欢迎。它们有时代气息，符合中学生心理需求，自然比那些距离遥远、长篇巨制的名着更有吸引力，但这正如大众与精英的关系，谁也不能取代谁，而后者更值得关注。

"Famous" is easy to let most middle school students stay away from it, especially in today's increasing choices, novel essays and successful autobiographies of peers reflecting middle school students' campus life and emotions are more popular with middle school students. They have the flavor of the times and meet the psychological needs of middle school students. Naturally, they are more attractive than those famous long-distance and large-scale works. But just like the relationship between the masses and the elites, no one can replace them, and the latter deserves more attention.

名着的思想深度与文学地位毋须多说，这既让一些人选择了它，又让许多人对它退避三舍。其实名着中有许多东西能被中学生接受而且能使他们获益匪浅。

It is needless to say that the thought depth and literary status of famous works not only let some people choose it, but also let many people avoid it. In fact, there are many things that can be accepted by middle school students and can benefit them a lot.

名着更深地挖掘了人性，加入了人类其他崇高的情感。它把人从狭隘的个人情感中拉出来，融入整个时代，这正是当代中学生所需要的。中学生情感十分丰富，对亲情、友情，特别是爱情都有了自己独特的看法，而且这最初的人生观发展并不稳定。现在的市场上出现了所谓的“突围文学”，它们大多文字晦涩，描写了少男少女们好奇的成人生活。它们真实地记录了作者的个人情感，但因所处的这个多变的时代而包含了许多消极颓废的因素，这种作品很容易有负面的影响。而这时，名着就能为他们在情感上有一个引导，名着中有许多勇敢追求爱情的人物，虽然大多数是悲剧，但在这种“把有价值的东西毁灭给人看”的作品中更能震撼中学生读者，让他们读懂珍惜情感，明白这种珍贵的情感需要小心呵护。这是普通情感小说无法相比的。

Mingzhe deeply excavates human nature and adds other noble human emotions. It pulls people out of narrow personal feelings and integrates them into the whole era, which is exactly what contemporary middle school students need. Middle school students are very rich in emotion. They have their own unique views on family, friendship, especially love, and the initial outlook on life is not stable. Now there are so-called "breakthrough literature" in the market. Most of them are obscure and describe the curious adult life of young men and girls. They really record the author's personal feelings, but because of this changeable era, they contain many negative and decadent factors. This kind of works is easy to have negative influence. At this time, Mingzhe can provide them with an emotional guide. There are many brave characters who pursue love. Although most of them are tragedies, in this kind of work of "destroying valuable things to others", it can shock the middle school students' readers more, let them understand and cherish emotions, and understand that this precious emotion needs to be carefully protected. This is incomparable to ordinary emotional novels.

完整充实的情节与细节能激发读者丰富的想象。有些所谓文学作品，它们都是由空洞的内容构架而成，推动情节高潮的往往是一些怪诞的事件，第一遍虽让人读得津津有味，但缺乏值得回味的东西，文学性与思想性都大打折扣，远不能吸引人。名着的内容有的冗长严肃，有的轻松活泼，大多有着曲折的情节。如大仲马、马克·吐温、狄更斯的小说，故事性都很强；莫泊桑、茨威格、欧·亨利的短篇小说，点睛之处让人拍案叫绝，合上书还会久久沉浸在作品中不能自拔。名着，就是让人反复读都放不下的那种书。

The complete and substantial plot and details can stimulate readers' rich imagination. Some so-called literary works are all framed by empty content, and the climax of the plot is often driven by some strange events. Although the first time people read it with great interest, but there is a lack of something worthy of aftertaste, the literariness and thoughtfulness are greatly reduced, far from attracting people. Some of the famous contents are long and serious, some are relaxed and lively, and most of them have twists and turns. For example, the novels of Dumas, Mark Twain and Dickens are all very storytelling; the short stories of Maupassant, Zweig and O. Henry make people clap at the top of the story, and they will be immersed in the works for a long time after closing the book. Famous is the kind of book that people can't put down even if they read it repeatedly.

中学生在阅读上理应对自己有更高的要求，扩大知识面也是读名着的目的之一。一个时代的文学特色，风俗习惯也能在名着中体现得淋漓尽致。如《笑面人》中有些显得过长的描述，不失为了解那个时代的珍贵材料，《斯巴达克思》则在一个史诗般的故事中构筑了整个古罗马从宗教到战争的大画面，令人叹为观止。

Middle school students should have higher requirements in reading, and expanding knowledge is one of the purposes of reading. The literary features and customs of an era can also be fully reflected in its fame. For example, some descriptions in smiley face are too long, which are precious materials to understand that era. Spartacus, in an epic story, constructs a large picture of the whole ancient Rome from religion to war, which is amazing.

我认为，中学生正处在人生的花季，需要新鲜自由的空气，更需要脚下坚实的土壤。一本合适的名着应该成为他天空中众多明星中的一个，指引他前进。

I think that middle school students are in the flower season of life. They need fresh and free air, and they need solid soil under their feet. A proper name should be one of the many stars in his sky to guide him forward.
