中学生该不该读武侠小说

眼下，在中学生当中关于该不该看武侠小说的问题有不少争议。我认为，武侠小说尤其是金庸、古龙等名家的武侠小说值得一读。

At present, there are many disputes among middle school students about whether they should read martial arts novels or not. I think it's worth reading martial arts novels, especially those by famous scholars such as Jin Yong and Gu Long.

很多人认为小说俗，没有价值。一些中学生也把读武侠小说当成学习之余调节身心，换换脑子或是打发时间的最佳办法。虽然武侠小说属于通俗文学，但内容多是关于生死、朋友、刀剑、大义、爱国、爱情、经济、酒……一点也不俗气，相反，不少主题还很高尚，使现代人缺少的美德。有人认为武侠小说太过血腥暴力，太残酷，但这是“以暴易暴，以杀止杀”主题的体现，是维护正义的必要手段。还有人认为武侠小说太不真实，都是吹牛。那么李白的诗句，什么“白发三千丈”“黄河之水天上流”也有点太玄了。凭什么李白的夸张就是浪漫主义，武侠小说的夸张就是吹牛呢？再有人认为武侠小说文字粗俗，那他一定是专读以武侠小说为幌子的艳情小说了。仅将小说文学当成消遣是不够积极的。细读武侠小说可以学到许多东西。一些大家的力作堪称“百科全书”。以《天龙八部》为例，其中包括地理、历史、围棋、佛学、道学等知识。这里面有很多东西是课本上根本学步到的。如果在读武侠小说的同时注意吸取其中的知识那是大有裨益的。

Many people think that novels are vulgar and worthless. Some middle school students also regard reading martial arts novels as the best way to adjust their body and mind, change their minds or pass the time. Although martial arts novels belong to popular literature, most of them are about life and death, friends, swords, righteousness, patriotism, love, economy, wine It's not vulgar at all. On the contrary, many themes are noble, which makes modern people lack virtues. Some people think that martial arts novels are too bloody, too cruel, but this is the embodiment of the theme of "violence, killing and killing", which is the necessary means to maintain justice. Some people think martial arts novels are too untrue. They are all bragging. So Li Bai's poem, what "white hair three thousand Zhang" and "the water of the Yellow River is flowing in the sky" is also a little too mysterious. Why is Li Bai's exaggeration romantic? Is the exaggeration of martial arts novels bragging? Some people think that the characters of martial arts novels are vulgar. Then he must be reading erotic novels under the guise of martial arts novels. It is not positive to regard fiction as a pastime. Reading martial arts novels carefully can learn a lot. Some of your masterpieces are called encyclopedias. Take Tianlong Babu as an example, including geography, history, go, Buddhism, Taoism and other knowledge. There are many things in it that are learned in textbooks. It is of great benefit to learn the knowledge while reading martial arts novels.

有的中学生抱怨说看武侠小说会上瘾，影响学习成绩并导致视力下降。我认为这种现象不在少数，但问题不在武侠小说本身。事物本身并无好坏，决定好坏的是人。鸦片在好的医生手中是上好的止痛、止泻药，在不法商贩手中是“福寿膏”；武器在公安手中是保卫人民的工具，在歹徒手中是犯罪的凶器；权力在正直的人手中将是人民的福祉，在心术不正的人手中将是人民的祸害。同样，武侠小说在一些中学生手中成了拖累，也只能找自己的原因。总不能“非我也，兵也”似的把责任推给武侠小说吧。人和动物最根本的区别是能克制住自己。他们如果能克制住自己，也就不会有上述情况发生了。

Some middle school students complain that they will be addicted to martial arts novels, which will affect their academic performance and lead to vision loss. I think this phenomenon is not in the minority, but the problem is not in the martial arts novels themselves. Things themselves are not good or bad. It's people who determine good or bad. Opium is the best painkiller and antidiarrheal in the hands of good doctors, and "longevity cream" in the hands of illegal traders; weapons are the tool to protect the people in the hands of public security, and the weapon to commit crimes in the hands of gangsters; power will be the well-being of the people in the hands of integrity, and vice versa. Similarly, martial arts novels in the hands of some middle school students have become a drag, but also can only find their own reasons. It's impossible to "not me, not soldiers" to blame the martial arts novels. The fundamental difference between human beings and animals is that they can control themselves. If they could restrain themselves, they would not have happened.

武侠小说只是众多文学流派中的一种，并无可怕之处。中学生们如果能克制住自己，在学习之余，不妨读一读武侠小说，既能缓解疲劳，又能增长见识，何乐而不为？

Martial arts novels are just one of many literary schools, and there is nothing terrible about them. If middle school students can restrain themselves and read martial arts novels after study, they can not only relieve fatigue, but also increase their knowledge. Why not?
