编者按：今天是世界读书日，正好学生的作业里有这么一篇文章。这篇文章介绍了作者从小就喜欢在父亲的书架上找书。这一习惯使他成为一个爱读书、爱收藏书的人。作者在父亲去世后继承了他的藏书，并通过这些书更加了解父亲。下面把这篇文章送给大家，希望大家有时间也多读读书。

  Today is the World Book and Copyright Day. And I happened to sign the follow passage as an assignement to the students. It’s about books the writer got from his Dad and what they influence him. This is a very good example for us to know the benifits we can get from books. Now let me read the passage to you。

The Books from Dad

 父亲留给我的书

作者：佚名   朗诵： 谭可  红树林

    "You can have my books. "

    That was Dad, a year before he died.

    I took after Dad in many ways, some of which I didn't really notice until after he died. It is funny because now the similarities seem so clear. There are the big ears, and the preference for classical music. And there are the books.

    As a teen, I discovered James Baldwin on Dad's bookshelf. I was too young to understand his books, but they were a gateway to other great authors. I got into the habit of seeking books on Dad's bookshelf. The habit shaped me as a reader. I developed the wish for books. I often go to bookstores and look for books.

    My book collection strengthened by the books I've inherited from Dad, brings me joy. I think I'm the keeper of something valuable and that if in the future a reader needs a book that's gone out of print, I could provide it. Some of Dad's books are broken. It seemed Dad bought them when he was a student, which explains the brittle yellow pages. But they are still important because they are Dad's books. Since he gave them to me, it is my job to care for them until they are passed down.  Who knows when someone will need them?

    I've learned a lot about Dad since he died because I continue to understand Dad through his books. I see each one as an important thing to know the person he was. There are many things we didn't talk about. We never talk about our preferences. I don't know what kind of books he enjoyed. While there are many chats I wish we'd had. I'm happy to have his books because I see the collection he left behind as a way to know him better.

父亲留给我的书

        “你可以拥有我的书。" 那是爸爸在去世前一年对我说的。

        在很多方面我跟爸爸很像——有些直到爸爸去世后我才真正注意到。有趣的是，现在这些相似之处看起来如此明显，包括对古典音乐的敏感，对古典音乐的喜欢，以及对书的喜爱。

        作为一个十几岁少年，我在爸爸书架上发现了詹姆斯·鲍德温。当时太年轻，无法理解爸爸的这些书，但他的书引领我认识了其他伟大的作家。我养成了在爸爸的书架上找书看的习惯。这个习惯把我塑造成了一个读者。我开始有了想要书读的愿望，我经常去书店找书看。

        我从爸爸那里继承的书，让我的藏书更加丰富，给我带来了快乐。我觉得我是一个有价值的东西的保管者，如果将来读者需要一本绝版的书，我可以提供。爸爸的一些书破了。看起来是爸爸在他还是学生的时候买的，这就解释了为什么会有易碎的黄页。但它们仍然很重要，因为它们是爸爸的书。自从爸爸把它们给了我，我的工作就是保管好它们，直到传承下去。说不定什么时候有人会需要它们。

        自从爸爸去世后，我对他有了很多了解，因为我继续通过他的书了解他。我把每本书都当作了解他是个什么样的人的一个重要来源。有很多事情我们没有谈论过，我们从不谈论自己的偏好，我不知道他喜欢什么样的书。虽然我希望和爸爸之前能多聊天，但我很高兴拥有爸爸的书，因为我觉得通过他留下的藏书，可以让我更好地了解他。
