開卷有益，是古人獎勵讀書的一句成語。從前讀到一冊壞書，讀后每覺得為古人所欺；現在多了一點智識，反過來又覺得古人的不欺我了。總之，好書讀了，原有所得，就是可以知道它的好處在哪里，可是壞書讀了，而知道它的壞的原因與地方，豈不也是一得？從前孔子說的“三人行，必有我師”之意，也不一定是從正的一方面著想，反過來在負的一方面，也何嘗不可以為鑒戒。因此，從前是非有定評之書不讀的，現在卻馬勃牛溲了，一例的都想看看了，這大約總也是一種進步的現象。
“Opening a book is beneficial” is an idiom used by ancient people to reward reading. I used to feel misled by the ancients after reading a bad book. Now being a little wiser. I don’t feel deceived by the ancients anymore. In a word, one can gain insight into its benefits after reading a good book, while to figure out the deficiency of a bad book is rewarding as well. What Confucius means by saying “’If three of us are walking together, at least one of the other two can be my teacher” is not necessarily a positive example. On the contrary, it also holds water in offering us a negative example as a warning. Therefore, once I would not accept books with fixed reviews, but now I get to take interest in whatever books. It probably is a sign of progress.
