英文描述“纸质书是否被淘汰”

如今，像kindle和iPad这样的电子阅读器对读者来说是唾手可得的，这

引发了关于纸质书是否会成为过去式的激烈争论。

Nowadays, e-readers such as Kindles and iPads are readily accessible to

readers, which invite heated debate on whether the printed books will become

a thing of the past.

有些人认为印刷书籍已经成为过去。

Some suggest that printed books are a thing of the past.

他们声称，电子阅读器可以让你在口袋里随身携带一个图书馆，是那些

忙碌而又不想让大量书籍拖累自己的人的理想选择。

They claim that e-readers can let you carry a library around in your pocket

and are ideal for people who are on the go but don't want the bulk of multiple

books weighing them down.

更重要的是，它很容易根据自己的喜好调整电子书的字体大小，类型和

背景颜色。

What's more, it's easy to adjust the font size, type and background color of

electronic books according to one's own preferences.

最后，大量的电子书在网上免费或以更便宜的价格出售。

Last, tons of e-books are offered free or at a much cheaper price online.

然而，纸质书爱好者的看法却截然不同。

However, printed book lovers see things quite differently.

他们认为印刷书籍是可靠的和有形的，它们有助于记忆。

They argue that printed books are reliable and tangible and they contribute to

memory.

的确，就便利性、尺寸和存储空间而言，电子书在很多层面上似乎都是

平装书的更好替代品。

It's true that, e-books, on many levels, seem like better alternatives to

paperbacks in terms of convenience, size and storage space.

然而，我确实认为对纸质书的需求会一直存在，尽管目前这种需求在下

降。

However, I do believe there will always be a demand for printed books despite

the current decline.

一方面，网上的信息不能深入挖掘，缺乏深度和准确性，所以当人们想

要深入搜索一个主题时，仍然倾向于参考书籍。

For one thing, online information doesn't dig much further and lacks of depth

and accuracy, so people still tend to refer to books when they want to search

a subject in depth.

另一方面，没有其他媒体可以提供印刷书籍所特有的轻松和舒适。

For another, no other medium can provide the ease and comfort that are unique

to printed books.

最后，大多数人喜欢纸张散发的舒适气味或是一本好书的重量感。

Last but not least, a majority of people just like the comforting smell of paper

or the weight of a good book.

对于喜爱纸质书的人来说，用手指感受左边的书页逐渐变厚，而右边的

书页渐渐变薄是一种纯粹的乐趣。

As far as printed book lovers are concerned, it is a pure pleasure for them to

sense with their fingers a pile of pages on the left growing and shrinking on

the right.

此外，发现他们读过的所有书都充满了回忆是一种纯粹的享受。

Besides, it is a sheer enjoyment to find out that all books they have read are

filled with memories.

通过以上讨论，我大胆地得出结论:纸质书有其鲜明的优势和读者群体。

From what has been discussed above, I boldly conclude that printed books

have their own vivid advantages as well as reader groups.

因此，纸质书将永远在电子阅读器的冲击中存活下来。

Therefore, printed books will survive the onslaught of e-readers forever.
