中国教育工作者早就认识到读书对于国家的重要意义。有些教育工作者2003年就建议设立全民读书日。他们强调，人们应当读好书，尤其是经典著作。通过阅读，人们能更好地学会感恩、有责任心和与人合作，而教育的目的正是要培养这些基本素质。阅读对于中小学生尤为重要，假如他们没有在这个关键时期培养阅读的兴趣，以后要养成阅读的习惯就很难了。

【四级翻译参考译文】

Chinese educators have long realized the importance of reading for the country. As early as 2003, some educators proposed to set up a National Book and Copyright Day. They emphasized that people should read good books, especially the classics. Through reading, people can better learn to be grateful, responsible and cooperative. And these essential qualities are just what education wants to cultivate. Reading is particularly important for middle school students, if they do not develop an interest in reading during this critical period, it will be difficult for them to get into the habit of reading in the future.
