Returning to a book you’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There’s a welcome familiarity — but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don’t change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative. 重读一本读过很多遍的书，就像和老朋友一起畅饮。这是一种受欢迎的熟悉感，但有时也有一丝怀疑，时间改变了你们两，关系也是。但是书不会变，人会变。这就是为什么重读会如此丰富而富有变化。 The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It’s true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s all about the present. It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight. 重读的美妙之处在于，我们与作品的联系是建立在我们目前的心理状态之上的。的确，我年纪越大，越觉得时间有翅膀。但是阅读，都是关于当下的。它是关于现在和一个人对现在的贡献，因为阅读是作者和读者之间的一种取舍。每个人都要尽自己的力量。 There are three books I reread annually The first, which I take to reading every spring is Emest Hemningway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating, an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortazar’s Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortazar. 每年我都要重读三本书，第一本是我每年春天都要读的海明威的《移动的盛宴》。这本书出版于1964年，是他20世纪20年代巴黎生活的经典回忆录。语言令人着迷，一位上了年纪的作家回顾了一个雄心勃勃但却简单的时代。另一部是安妮·迪拉德的《神圣的坚实》，一部1975年的随笔，漫谈一切和虚无。第三本书是胡里奥·科塔扎尔的《拯救黄昏：诗选》，因为诗歌，因为科塔扎尔。 While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it’s you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends. 虽然我总是买很多书，但这三本书是别人送我的礼物，这可能增加了我赋予它们的意义。但我想，虽然金钱确实是美妙和必要的，但重读作者的作品是读者能支付给他们的最高报酬。最好的书可以随着时间的推移而看得更远。但请记住，你必须成长，不断地阅读和重读，以便更好地了解你的朋友。

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem. 研究表明，竞走和跑步一样，有许多健身益处，但造成的伤害可能最小。不过，它也有自己的问题。 Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass. 成为竞走运动员是有条件的。夏季奥运会最长的田径项目是50公里竞走，比马拉松长约5英里。这项运动的规则要求竞走者在摆动腿的大部分时间里膝盖保持笔直，一只脚与地面始终保持接触。然而，马萨诸塞州塞勒姆州立大学运动科学助理教授杰克琳•诺伯格说，正是奇怪形式使竞走成为非常吸引人的活动。 Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour. 她说，和跑步一样，竞走对身体的要求也很高，根据大多数计算结果，每小时6英里的速度行走的竞走者每小时大约消耗800卡路里，大约是他们步行消耗热量的两倍，尽管比跑步少，跑步每小时可能消耗1000以上卡路里。 However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step. 然而，诺伯格博士说，竞走对身体的冲击不如跑步。根据她的研究，跑步者撞击地面的重量是他们体重的四倍，而不离开地面的竞走者每踏一步的重量只有体重的1.4倍。 As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice. 因此，她说，一些与跑步有关的损伤，比如跑步者的膝盖，在竞走者中并不常见。但这项运动的奇怪形式确实给脚踝和臀部带来了相当大的压力，因此有过这类损伤史的人在采用这项运动时可能需要谨慎。她说，事实上，任何想尝试竞走的人都应该先咨询教练或有经验的竞走者，学习正确的技术。这需要一些练习。
