II.TranslatethefollowingpassageintoChinese
在我成长的房子里有一间屋子，我们把它称做图书馆。
当然，那不是真正的图书馆，它仅仅是由电视机占据了主要位置的一间书斋。
但是它四面墙上全部装修了嵌入式书架，上面摆了数百本书籍—那些精装本的书籍呈现着各种颜色，它们在那间屋里把我们团团围住。
这些书是我父母和祖父母花了毕生的精力收集来的，它们成为我童年的一部分。
我这一代人—即20世纪50和60年代成年的人—可能是了解这种心情的最后一代人了，那种被上百万文字环绕着的感觉；那些文字是历代知名的和默默无闻的作家们的产品。
当前，在20世纪70年代中期，我们正目睹一个不易觉察却毫无疑问存在的慢慢背离书籍这类事物的倾向。
恐怕美国的家庭很快就不会再留出房间做图书馆了。
精装图书—那思想永驻的象征，那从一个时代向下一时代传留的智慧—可能会添加到我们将灭绝的物种名单上去。
