As we all know, books, especially the classical, present the precious accumulation of wisdom and knowledge beyond the limitation of time or space, from which we can enjoy numerous anecdotes, get to know exotic culture and tradition, experience the legendary and miraculous life of our idols and make ourselves better men day by day. 此段先從經典書籍自身來談重要性的，然后再從經典書籍帶到的好處來談其重要性

　　Nevertheless, people, especially the young, seem to have stored those classical books merely on the shelf for an unbelievably long time, which can be attributed to various factors.

　　On the one hand, modern people have to cope with the quick pace and unavoidable stress of their work or life; therefore, they can hardly devote time to reading books. On the other hand, people tend to be more material-oriented involving their social status, amount of wealth or prospects of getting promotion, which eclipse the important benefits from reading classical books. 這兩個原因都是大環境著手的，一個講生活快節奏和學習工作壓力來談，另一個從此環境下人們的習慣和性情都不適合閱讀經典。大家也可按照我上面給的思路從內外因來入手。

　　To me, it is essential for most undergraduates to read certain classical books, especially ones filled with life-long motivation and sagacious thoughts, which may not guarantee them short-term returns but will bring them far-reaching reward.

　　這段結尾有點沒人情味，估計同學們除了佩服，也學不會這么多大詞。比較好掌握的就是認識重要性，要去多閱讀，升華一下主題。
