所以一 定要我指出哪一间是书斋，那可不容易。
I have books everywhere in my home 一 in the drawing room and the bedroom, on either side of the staircase, and even in the bathroom on the third floor.
也许在我卧房隔壁的一间最 像，中间有只书桌，可是书桌上又堆满了书，没有地方摆稿纸，也没 有地方摆砚台，我又不会用钢笔写文章。
So it's next to impossible for me to point out exactly where my study is.
用钢笔写，我总嫌太滑，太 快；它几乎不容你思想。
Maybe it's the room next to my bedroom.
我喜欢毛笔，它总伴着你，有时也许比你快 一步，可是你总追得到。
In the middle of it stands nothing but a desk a piled high with lots of books SO that there is practically no room for me to place my writing paper and the inkstone.
这个小房间里还有两只安乐椅；一个书架， 里面是我最心爱的书籍，不肯借人的。
The inkstone is indispensable to me because I always use a writing brush instead of a a pen in doing my writing.
墙上只有一张水仙面.浅淡的 笔姿给你一种清高的空气；偶然在看书的时候想到自己不久要穷得不 成个样子，它就会显示你一个最伟大的希望，所以有几个晚上，我简 直就呆对着这张画。
I find the pen too slippery and moving a bit too fast, thus leaving little time for me to do more thinking. prefer the writing brush because can always keep pace with it.
这个小房间，长不满十五尺，宽不满十尺，关于现代诗的书籍， 我都放在里面：书架里放不下，便放在桌子上；桌子上放不下，便堆 在椅子里；椅子里放不下，便益在地上。
Though it sometimes may also move along a bit too fast, yet can always catch up.
理由是我从不整理我的书籍， 买到了新书就随便放，看过了又随便丢；假使为了写一篇文章，需 要参考时，每每费半个一个钟头去寻免。
There are only two armchairs in the room plus a bookcase holding my most favorite books, which are not to be borrowed by anybody.
通常一个人有了这许多放书的房间，他便总会为它们取许多雅致 的名字：什么室，什么斋，什么楼之类。
Hanging on the wall is painting of narcissi done with light touches of ink imparting an air of moral superiority.
一半当然为了借这个机会可 以写些大字，叫一做匾的人刻好了挂起来；一半也是为自己或是家人 找书的时候容易辨别。
Occasionally, while am reading, I suddenly realize Il1 soon face penury.
我却懒得花这种心思，所以像上面所说的那 个房间，我们便叫作"楼上书房"。
Then the painting will cheer me up with bright hopes.
楼下的叫作"楼下书房"；三层楼 的叫作"三层楼书房"。
On several nights, I just sat in this room staring at it blankly.
我平时读书写文章，都在夜间，所以坐在"楼上书房"的机会多， 因为它最近我的卧室，倦了，跨几步便到床上。
The little room is about 5 meters in length and 3 meters in width.
但是当我准备要全夜 写文章的时候，便只能待在"楼下书房"了。
I keep all books on modern poetry there.
那时候两个大房间里只 有我一个人，咳嗽，刮洋火，便不会闹醒人家；天亮了，自己炖杯牛 奶，或是走到对面弄堂里买些油豆腐，谁都不会觉得讨厌。
When the bookease is full, I put them on the desk.
白天总是 不在家的时候多，一回家便得寻了书读；书拿到手，电话又来了。
When the desk is full. pile them up on the chairs.
朋 友又喜欢要我写文章，因为我最明白编辑的痛苦，要二三千字我总肯 为他赶写。
When the chairs are full, I pile them up on the floor.
我是无论如何脱离不了我的书斋的了。
I never sort them out.
但是除非在我读书或是写 文章到了出神的时候，我总会感觉到这几间书斋没有一间是舒服的。
I lay aside casually new acquisitions as well as books T've just finished reading.
我理想的书斋是一个极大的房间，里面要能容下二十个书架，冬天有 热书汀；夏天有冷气。
Consequently, it often takes me couple of hours to hunt down a book for reference when I am writing.
我希望有一只最大的书桌，上面可以尽我把书 籍纸张乱堆，中间还可以留一些地方安置笔砚稿纸之类。
Generally speaking, with so many rooms for storing books, one will assign to each an elegant name, to be inscribed on a horizontal board hung above the door, partly for show and partly for convenience.
这个当然是 我的奢望：我既没有财力去得到那样大的书斋，我也没有才力去写出 什么大文章来，不过希望也是-种安慰，同时还是一种鼓励。
I, nevertheless, have never been in a mood for doing the same.
但是，无论如何，我白天是写不出文章的。"楼上书房"的光线 太大，多呆了会头痛，用了太厚的窗帏又会闷气。"楼下书房"事实 上又是会客间，我的客人又多，文章写到一半，来了几个朋友，反 而大家不舒服。
I just call the above- mentioned room "Upstairs Study", the room downstairs "Downstairs Study" and the bathroom on the third floor Third-floor Study" Since I usually read and write at night, you'll often find me sitting in the "Upstairs Study" because it is close to my bedroom.
我写文章还有一个坏习惯，和吃饭一样不能停，一停 了就吃不下。
When \] feel drowsy, I can easily reach my bed only a few steps away.
