Reading novels used to be a mainstream enjoyment in the past. However people got more interests in watching movies than reading novels after the movie came into our life. Then people diverge in the question: which is the better enjoyment? For me, reading stories is more joyful and I will give my reasons in the following.
在过去读小说通常是人们的一项主要娱乐活动。然而，当电影进入人们的生活之后，大家对看电影的兴趣比读小说的兴趣多。哪种方式的娱乐活动更好？对这个问题人们各自有不同的答案。对于我来说，阅读小说更具趣味，下面是我给出的原因。
Firstly, I can get mo【英语翻译学习网（enfanyi.com）第一英语学习门户，提高英语能力就上英语翻译学习网】re information about the story and the characters in the novels. But a movie needs to display the story in the limited period of time, usually about two hours. Therefore the director have to adopt the important part of the story and abandon the rest parts, but these trivial plots draw more interests from the readers.
首先，我能够得到更多关于小说和小说里的人物的信息。但是电影只能在有限的时间里述说故事，通常是两个小时。因此导演不得不选取小说的重要情节并放弃其余的部分，但是这些不重要的情节也许更受读者喜爱。
The second reason is that I can get more enjoyment from reading novels, especially the procedure of turning the plots into varied images in my brain. That is a real fantastic experience. Although by watching the movies I can get the concrete pictures and amazing sounds, it is different from my ideas and it makes me a little disappointed. Because the movies shows the directors' thoughts and versions about the novels, which do not satisfied me in the whole. Besides, some directors may do some changes and even destroy the real stories, I think.
第二个原因则是我能够获得更多的趣味，特别是在将故事情节在脑中转化成不同想象画面的时候。这是十分奇妙的经验。尽管通过看电影我可以看到具体的图像和美妙的音乐，但是这些图像跟我想像的图像不同，还有点让我失望。因为电影只是从导演的角度展现他对小说的想法，这些想法各个方面都不太让我满意。此外，我认为有些导演会对原著做些改变甚至是毁掉原著。
To sum up, I prefer to reading a novel to watching a movie because I can get more joy, more interested plots, and more fantasy experience from reading novels than watching movies.
总之，比起看电影我更青睐阅读小说，因为读原著可以获得更多趣味和更有意思的情节，还有就是比起看电影读小说更加有趣的体验。
