好多年前,写过篇谈书的文章。当时,中国的出版界还不像今天这么兴旺发达。那时,中国的出版业正值峰回路转,刚从计划经济向市场经济转轨,如今的诸多举措在那时是不可想象的。那会,一年出几万种书就不得了,今天,全国一年出版新书19万种,这还不算10 万种左右的重版书。年近30万种的图书铺天盖地涌向市场,你不得不承认:泱泱出版大国,非我们莫属。 Many years ago, I wrote a treatise on articles. At that time, China’s publishing industry was not as prosperous as it is today. At that time, the publishing industry in China was on the verge of a sudden turnaround. The transition from a planned economy to a market economy has just taken place and many of today’s measures were inconceivable at that time. That would have taken tens of thousands of kinds of books a year, and today there are 190,000 kinds of new books published throughout the country this year, which is not about 100,000 kinds of reprinting books. Nearly 300,000 kinds of books are pouring into the market every year. You have to admit that you are not a big power publishing big country.
