What is the function of every sentence in Bacon's Talking about Reading?
First of all, I'll talk about the three functions of reading, namely, pleasing emotions, enriching colors and growing talents. "Enjoying emotions" makes people live in seclusion without losing their interest in life, "strong colors" make people distinguish words or set off the atmosphere, and "long talents" make people look at the overall situation, treat people with things and enter the industry, making their proficiency in this field more complete.

Secondly, the article talks about how to read. There are good and bad books, and opening them is not necessarily beneficial, so we should treat them differently: most of the ones that can be tasted and swallowed only need browsing, and a few need to read and digest them carefully.

Third, storytelling is like a mirror, which can reflect a variety of lifestyles. Cunning people despise reading, while ignorant people admire reading. Only wise people can read, and reading can not only dabble in it, but also surpass it. They can combine the wisdom and experience of life transmitted in books, modify and cut them, and choose to stay or stay. The so-called "wisdom of using books is not in books, but in books."

Fourth, storytelling is like a good medicine, which can cure all kinds of mental defects. Different books have their own strengths, history makes people wise, poetry makes people witty, science makes people profound and logic makes people eloquent. Therefore, reading should vary from person to person, just like treating a disease with the right medicine.
