Read aloud: a bookshop at night
HSKK Advanced read-aloud: an original short text about a bookshop at night. About 3 minutes to prepare, 2 minutes to read.
请朗读下面这段文字。
Please read the following passage aloud.
这座书店过了十点并不打烊，只是把音乐调得更低，把灯光留在书架中间。有人专门选这个时候来，不是为了把书买完，而是为了在安静里把一章读完。店员很少主动打招呼，却能在你犹豫的时候，把一本刚好相关的书轻轻推到你手边。城市在窗外继续热闹，店里的时间却好像慢了一拍。这样的地方留不住所有人，可一旦你习惯了它的安静，就会发现：有些问题不必立刻回答，先读完这一页也可以。
