[Ancient Chinese Translation] Help me translate a short passage in The Story of a Good House.

Su hexuan is my library. I have many hobbies. Why should I call my hobby of books "my hobby"? That's because my interest in books is stronger than other hobbies. Why do I like books more than all my hobbies? I like food, building houses, playing, making friends, making flowers, bamboo and spring stones. I respect these precious ritual vessels, wine vessels, celebrity calligraphy and painting, and of course books. The hobby of books is no different from other hobbies. Why did you name it "Suo Haoxuan" because you like books? That's because: you can be beautiful when you are young, and you can eat well when you are not full. Be sure to make friends with like-minded people. It is best to go out to play before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day. The hobby of palace flower stone antiques is that when they are just bought, they will soon be fresh. And this kind of things, books, whether young, old, hungry, cold, wind and rain, are unlimited and have endless hobbies.

Even so, rejecting other hobbies and loving books more is like rejecting an intimate friend who is not serious and looking for a strict teacher. Hobbies are a little fake. End other hobbies and love books more, just like when guests leave at dinner and old friends stay, your hobbies are a little narrow. Once upon a time, I loved mutton dates rather than barbecues, but when it comes to barbecues, I never accepted them. Why? I followed everyone's common hobby. My other hobby is obeying others. Only loving books is obeying myself. So I should attribute my "hobby" to books.

I liked books when I was a child, but I couldn't get them at that time. Now that I am old, I use my salary to buy books. Of all the books collected by the imperial court, I have collected almost six or seven tenths. I used to worry about not getting this book, but now I'm afraid of losing it. I was just afraid of losing this, so I naturally named my bookstore "I like it".
