Translation of Zheng Banqiao's Reading Full Text

Banqiao studied with his father when he was young, and there were no other teachers. When I was young, I didn't stand out. Later, I was a little older. Although I am tall, I am plain. No one thinks he will change. But he can study hard, make himself angry, set up his own point of view, and keep learning, from shallow to deep, from low to high, from near to far, to places where the ancients had profound knowledge, so that his little temperament and strength can be carried forward. People say that Banqiao has a good back, but they don't know that it is not a good back, but a good back. Banqiao must read a book a thousand times. On the boat, immediately, in the quilt, sometimes I forget my spoon and chopsticks when I eat, and sometimes I don't hear what the guests say or even forget what I say, all of which are silently recited. Is there anything in the book that you don't remember?

original text

Banqiao learns from his father and has no other teachers. When I was young, I was no different from others. Although he has grown up, he is ugly and salty. But reading can be self-assiduous, self-motivated (13), self-erect (1), unconventional, self-defeating (14), from shallow to deep, from humble (2) to sublime, from near and far (3) and (4) to (5). I don't know if it's good to remember, just carry it on your back. Banqiao has to read a thousand times every time. On the boat, immediately, under the quilt, or when eating (10), I forgot the dagger and chopsticks (12), or forgot what the guest said without listening to him, all of them remembered the book and recited it silently: Is there a reporter in the book?
