"Look, isn't it beautiful?" he asked, then answered his own question, "Yes, it's incredible! After seven hundred years, and it still looks excellent!"

“看啊，它漂不漂亮？”他问，然后又自问自答地说，“是啊，真不可思议！过了七百年，它看上去还是这么了不起！”

As he spoke, my uncle kept opening and closing the old book.

他一边说着，一遍不停地把那本旧书打开又合上。

"And what's the title of the wonderful book?" I asked, truly eager to discover the reason for such excitement.

“这本了不起的书叫什么名字呢？”我真的渴望知道是什么让他这么兴奋，于是就问。

"This book!" he answered, becoming more excited, "is the Heimskringla by Snorri Sturluson, the famous author of the twelfth century from Iceland. It's a book about the Princes from Norway who ruled Iceland."

“这本书，”他答道，神情更加兴奋了，“是斯洛尔.图勒森写的《王记》，十二世纪著名冰岛作家。这是一本有关统治冰岛挪威王子的书。

我不能明白为什么他对一本旧书如此的感兴趣？但是他继续带着兴奋称赞这本书。
A good book will never be forgotten by people. It is beneficial to make everyone  develop vision. A book is the same today as it was and it will never change.
