Best Overall: "The Essays of Warren Buffett"
最好的综合性书籍：《巴菲特致股东的信》
The fourth edition of "The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Corporate America" was released in 2015, and it's a worthy read if for no other reason than it pays to learn from the very best.
《巴菲特致股东的信：股份公司教程》第四版于2015年出版，如果只是为了向最优秀的人学习而不为其他的话那这本书值得一读。
You'd be hard-pressed to name a more successful investor than Buffett, and he's taken the time to share what he knows and has learned on the subject over the years.
你很难想出比巴菲特更成功的投资者，近些年他也花了些时间把他关于这一领域的所知所学传授给别人。
The title addresses "corporate America," but you can take that to include shareholders. The book offers an excellent explanation of the relationship between corporations and their shareholders, which makes it ideal for those new to investing who really don't have a handle on this yet.
标题中写的是“美国企业”，但你可以理解为说的是股东。这本书很好地解释了企业和股东之间的关系，对于那些刚接触投资，对这一领域知之甚少的人是理想之选。

Best Common Sense: "The Intelligent Investor"
最好的常识类书籍：《聪明的投资者》
Before his death, Benjamin Graham was a renowned professor known as the godfather of investing, and Zweig writes the Intelligent Investor column for The Wall Street Journal.
本杰明·格雷厄姆去世之前是一位知名教授，被誉为“投资教父”，而且茨威格还为《华尔街日报》写了《聪明的投资者》专栏。
What's unique about this book is its lack of "Rah! Rah! Anything is possible and anyone can do it!” rhetoric.
这本书的独特之处在于书中没有用“好啊！好啊！一切皆有可能，每个人都能做到！”这样华而不实的语言。
It mostly takes the opposite approach, although it's not without positive encouragement. It won't tell you how to make millions, but rather how not to lose your shirt.
虽然书中也有鼓励之词，但主要采用的是相反的方式。书中没有告诉你怎样赚到上百万，而是告诉你怎样不倾家荡产。
The authors impart must-read basics to get you started in investing and keep you going for a long time, from recommended strategies and how to analyze stocks to a comprehensive history lesson on the stock market.
作者传授了一些你投资初期必读的基础知识，够你用很长一段时间，书中涵盖的内容从推荐策略、股票分析方法到关于股票市场综合的历史教训。
Graham published the first edition of this book in 1949, and Buffett himself has called that version "the best book on investing ever written."
1949年格雷厄姆出版了这本书的第一版，巴菲特本人也将这一版称为“史上最伟大的投资书籍”。

It stands to reason that you'd want to learn from both of them, and Buffett has given his endorsement to Bogle's book, saying that "investors large and small" should read it.
显然，你会期待向他们二位学习，巴菲特称赞博格尔的书，说“大小投资者”都该读一读。
"The Little Book of Common Sense Investing: The Only Way to Guarantee Your Fair Share of Stock Market Returns" takes the surprising approach that for many investors, the stock market is a lose-lose proposition.

Then Bogle explains how he's learned to turn the odds in his favor.

This isn't Bogle's only book, but it's the one that manages to cover his own personal innovative techniques and truths in a relatively short and easy read.
这不是博格尔唯一的书，但它是一本以相对简短易读的方式来讲述他自己的创新技术和真相的书。
Best for Newbies: "A Random Walk Down Wall Street"
