I never read Mother Goose or David Copperfield or Ivanhoe or Cinderella or Blue Beard or Robinson Crusoe or Jane Eyre or Alice in Wonderland or a word of Rudyard Kipling. I didn't know that Henry the Eighth was married more than once or that Shelley was a poet. I didn't know that people used to be monkeys and that the Garden of Eden was a beautiful myth. I didn't know that R. L. S. stood for Robert Louis Stevenson or that George Eliot was a lady. I had never seen a picture of the 'Mona Lisa' and (it's true but you won't believe it) I had never heard of Sherlock Holmes.
我从没听过《鹅妈妈》或《蓝胡子》或《劫后英雄传》或《灰姑娘》或《罗宾逊》或《简•爱》或是《爱丽丝漫游记》,或者吉卜林的片言只语,我不知道亨利八世曾经再婚,雪莱是诗人,人的祖先是猴子,也没有听说过伊甸园是个美丽的神话。我不知道R.L.S是罗伯特•路易斯•史蒂文生的缩写,更不知乔治•艾略特是女性。我从未看过一幅叫《蒙娜丽莎的微笑》的画,也从未听说过什么福尔摩斯。
Now, I know all of these things and a lot of others besides, but you can see how much I need to catch up. And oh, but it's fun! I look forward all day to evening, and then I put an 'engaged' on the door and get into my nice red bath robe and furry slippers and pile all the cushions behind me on the couch, and light the brass student lamp at my elbow, and read and read and read one book isn't enough.
