估计是Ansell在对Ricky说话
"I answer none of your letters. You are quite hopeless by now. You can go to the bad. But I refuse to accompany you. I refuse to believe that every human being is a moving wonder of supreme interest and tragedy and
Beauty我也拒绝相信--which was what the letter in question amounted to. You'll find plenty who will believe it. It's a very popular view among people who are too idle to think; it saves them the trouble of detecting the beautiful from the ugly, the interesting from the dull, the tragic悲剧 from the melodramatic传奇剧.哈哈，这倒是典型的F的人生观啊，我说不出这么漂亮的理由，下次可以拿来跟小猪耍嘴皮子：）
You had just come from Sawston, and were apparently carried away by the fact that Miss Pembroke had the usual amount of arms and legs."哈哈哈，这话妒忌得简直要让我笑掉大牙啦。酸的吓四人啊：）
Ricky/F与Ansell/M的对话
（Ricky说）You have no idea--at least, I think you have no idea--how the great world looks down on it."其实我倒能理解，大概指的是大自然吧。可是M接下来的话真是让我哑口无言，这人也太能辩了吧，汗。。。
"Till you do, my opinions will be as follows: There is no great world at all, only a little earth.。。The earth is full of tiny societies, and Cambridge is one of them. All the societies are narrow, but some are good and some are bad--just as one house is beautiful inside and another ugly.
小房子比作小社会
The good societies say, `I tell you to do this because I am Cambridge.' The bad ones say, `I tell you to do that 。。。`because I am the great world.' They lie. And fools like you listen to them, and believe that they are a thing which does not exist and never has existed, and confuse 'great,' which has no meaning whatever, with 'good,' which means salvation.拯救
大没有意义，好才有意义。道理确实是对的，但有必要说得这么繁复么？要是Thoreau,估计很顺畅地几句话就可以形象表达了吧。
It matters very much to me what the world is like. I can't answer your questions about it; and that's no loss to you, but so much the worse for me. And then you've got a house--not a metaphorical one, but a house with father and sisters.没想到这么早，Meredith就想好了自己的未来。
I haven't, and never shall have. There'll never again be a home for me like Cambridge. I shall only look at the outside of homes. According to your metaphor比喻, I shall live in the street, and it matters very much to me what I find there."
Ricky/F的不安，我倒是第一次看到。知道自己不会结婚吧。
