Reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope. I am still a little afraid of missing something if I forget that, as my father snobbishly suggested, and I snobbishly repeat, a sense of the fundamental decencies is parcelled out unequally at birth.
不給別人下定論是一件能帶來無限期盼的事。我父親曾勢力地提出,我也勢力地重複:人必要的正派感在出生時沒能等量分配。如果我一時忘了它,我倒有點害怕會錯過什麽。
