Ruth is so loyal and gentle-hearted, we cannot help loving her, as she stands with the reapers amid the waving corn. Her beautiful, unselfish spirit shines out like a bright star in the night of a dark and cruel age. Love like Ruth's, love which can rise above conflicting creeds and deep-seated racial prejudices, is hard to find in all the world.
路得是如此地善良而忠诚，当她和收割者们一同站在起伏的麦田里时，我们都会禁不住对她产生喜爱之情。美丽而无私的路得如同黑暗岁月中一颗光芒四射的星辰，如果人们都怀有像路得一样的爱心，那么这种爱一定可以超越宗教教义和根深蒂固的种族偏见，继而成为普世之爱，但是你很难在世界上找到这样的爱。
The Bible gives me a deep, comforting sense that "things seen are temporal, and things unseen are eternal."
《圣经》带给我最深切而抚慰的感受，就是“眼目可见之物均属过眼云烟；眼目不可见之物实乃永恒”。
I do not remember a time since I have been capable of loving books that I have not loved Shakespeare. I cannot tell exactly when I began Lamb's "Tales from Shakespeare"; but I know that I read them at first with a child's understanding and a child's wonder. "Macbeth" seems to have impressed me most. One reading was sufficient to stamp every detail of the story upon my memory forever. For a long time the ghosts and witches pursued me even into Dreamland. I could see, absolutely see, the dagger and Lady Macbeth's little white hand—the dreadful stain was as real to me as to the grief-stricken queen.
在我喜好的书籍中当然少不了莎士比亚。我无法确切说出我是什么时候开始读兰姆的《莎士比亚故事集》的，但是我知道我最初是以一个孩童的理解力和好奇心来读莎士比亚的。《麦克白》似乎是令我印象最深的一部作品。这出悲剧的震撼力足可以让我永远记住其中的每一处故事情节。有很长一段时间，幽灵和女巫甚至追逐至我的梦乡。我能看见，实实在在地看见，匕首和麦克白夫人娇小而苍白的手——极度悲伤的王后境况堪忧，这一幕在我看来是如此地真切，仿佛历历在目。
I read "King Lear" soon after "Macbeth," and I shall never forget the feeling of horror when I came to the scene in which Gloster's eyes are put out. Anger seized me, my fingers refused to move, I sat rigid for one long moment, the blood throbbing in my temples, and all the hatred that a child can feel concentrated in my heart.
在《麦克白》之后，我读了《李尔王》。我决不会忘记格罗斯特的双眼被弄瞎时的恐怖景象。愤怒攫住了我的内心，我的手指不再移动（读取文字），我怔怔地坐了良久，血液在我的太阳穴里汩汩涌动，那一刻，我体会到了一个小孩子胸中所能积蓄的所有憎恨。
