1. Yet he did not leave a foot of this granite wall, as impenetrable as
futurity, without strict scrutiny;
可是，这些象“未来”一样难以渗透的花岗石壁，他把别的地方都仔仔细细的检查过了。
2. If a wise man is not amazed at sudden occurrences, it is not that he has thought more, but less upon
futurity. (No. 29
如果一个聪明的人，对眼前突然发生的事不惊奇，不是因为他想得太多，而是因为他想到未来太少。
3. Would it not be better for him to die at once, and go to wait for her in the blessed regions of semi-barbaric
futurity? …
难道马上让他死去，在那个处于半开化的未来天堂等待着她不是更美好吗？
