My grandfather had a particularly important influence on my life, even though I didn't visit him often, since he lived about three miles out of town and he died when I was six. He was remarkably curious about the world, and he read lots of books.
我的祖父对我的生活有着特别重要的影响，尽管我不常去看望他，因为他住在离城镇大约三英里的地方，我六岁那年他去世了。他对世界非常好奇，读了很多书。
