One of the pleasures of staying with friends is that you get to browse their shelves. I always arrive with a book, but I almost never read it. It would be like sitting at their dinner table and opening a packet of sandwiches.

  • -- Simon Hoggart 霍加特

和朋友呆在一起的乐趣之一就是你可以浏览他们的书架。我总是带着一本书来,但我几乎从未读过它。这就像坐在餐桌前打开一包三明治。
