把这一句，留给此刻的你

A boy is content to be made into a civil man by caning, or any one of a number of other stratagems, but a girl, being disqualified by Nature, as it were, from such physical brutality, must remain forever something of a terra incognita. Don't you think?

一个男孩满足于通过鞭刑或其他许多计谋中的任何一种使自己成为一个文质彬彬的人，而一个女孩，由于天生就被剥夺了这种身体上的暴行的资格，必须永远保持某种未知领域的东西。你不觉得吗?
