When I was young I was amazed at Plutarch's statement that the elder Cato began at the age of eighty to learn Greek. I am amazed no longer. Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.

  • -- Groucho Marx 格劳乔·马克斯

当我年轻的时候，我对普鲁塔克所说的老卡托在八十岁时开始学希腊语感到惊讶。我不再感到惊讶了。老年人愿意承担年轻人逃避的任务，因为这些任务耗时太长。
