A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
牛津大学
Oxford
Oxford, the paradise of dead philosophies.
牛津，死亡哲学的天堂。
Oxford also taught me something else - it taught me scepticism.
牛津还教会了我一些别的东西——它教会了我怀疑。
The Oxford manner is, alas, indefinable; I was going to say indefensible.
唉，牛津式的态度是无法定义的;我要说的是站不住脚。
Oxford is Oxford: not a mere receptacle for youth, like Cambridge. Perhaps it wants its inmates to love it rather than to love one another.
牛津就是牛津:不像剑桥，它不仅仅是年轻人的聚集地。也许它想让它的囚犯爱它，而不是彼此相爱。
The truth is that Oxford is simply a very beautiful city in which it is convenient to segregate a certain number of the young of the nation while they are growing up.
事实上，牛津只是一个非常美丽的城市，在这里，人们可以很方便地隔离这个国家的一部分正在成长的年轻人。
I wonder anybody does anything at Oxford but dream and remember, the place is so beautiful. One almost expects the people to sing instead of speaking. It is all like an opera.
我想知道在牛津，除了梦想和记住，还有人在做什么，那地方太美了。人们几乎期望人们唱歌而不是说话。这就像一出歌剧。
I won a Marshall scholarship to read philosophy at Oxford, and what I most wanted to do was strengthen public intellectual culture - I'd write books and essays to help us figure out who we wanted to be.
我获得了马歇尔奖学金，在牛津大学攻读哲学，我最想做的是加强公共知识文化——我要写书和论文，帮助我们弄清自己想成为什么样的人。
