Landon had made an unsuccessful attempt at the recitation, and the doctor, somewhat nettled, said: Landon, you don't seem to be getting on very fast in this subject. You seem to lack ambition. Why, at your age Alexander the Great had conquered half the world.
蘭登作了一次不成功的朗誦。老師有點(diǎn)不悅,對(duì)他說道: 蘭登,你在這門課上好像進(jìn)步不大,你好像缺乏志向。亞歷山大大帝在你這個(gè)年齡可已經(jīng)征服了半個(gè)世界。
Yes, said Landon, he couldn't help it, for you will recall the fact, doctor, that Alexander the Great had Aristotle for a teacher.
是啊,蘭登說,他沒法不那樣。博士先生,您回想一下史實(shí),亞歷山大大帝有亞里士多德做他的老師。
