四月间，天气寒冷晴朗，钟敲了十三下。
It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.

弗拉基米尔•纳博科夫《洛丽塔》

洛丽塔，我的生命之光，我的欲念之火。我的罪恶，我的剥去，洛-丽-塔：舌尖向上，分三步，从上颚往下轻轻落在牙齿上。洛。丽。塔。
Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-Lee-Ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate of tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta.

在我年轻、幼稚的时候，父亲曾给了我一番教诲，我一直铭记在心：“每当你想要批评别人的时候，”他对我说，“你就记住在这世界上不是人人都享有过你所拥有的优越条件。"
In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.“Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”

J•D•赛林格《麦田守望者》

你要是真想听我讲，你想要知道的第一件事可能是我在什么地方出生，我倒霉的童年是怎样度过的，我父母在生我之前干些什么，以及诸如此类的大卫•科波菲尔式废话，可我老实告诉你，我无意告诉你这一切。
If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.
