4．姗姗来迟

Love’s like the measles¹ ——all the worse when it comes late in life

爱情犹如麻疹——来得晚，糟得很

——Douglas William Jerrold 杰罗尔德

It is never too late to fall in love

相爱不嫌晚

Love, with very young people ,is a hearless business .We drink at that age from thirst ,or to get drunk ;it is only later in life that we occupt ourselves with the individuality of our wine

对年轻人而言，恋爱是件残酷的事。年轻时，我们渴了就饮，甚至沉入醉乡。只是年长后我们才一心嗜好自家酒。

——Isak Dinesen 丹森
