It was a collection of essays of about the same length as those in Lytton Strachey's Eminent Victorians, upon a number of famous persons.

这是一本散文集， 篇幅与莱顿·斯特拉奇 (Lytton Strachey) 的《维多利亚时代杰出人物》(Eminent Victorians) 中的篇幅差不多， 都是关于一些名人的。

My books were meagre and commonplace, Roger Fry's Vision and Design, the Medici Press edition of A Shropshire Lad, Eminent Victorians, some volumes of Georgian poetry, Sinister Street and South Wind, and my earliest friends fitted well into this background.

我的书很少而且很普通，罗杰·弗莱 (Roger Fry) 的《愿景与设计》(Vision and Design)、美第奇出版社 (Medici Press) 版的什罗普郡少年 (A Shropshire Lad)、著名的维多利亚时代人物 (Eminent Victorians)、格鲁吉亚诗集、险恶街道 (Sinister Street) 和南风 (South Wind) 以及我最早的朋友都非常适合这种背景。
