I no longer wondered that Mrs.Strickland felt a certain embarrassment about him; he was scarcely a credit to a woman who wanted to make herself a position in the world of art and letters.

我不再奇怪为什么思特里克兰德太太谈起他来总是有些不好意思了；对于一个想在文学艺术界取得一个位置的女人来说，他是很难给她增加光彩的。

It is so beautiful to meet so many kindred spirits from all over the world, to receive your outreach of words and art and letters, and to find people who value the act of dreaming together.

能遇到这么多来自世界各地的志趣相投的人，能接受你对文字、艺术和信件，能找到重视共同梦想的人，真是太美好了。
