To me, study had become a passion, which might even be fatal to my health by imprisoning me at a period of life when young men ought to yield to the bewitching activities of their springtide youth.

对我来说，学习已经成为一种激情，它甚至可能对我的健康造成致命的伤害，因为它把我禁锢在一个年轻人应该屈服于他们青春期的迷人活动的时期。

Well do I remember the rambles of that springtide. I had a lodging in one of those outer streets of Exeter which savour more of country than of town, and every morning I set forth to make discoveries.

我还记得那个春天的漫游。我在埃克塞特 (Exeter) 的一条外围街道中找到了一处住所，那里的乡村气息多于城镇气息，每天早晨，我都会出发去探索。
