Strange that his first aspiration-towards academical proficiency-had been checked by a woman, and that his second aspiration-towards apostleship-had also been checked by a woman.

奇怪是，他个愿望——对学术能力追求——被个女人检验，而他二个愿望——对使徒身份追求——也被个女人检验。

So it may be fairly stated that Miss Stacy's old pupils held their own in the wider arena of the academical course.

因此，可以公平地说，斯泰西小姐老学生在更广泛学术课程领域保持着自己地位。
