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人应屈服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，那里的乡村气息多城镇气息，每天早晨，我都会出发去探索。
