I would try to find out， so， if this was a person of true understanding. but whoever it was ,he, or she, would always say “that is a hat.” then i would never talk to that person about bo constrictors or primeval forests, or stars. i would bring myself down to his level.i would talk to him about bridge ,and golf ,and politics ,and neckties. and the grown- up would be grealy pleased to have met such a sensible man. 我想知道他是否真的有理解能力. 可是得到的回答总是:“这是顶帽子。” 我就不和他谈巨蟒呀，原始森林呀，或者星星之类的事。 我只得迁就他们的水平，和他们谈些桥牌呀，高尔夫球呀，政治呀，领带呀这些。于是大人们就十分高兴能认识我这样一个通情达理的人。
