問題詳情
請依下文回答第 44 題至第 47 題:I was convinced that the only thing I wanted to do, ever, was to write novels. However, my parents, both of whomcame from impoverished backgrounds and neither of whom had been to college, took the view that my overactiveimagination was an amusing personal quirk that would never pay a mortgage, or secure a pension. I know that the ironystrikes with the force of a cartoon anvil, now. They hoped that I would take a vocational degree, but I wanted to studyEnglish literature. A compromise was reached that in retrospect satisfied nobody, and I went up to study ModernLanguages. Hardly had my parents’ car rounded the corner at the end of the road than I ditched German and scuttledoff down the Classics corridor. I cannot remember telling my parents that I was studying Classics; they might well havefound out for the first time on graduation day. Of all the subjects on this planet, I think they would have been hard putto name one less useful than Greek mythology when it came to securing the keys to an executive bathroom.

我確信,我唯一想做的就是寫小說。然而,我的父母,他們兩個都來自貧窮的背景,而且都沒有上過大學,他們認為我過度活躍的想像力是一種有趣的個人怪癖,永遠不會支付抵押貸款或獲得養老金。我知道現在,諷刺的是用卡通鐵砧的力量打擊。他們希望我能獲得職業學位,但我想學習英語文學。達成妥協,回想起來沒有人滿意,我上去學習現代語言。幾乎沒有我父母的汽車在路盡頭的拐角處,而不是我拋棄了德國人並且沿著經典走廊蜿蜒而下。我不記得告訴我的父母我正在學習經典;他們很可能在畢業典禮那天第一次發現。在這個星球上的所有科目中,我認為在確保行政浴室的鑰匙安全時,他們很難說出比希臘神話中更有用的一個。
