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事情就是寫小說。然而，我的父母都來自貧窮的背景，但他們都沒有上過大學，他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，或者獲得退休金。我知道現在用卡通鐵砧的力量來諷刺。他們希望我能拿到職業學位，但我想學習英語文學。達成了一個妥協，回想起來沒有人滿意，於是我開始學習現代語言。我父母的汽車幾乎沒有在路的盡頭拐彎，而是扔掉了德語，沿著古典走廊走下去。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當天首次發現。在這個星球上的所有科目中，我認為他們很難說出一個比希臘神話更有用的名稱，因為它確保了行政浴室的鑰匙。http://foolsdock.blogspot.tw/2008/06/jkrowling-2008.html?m=1本文取自JK Rowling給哈佛畢業生的致辭。～因Google翻譯不通暢，請大家包涵，所以參考網路上其他人翻譯。
