Flouted

But to tell the truth,

但是老实说，

I was born on September 1st, 1976.

我出生在1976年9月1日。

On the subject of reading, Francis Bacon, who lived at about the same time as shakespeare, wrote these words, Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. This good advice shows how it is possible to read

“有些书是应当尝尝滋味的，有些书是应当吞食下去的，有少数书是应当咀嚼和消化的。”这个忠告很好，它表明可以用不同的方法来阅读不同类型的书。
