传记的

Hopefully, it will also refer readers back to Sir Wilfred's two great books, and to sentences as lovely as this: Memories of that first visit to the Marshes have never left me:(8) firelight on a half-turned face, the crying of geese, duck ★flighting[16] in to feed, a boy's voice singing somewhere in the dark, canoes moving in procession down a waterway, the setting sun seen crimson through the smoke of burning reed-beds, narrow waterways that wound still deeper into the Marshes.

但愿这本传记也能让读者重新想起威福瑞那两本伟大著作，想起这些动人的语句：&沼泽地的第一次旅行始终萦怀：映照在侧头而望的脸上的火光，群鹅的鸣叫，结对飞入觅食的鸭子，黑暗某处男孩的歌声，顺水而行的独木舟，透过芦苇垫燃烧发出的浓烟看到那绯红的落日，狭窄的河道蜿蜒而入沼泽深处。&★★★NOTES 注释★★★ [1]Wilfred Thesiger：威福瑞塞西格，毕业于牛津大学，既是一名冒险家，也是一名出色的军人。

But we don't care about Battlegrounds.

但我们并不在乎沙场中的显露。

Ah! don't mention it, the butcher's shop is a horror.

啊！不用提了。提到肉，真是糟透了。
