有生以来

我的大部分课是在沃尔希大楼上，大楼正对面的第36街上有一家威斯米勒熟食店。我每天早晨在那里花上25美分就可以喝一杯咖啡，吃两个甜面包圈。那是我有生以来第一次喝咖啡。喝咖啡的习惯现在我也时不时地要克服一下，但成绩有限。

E.g. This is the profoundest lesson I ever had.

这是设在学校和教堂的投票站前排起的前所未见的长队给出的答案；是等了三四个小时的选民所给出的答案，其中许多人都是有生以来第一次投票，因为他们认定这一次肯定会不一样，认为自己的声音会是这次大选有别于以往之所在。

"Proclus",,This, therefore, is mathematics: she reminds you of the invisible form of the soul; she gives life to her own discoveries; she awakens the mind and purifies the intellect; she brings light to our intrinsic ideas; she abolishes oblivion and ignorance which are ours by birth.

&，&所以说数学就是这样一种东西：她提醒你有无形的灵魂，她赋予她所发现的真理以生命；她唤起心神，澄净智慧；她给我们的内心思想添辉；她涤尽我们有生以来的蒙昧与无知。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.
