改编自航行了弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫(1915)。
“[…瑞秋和19世纪后半叶大多数富裕女孩一样受教育。好心的医生和温文尔雅的老教授已经教给了她大约十种不同学科的入门知识,但他们既不会说她的手很脏,也不会强迫她彻底完成一项苦差事。每周有一两个小时过得很愉快,这一部分是因为其他学生,一部分是因为橱窗里是店铺的背面,冬天,店铺的红窗映衬着一些人影,还有一部分是因为两个人以上同时呆在一个房间里,必然会发生一些意外。但是世界上没有一件事是她知道得准确的。她的思想就像伊丽莎白女王统治初期一个聪明人的思想一样;她几乎会相信别人告诉她的一切,为她所说的一切编造理由。地球的形状,世界的历史,火车是怎样运行的,金钱是怎样投资的,现行的法律是什么,人们需要什么,为什么需要,现代生活中一种制度的最基本的观念——这些都不是她的任何一位教授或情妇传授给她的。但是这种教育体系有一个很大的优势。它什么也教不了,但它并没有妨碍学生发挥真正的才能。 Rachel, being musical, was allowed to learn nothing but music; she became a fanatic about music. All the energies that might have gone into languages, science, or literature, that might have made her friends, or shown her the world, poured straight into music. Finding her teachers inadequate, she had practically taught herself. At the age of twenty-four she knew as much about music as most people do when they are thirty; and could play as well as nature allowed her to, which, as became daily more obvious, was a really generous allowance. If this one definite gift was surrounded by dreams and ideas of the most extravagant and foolish description, no one was any the wiser."
根据文章的说法,瑞秋的教官不太可能这么做________________.
