臺灣籍旅美老師今天交給我們的句子是:
Because all I had read were books in which characters were foreign, I had become convinced that books by their very nature had to have foreigners in them and had to be about things with which I could not personally identify.
因為以前我讀過的所有書里面的角色全都是外國人,所以我那時一直都認為,書中的角色本來就應該要有外國人,而且書的內容也必須要是關于我無法親身體會到的事物。
