Each had his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by heart; and his friends could only read the title.

Each had his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by heart; and his friends could only read the title.

每个人都把自己的过去封闭起来，就像熟记于心的书页;他的朋友们只能看到书名。

-- Virginia Woolf 弗吉尼亚伍尔夫
