I hate to see prudence clinging to the green suckers of youth; 'tis like ivy round a sapling, and spoils the growth of the tree.

I hate to see prudence clinging to the green suckers of youth; 'tis like ivy round a sapling, and spoils the growth of the tree.

我不愿意看到普律当丝紧紧抓住青春的绿色吸盘;它像常春藤缠绕着幼树，破坏了树木的生长。
