| 149 | Thinking about her own limited knowledge of rural parts of Nigeria that she had never visited | 想想她自己对尼日利亚农村地区 的有限了解,她从来没有去过 |
| 150 | Adichie came to realize that her roommates assumptions were due to her limited exposure to more accurate stories about Africa | Adichie逐渐意识到 她室友的假设 是因为她很少接触 更准确的非洲故事 |
