| 53 | the same one my parents, who are with us today, Malcolm and Jackie, gave as professors in Tennessee. | 和今天和我们在一起的我父母一样 马尔科姆和杰基 在田纳西州担任教授 |
| 54 | That gift is not a birthright belonging to the affluent or influential few. | 这种天赋不属于富人或有影响力的少数人的天赋权利。 |
| 55 | It is not a delicacy doled out merely in grand and Gothic halls. | 这不仅仅是在宏伟和哥特式的大厅里放出来的美味。 |
