But every time I thought I was beginning to get a handle on the Koran -- that feeling of "I get it now" -- it would slip away overnight, and I'd come back in the morning wondering if I wasn't lost in a strange land, and yet the terrain was very familiar.
但每次我以为我开始 要对可兰经开窍的时候 -- 那个“我终于明白了”的感觉 -- 在一夜之间又会悄然而逝。 第二天早晨醒来， 我会纳闷我是否曾在一个陌生的领地迷了路。 而那个地带却又很熟悉。
