But I came from a modest immigrant family where my idea of luxury was having a pork tongue and jelly sandwich so the thought of spending my whole life sitting around in armchairs just thinking, well, that struck me as the height of extravagance and frivolity.
可我出生自一个朴实简素的移民家庭， 我对奢侈的概念， 就是能在上学的午餐盒里 找到一块猪舌和一份果冻三明治。 所以这种一辈子 仅坐在椅子上思考的想法， 其实，对我来说只是一种奢侈和轻浮的假象罢了。
