"Not well," I admitted. "My mother plays a lot of classical music around the house — I only know my favorites." “不算很了解。”我承认道。“我妈妈在家里放过不少古典音乐的曲子。——但我只知道我最喜欢的几首。”
"It's one of my favorites, too." He stared out through the rain, lost in thought. “这也是我最喜欢的曲目之一。”他盯着车外的雨幕,陷入了沉思。

I began to realize we were driving very fast; the car moved so steadily 6, so evenly, though, I didn't feel the speed. 我开始意识我们开得很快。但这车跑得太平稳了,太流畅了,以至于我根本没有注意到车速。

"What is your mother like?" he asked me suddenly. “你母亲是什么样的人?”他忽然问我。
I glanced over to see him studying me with curious eyes. 我看了他一眼,只见他正用好奇的眼神研究着我。
