Now this was nineteen-eighty-two, quite a long time ago, at a time when people really weren't paying much attention to calories like they are now, so you'd expect the errors to decline as time goes on and there's some evidence of that, but they're errors nonetheless.

Finally, Milton's poem is late by virtue of the simple fact that it's written in the form of an epic. An epic might have seemed like a great idea when Milton was nineteen, but by the time Milton gets actually around to writing it, it's an entirely superannuated, utterly outdated form.

最后，弥尔顿这么晚才写这首诗是因为,这是一首史诗，在弥尔顿19岁的时候,写首史诗看起来可能是个好主意，但到了弥尔顿真正要写的时候，史诗已经是一种完全落伍过时的诗体了。
