If you're not taking notes in this lecture, you have to write down at least one sentence. You must write this down because this will be the most important thing I say all morning: Milton's Paradise Lost is the first narrative poem in English that didn't rhyme.

就算你们这堂课不记笔记，也一定要记下至少一句话，一定要把这记下来,这是我一早上说的最重要的一句话了：,弥尔顿的《失乐园》是,第一首不押韵的英语叙事诗。
