喜樂美語

Picture the part of a person that works on hard ideas — the part that reads a difficult page twice, follows an argument, holds two thoughts side by side. intellectual points at that thinking side of life, and then at the people and things that live mostly on it.

可以想成一個人身上專門處理困難想法的那一塊：會把讀不懂的段落再看一次、跟得上一串推論、能把兩個念頭並排比較的那一塊。intellectual 先是指著生活中「動腦」的這一面，接著也指那些主要靠這一面過日子的人和事。
