It was his idea that there is such a thing as a first-hand opinion; an original opinion; an opinion which is coldly reasoned out in a man's head, by a searching analysis of the facts involved, with the heart unconsulted, and the jury room closed against outside influences. It may be that such an opinion has been born somewhere, at some time or other, but I suppose it got away before they could catch it and stuff it and put it in the museum.
他认为存在像第一手观点这样的东西，这是一种原始的观点，是一个通过对有关事实的透彻分析，冷静地、紧闭陪审团之门不受外界影响而推论出来的观点。也许这种观点已在某时某地产生了，但是我猜测，在人们能抓住它，并把它填制成标本放到博物馆之前，它就不见了。
I am persuaded that a coldly-thought-out and independent verdict upon a fashion in clothes, or manners, or literature, or politics, or religion, or any other matter that is projected into the field of our notice and interest, is a most rare thing—if it has indeed ever existed.
我相信，对于时装或礼仪、文学、政治、宗教，或者其他任何能够引起我们的注意和兴趣的领域，冷静思考出的独立见解即使有也很罕见。
