少年维特的烦恼 英文版 The Sorrows of Young Werther
歌德 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
November 26.
I begin to find my situation here more tolerable, considering allcircumstances. I find a great advantage in being much occupied;and the number of persons I meet, and their different pursuits,create a varied entertainment for me. I have formed the acquaintanceof the Count C-- and I esteem him more and more every day. He isa man of strong understanding and great discernment; but, thoughhe sees farther than other people, he is not on that account coldin his manner, but capable of inspiring and returning the warmestaffection. He appeared interested in me on one occasion, when Ihad to transact some business with him. He perceived, at the firstword, that we understood each other, and that he could conversewith me in a different tone from what he used with others. Icannot sufficiently esteem his frank and open kindness to me. Itis the greatest and most genuine of pleasures to observe a greatmind in sympathy with our own.
