The Memoirs of Jacques Casanova de Seingalt, 1725-1798. Volume 17: Return to Italy

I have never liked eating by myself, and thus I have never turned hermit, though I once thought of turning monk; but a monk without renouncing all the pleasures of life lives well in a kind of holy idleness.

我不喜欢独自用餐，因此我从未成为隐士，尽管我曾经考虑过成为僧侣；但一个不放弃生活中所有乐趣的僧侣，也能在一种圣洁的闲适中过得很好。

The thought of Veronique troubled me, as I knew I was taken with her, and what I had to dread was a calculated resistance.

想到维罗妮克让我感到困扰，因为我知道我已经对她动心了，我所担心的是她有意的抵抗。
