On the Sublime

I may be allowed to express a hope that the present attempt may contribute something to reawaken an interest in an unjustly neglected classic.

请允许我表达一个愿望：此次尝试或许能有助于重新唤起人们对一个被不公正忽视的经典的兴趣。

no one who has not made the attempt can realise the difficulty of giving anything like an Adequate version of the more elaborate passages.

没有亲身体验过的人，无法体会将那些精心雕琢的段落翻译到位有多困难。
