原文
"Wait till next year," comforted Priscilla. "Then we'll be able to look
as bored and sophisticated as any Sophomore of them all. No doubt it is
rather dreadful to feel insignificant; but I think it's better than
to feel as big and awkward as I did--as if I were sprawled all over
Redmond. That's how I felt--I suppose because I was a good two inches
taller than any one else in the crowd. I wasn't afraid a Soph might walk
over me; I was afraid they'd take me for an elephant, or an overgrown
sample of a potato-fed Islander."
