V. paragraph translation (20%)
If the period between twenty and thirty is the critical one in the formation of intellectual and professional habits, the period below twenty is more important still for the fixing of personal habits, properly so called, such as vocalization and pronunciation, gesture, motion, and address. Hardly ever is a language learned after twenty spoken without a foreign accent. Hardly, ever, indeed, can he even learn to dress like a gentleman-born. Hardly ever, indeed, no matter how much money there be in his pocket, can he eve n learn to dress like a gentleman-born.0 ~. R; X/ ?( w$ o
如果说二十到三十岁是形成智力和职业习惯的关键时期，那么二十岁以下的时期对于个人习惯的养成则更为重要，所谓的个人习惯，如发音、手势、动作和称呼。很少有一门语言是在二十岁以后学会的，没有外国口音。说实在的，他甚至很难学会穿得像个天生的绅士。事实上，不管他的口袋里有多少钱，他几乎永远学不会穿得像个绅士。 |
