Becoming Educated成为有教养的人So I was in Boston University in this new and strange and different world,and it occurred to me that if I was going to succeed at this strange new adventure, I would have to read. I felt that, in order to compensate for what I had missed in earlier years,I would have to work harder, and study longer, than anybody else.就这样，我来到了波士顿大学，置身于一个全新的、陌生的、不一样的世界。我突然意识到，想要在这次新奇的探险中取得成功，我就必须比法学院的其他同学花更多的时间来读书，而且要读的更透彻才行。我觉得，为了弥补我在早些年错过的东西，我必须比其他人更努力，花更多时间学习。I still had this feeling that I did not want my colleagues to know what a tough time I was having understanding the concepts, the words, the ideas, the process. I did not want them to know that. So I did my reading not in the law library, but in a library at the graduate dorm, upstairs where it was very quiet, because apparently nobody else there studied.我仍旧有一种情绪，不想让同学知道我在理解概念、词汇、理念、程序时经历了多么艰难的时光。我不想让他们知道那些。所以我不在法学图书馆阅读，而是在一个毕业生宿舍楼上的图书馆，那里十分安静，显然是因为没有其他人在那里学习。So I would go there at night after dinner. I would load my books under my arm and go to the library, and I would read until the wee hours of the morning and then go to bed.I did not get much sleep during those years. I was lucky if I got three or four hours a night, because I had to stay up. I had to. The professors would assign cases for the next day, and these cases had to be read and understood or I would be behind, further behind than I was.所以，我会在晚上吃过饭后去那里。我双手抱着书本去图书馆，一直读书到凌晨才回去睡觉。在那些年中，我总是睡得很少。如果我一晚可以睡三到四个小时，就很幸运了，因为我不得不熬夜。教授总是提前分配第二天的案例，这些案例必须要阅读完后才能理解，否则我就会跟不上了。我已经落后于他人，如果不做这些事，我就会落后更多。I was always delighted when I would get called upon to recite in class. But the professors did not call on the ladies very much. There were certain favored people who always got called on, and then on some rare occasions a professor would come in and would announce:We are going yo have Ladies Day today. And he would call on the ladies.We were just tolerated.We were not considered really top drawer when it came to the study of the law. 当我被教授要求在课堂上背诵时，我总是很乐意的。可
