每日好句分享/六级备考/不过600不断更（1）

I HAVE always felt close to people older than myself，looked down a little bit on people more or less my own age，and felt both esteem and terror when confronted with little children，from whom I deliberately maintain a respectful distance. This is not because I “fear being eclipsed by young generations” as the old saying goes. I imagine that，once they grow up，most of them will be quite ordinary and no better，in all likelihood，than my own generation. ——张爱玲
