我曾经是维多利亚时代文学的研究生，我相信，就像维多利亚时代的小说家一样，小说不仅仅是私人表达的工具，而且它也存在社会审视。我坚信这一点。
(I was once a graduate student in Victorian literature, and I believe as the Victorian novelists did, that a novel isn't simply a vehicle for private expression, but that it also exists for social examination. I firmly believe this.)
