第一个激励我从事这一职业的建筑师是约翰·索恩爵士和他的摄政时期的住宅。好吧,他的三个家,现在是一个博物馆。这个地方就像一本包含绘画、古物、家具、雕塑和图画的百科全书。
(The architect who first inspired me to follow this profession was Sir John Soane and his Regency home; well, his three homes, now a museum. The place is like an encyclopedia of paintings, antiquities, furniture, sculptures, and drawings.)
