Last january , rid of all mistresses - in a harsh , bitter frame of mind , the result of a useless , roving , lonely life - corroded with disappointment , sourly disposed against all men , and especially against all womankind for i began to regard the notion of an intellectual , faithful , loving woman as a mere dream , recalled by business , i came back to england 去年一月，我打发走了所有的情妇一当时的心情既冷酷又苦恼，那是毫无意义飘忽不定的孤独生活的苦果我心灰意冷，便怒悻悻地反对一切男性，尤其是反对一切女性因为，我开始认为理智忠实可爱的女人不过是一种梦想，因为事务需要，我回到了英格兰。
