1. It seemed to me as though no one would ever quote Horace again, as anything but a lie. Of course, that's not the case. 在我看来，似乎谁也不会再引用贺拉斯的话了，除非是在撒谎。当然，事实并非如此。
2. My mother insisted on naming me Horace. 我母亲执意给我取名叫霍勒斯。
3. "Had the Greeks held novelty in such disdain as we," asked Horace in his epistle, "what work of ancient date would now exist?" 霍勒斯在他的书信中问道：“如果希腊人也像我们这样鄙视新奇事物，那么古代的作品现在还会存在吗？”
4. The word "serendipity" was coined by Horace Walpole in an 1854 letter, from a tale of three princes who "were always making discoveries, by accident, of things they were not in search of". “Serendipity”这个词，是在1854年由霍勒斯·沃波尔在一封信中创造的，这个词源于一个关于三个王子的故事，他们“总是意外地发现那些他们无意寻找的东西”。
