But Milton's calling -- this is what John Milton knew his calling was to be a famous English poet, a famous English poet writing in English: a calling that he holds despite the fact that he appears to have written next to nothing in English verse.

但弥尔顿知道上帝对他的召唤,是成为一个有名的英语诗人，一个用英语写作的英语诗人：,他必须服从这个召唤,尽管他看上去不会写任何英语诗歌。
