我将就冬天户外开花植物的话题进行讨论，作为对询问者的回答。
In response to many requests, I pursue the subject of plants that will flower out of doors during the winter months.
应当只有在询问者知道所询问的问题时，这个应答才有意义。
The answer is only meaningful because the questioner knows the question that was asked.
但当询问者得知涉及的内容时，他们中的多数都回避了。
But when the inquirers learned what was involved, most of them shied away.
出于礼貌，你应该给询问者一个精简的回答告诉他们你在做什么，而不是茫茫然喃喃道，“我包罗万象（注释1）。”
Politeness dictates that you should provide enquirers with a brief but accurate precis of what you do, not a thousand-yard stare and a murmured, "I contain multitudes".
“你早晚都祷告吗？”我的询问者继续说。
Do you say your prayers night and morning? Continued my interrogator.
《国民询问者》甚至宣称，我们天文学家已真正发现了其它星球上的文明。
The "National Enquirer" blazoned forth that we astronomers had really discovered another civilization.
