立志要探索文学如何回应和影响经历的巴图曼小姐选择“沉浸”在这一惊人地暧昧的世界中，这有什么让人不解的吗？

Intent on exploring how literature echoes and influences experience, is it any wonder that Ms Batuman chose to "immerse" herself in this world of compelling ambiguity?

但巴图曼是在读大学时，想到Russian——俄语和俄国文学——是理解“人类行为和爱的本质之谜”最好的途径。

But it was at university that Ms Batuman came around to the idea that Russian - the language and the literature - was the best way to comprehend "the riddle of human behaviour and the nature of love".
