You reduce both Western Civ and alternative canons to the same deracinated, rootless sort of nature as cultural capital.

你给予了西方文明和选择性的经典，文化资本一样，孤立漂泊的本质。

The more books you get, the fewer you can read, and the more gets dropped out of any curriculum, including the Western Civ curriculum.

你的书越多，你所能读的就越少，漏出课程之外的就越多，包括西方文明的课程。

I have a certain status and negotiability in the world as having read this. "in the case of Western Civ, it's quotations from the poets and after-dinner speeches."

我在世界上有一定的地位和可磋商性，因为我读过这个“，对于西方文明来说，它是诗人的引用语，是饭后的谈资。”
