八岁那年，我坐在父亲的书房里，在那台人工打字机上敲出了自己的第一部“小说”。

I sat in my dad’s study and plunked out my first “novel” on a manual typewriter when I was eight.

第一部分，前八行,弥尔顿描述了基督降生的景象,还有这个新生婴儿对现实世界的影响。

First, in the first eight stanzas you have Milton describing the scene of the Nativity and the effect that the birth of this new infant has on the natural world.
