L:是的。他还和伽利略伽利雷有过一次长时间富有意义的谈话。他们的对话被记 录在弥尔顿著名的呼吁自由演讲和讨论的《论自由》一书中。

M:And I remember that there are references to Galileo’s telescope in Paradise Lost.

M:我还记得弥尔顿在《失乐园》中也谈到了伽利略的望远镜。

L:The intense work of translating and writing created much strain on his eyes and by 1652 he was entirely blind and relied on the assistance of other people,

L:翻译和写作的高强度工作使他的眼睛不堪重负，到了 1652年，他已经完全失明了， 要依赖别人的帮助才能工作。

M: But it seems that Milton was not unduly grieved by his loss of sight. Instead, blindness helped him to stimulate his verbal richness.

M:但是弥尔顿对于自己的失明似乎并不怎么伤心。相反，失明有肋于刺激他语言的 表达。

L:弥尔顿虽然失明了，但是他想起了他最初的梦想，那就是成为一名诗人。在伦敦 大疮疫期间，他离开伦敦，住在了白金汉郡查尔芬特圣贾尔斯村子的一个小屋里。
