Was carelessly listening to a man of fifty or fifty - two years of age , with gray hair , aristocratic bearing , and exceedingly gentlemanly attire , and meanwhile making a marginal note in a volume of gryphius s rather inaccurate , but much sought - after , edition of horace - a work which was much indebted to the sagacious observations of the philosophical monarch 此刻，他正在漫不经心地听一个约五十多岁，头发灰白，一副贵族仪表，风度极为高雅的人在讲话，他的手边放着一本格里夫斯版的贺拉斯公元前，古罗马人。他正在上面作注释，国王那种聪慧博学的见解大多是从这本书上得来的。
