美国朋友

　　Francis Ashby, a senior Oxford don on holiday alone in the Alps, meets holidaying American Caroline and her companion Elinor, the blossoming Irish-American girl she adopted many years before. Ashby finds he enjoys their company, particularly that of Elinor, and both the women are drawn to him. Back at Oxford he is nevertheless taken aback when they arrive unannounced. Women are not allowed in the College grounds, let alone the rooms. Indeed any liaison, however innocent, is frowned on by the upstanding Fellows 　　译文(2): 独自在阿尔卑斯山度假的牛津大学高级教师弗朗西斯 · 阿什比(Francis Ashby)在度假时遇到了美国女孩卡罗琳(Caroline)和她的伴侣埃莉诺(Elinor)。埃莉诺是她多年前收养的一个花季少女，是爱尔兰裔美国人。阿什比发现他喜欢他们的陪伴，尤其是埃莉诺的陪伴，两个女人都被他吸引。回到牛津，当他们不请自来时，他还是吃了一惊。女性不允许进入学院场地，更不用说房间了。事实上，任何联络，无论多么无辜，都是不被正直的研究员所接受的
