Milton, like so many of his contemporaries, kept a commonplace book and, as you can imagine, he kept it for the most part in Latin.

和许多同代的人一样，弥尔顿，写一本普通的书，正如你所想象的，他所写那本书大部分是拉丁文。

Actually we have Milton's commonplace book, his reading notes, and you can find it all in English translation in volume one of The Complete Prose Works of John Milton.

事实上我们有弥尔顿的那本普通的书，他的阅读笔记，你们可以找到完全的英译本，在弥尔顿全部散文作品的第一卷。

I think there's a connection here between the image from the commonplace book and the treatment in Milton's mask of this strangely conjoint phenomenon of virginity and speechlessness.

我认为，笔记书中的形象，和弥尔顿《面具》中有关童贞和无语这一共同现象，是有联系的。
