At the high school, I was taught how to speak German because the high school didn't have other languages to offer. But I always wanted to speak English.

到了高年级的时候，我必须学德语，因为学校不提供别的语言，而我总是想学习英语。

My high school studies from 1950 to 1957 were in classics, with Latin, Greek, German, and English languages, French literature and, during the last year, philosophy, on which I was especially keen.

从1950年到1957年中学期间，我上了很多古典文学课程，像用拉丁文、希腊文、德文、英文写的古典文学作品，此外还学习了法国文学，最后一年学的是哲学，一门我特别喜欢的学科。
