The Oxford I knew - shot through with sexual harassment, racism, dilettantism and sherry - has been replaced by something quite professional and money-conscious.

我所知道的那个牛津大学，充斥着性骚扰、种族主义、伪文艺和雪莉酒。 那个牛津已不见踪影，如今的牛津非常专业，并且开始关心金钱。

I can well understand that everyone will be profoundly impressed with the utter futility of this sort of dilettantism.

几乎每个人都会对这种看似徒劳的业馀性的艺术爱好印象深刻，对此我很能理解。
