【正确答案】The Gentleman' s place of birth is not known, nor is his name or surname. He is called such by the fact that five willow trees grow beside his house. He is a quiet man, being of little speech. He pursues no glory, nor material gain. He is fond of reading, but indulges not in hair-splitting. Each time he comes to understand something he is so happy that he forgets his meals. He likes wine; but being poor he cannot obtain it often. His relations and old acquaintances knowing this occasionally invite him to drink; and each time he goes, he is sure to finish all the wine, or become quite drunk; and having not got drunk he would retire, caring little to stay or to depart.
