马松的Napoleon at home:the daily life of the emperor at the Tuileries里关于拿破仑眼镜的一段描写:
The pocket eyeglasses, which were supplied by Lerebours, the celebrated optician of the Place du Pont-neuf, measured 18 to 21 lines,cost from 180 to 220 francs, and were usually of silver gilt. Although Napoleon was infinitely less short-sighted than his brothers Lucien and Jerome, he still had short sight, and had the constant habit, not only on campaign, but at Paris, of using an eyeglass or a binocular. 不过不明白measured 18 to 21 lines是什么意思。 |
