One winter's morning in 1991 I loaded a guitar, a condensed edition of the Oxford English Dictionary and a Teach Yourself Russian(TYR) course into an old Volkswagen, left the house near Edinburgh where I had been staying and drove to Kiev. 1991年冬天的一个早上,我把一把吉他、一本精炼版牛津英语字典和一本俄语自课本装进我的老大众汽车,离开爱丁堡的家,驶往基辅。
