‘Nihil quod tetigit non ornavit.’ His mind resembled a fertile, but thin soil. ..... for chymical experiments, of which Johnson was all his life very fond. ...The Life of Samuel Johnson LL.D., by James Boswell (chapter21)
這Johnson 給 Goldsmith 在西敏逝寺的墓志銘;epitaph :nihil tetigit quod non ornavit 三本中文翻譯都略去
有意思的是我們可以找到Nihil tetigit quod non ornavit 的一些英文翻譯：
He touched nothing that he didn’t adorn..
He adorned whatever he touched..
He touched nothing without embellishing it.
