《马可·波罗游记》（我更喜欢 Manuel Komroff 翻译的 Modern Library 版本（虽然是 1931 年出版的，但源文本可追溯至 13-14 世纪））
The Travels of Marco Polo (I prefer the Modern Library edition translated by Manuel Komroff (it was published in 1931, but the source dates to the 13th-14th centuries))

IIRC the editor's notes, the custom did exist in some places of the Himalaya mountains. > The guest may stay and enjoy the wife's society as long as he lists, whilst the husband has no shame in the…
这听起来太糟糕了。我最近读了鲁斯蒂谦（Rustichello da Pisa）记录的名著《马可·波罗游记》，还记得当时认出了石棉后兴奋地把这一章念给我妻子听：人人都应当明白，没有任何动物生来能在火中生存，因为一切……
This sounds really bad. I recently read the famous The Travels of Marco Polo by Rustichello da Pisa and remember calling this chapter out for my wife in delight of recognizing asbestos: Everybody must be aware that it can be no animal's nature to live in fire, seeing that every…
