No one but Steve Jones could have written this book. That deep, resonant voice echoes from every page, not only with characteristic insights but also with phrases to make them memorable, such as "the habits of mites would astonish any pornographer"; or "the expression of a Scotsman with a grievance is easy to distinguish from a ray of sunshine" (Jones is presumably Welsh); and, most memorably, "fatness runs in families but so do frying pans".

　　Where there is great love, there are always miracles.
　　哪里有真爱存在，哪里就有奇迹。
　　Love is like a butterfly. It goes where it pleases and it pleases where it goes.
　　爱情就像一只蝴蝶，它喜欢飞到哪里，就把欢乐带到哪里。
　　If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden.
　　假如每次想起你我都会得到一朵鲜花，那么我将永远在花丛中徜徉。
　　Within you I lose myself, without you I find myself wanting to be lost a

有些单词正看、反看都有意思，越看越有意思，越有意思越想看。因为英语单词只能横向变化，没有上下结构，故叫妙趣“横”生。如：

bin（贮藏器）----- nib（笔尖）；
but ------ tub（盆）；
deer(鹿)---
