first edition

基本解释

I'd no more scribble all over a first edition of "Paradise Lost" than I'd give my baby a set of crayons and an original Rembrandt!
我绝不会在一本初版的《失乐园》上乱涂乱写，就像我不会把一幅伦勃朗的原作连同一盒蜡笔交给我的孩子任意涂抹一样！
These prose pieces were published later under the name of Vividha Prabandha, Various Topics, but they expired with the first edition and did not get a fresh lease of life in a second.
后来，我在《杂题》的书名下把这些散文发表了，但是它们和初版一同夭折，在再版中也没有得到新的生命。
The second edition of this book bulks up over the first edition, and not in very useful ways in my opinion.
这本书的第二版要比第一版厚了很多，其中添加了很多我认为有用处的内容。

Last year I listed them, and there were not that many people that had the First Edition of the text.
去年我把它们列上去的，没有那么多人,有这本书的第一版。
