8.☀ The world was to me a secret /which I desired to reveal. Curiosity, earnest research to learn the hidden laws of nature, and gladness close to joy, / are among the earliest feelings /I can remember.
👉前句句法和之前讲解过的较为类似， 「which…reveal」部分一起修饰前面的「secret」，意为“我想要解开的迷”；后句的「curiosity…to joy」全部都是句子的主语，而句末的「I can remember」修饰前面的「feelings」，意为“我能记住的感觉”。
👉此段透露出叙述者（陌生人）和Walton其实是同一类人，具有探索世界的雄心，渴望探索世界的奥秘，也许正因为此他才决定向Walton袒露他背负的秘密的吧~
👉整句大意：世界一直对我来说一直是个想要解开的谜。巨大的好奇心，试图揭开自然界所隐藏着的法则的狂热，以及揭开谜团后的欣喜若狂，这种儿时最早的情感波澜，我至今都能记得。

3. ☀「mix」在文中表示：to be with or communicate well with other people 交往，交际，常用意思是“混合”。
   原句：When I mixed with other families I saw clearly how very fortunate my situation was…
   例句：She mixes very well - perhaps that's why she's so popular.

When I mixed with other families I saw clearly how very fortunate my situation was, and gratitude assisted the development of filial(孝顺的) love.
