2007年，闵福德采访了霍克斯，在视频末尾，有这么一句话
I remember he had a complete Tripitaka in his kitchen getting rather sort of…‘smoked’! And he also had a complete bonaben edition of the Histories.
闵福德做的一个讲座中，也出现类似的：
I’ll give you one example, urm, Arthur Waley possessed a complete edition of The Twenty-Four Histories, you know, the-the-the traditional Chinese dynastic histories, beginning with Sima Qian’s, you know, 史记, and going right up until the Ming. And he had a complete set of this what they call Bonabon (?) of the 二十四史, The Twenty-Four Histories.
a complete bonaben edition of the Histories.
Bonabon of the 二十四史, The Twenty-Four Histories.
