两个月来的辛苦旅程、遭遇的挫折、充满陷阱的前路以及被逐出南京的失望终于击垮了利玛窦原本强壮的身体。他非常疲惫,发着低烧且伴有炎症,没有一个朋友可以让他依靠。他在家里休息了大约一个月,调理身体,这期间他一边学习一边制作地球仪、天球仪。他还测出了南昌的地理位置是北纬29度,并根据这一数据制作了新的日晷。 The hard journey of the past two months, the setbacks encountered, the pitfalls of being trapped and the disappointment of being expelled from Nanjing finally defeated the already strong body of Matteo Ricci. He was very tired, had a fever and had inflammation, and none of his friends could make him rely on it. He rested for about a month at home, conditioning his body, during which time he was learning to make the globe, the globe. He also measured that Nanchang’s location was 29 degrees north latitude and produced a new sundial based on this data.
