Having made , at least , this one hit , whatever it might prove to be worth , and no customers coming in to help him to any other , mr . barsad paid for what he had drunk , and took his leave : taking occasion to say , in a genteel manner , before he departed , that he looked forward to the pleasure of seeing monsieur and madame defarge again 巴薩先生這一槍至少已經刺了個正著,雖然它有什么價值還不清楚。此時又再無客人進來給他再顯身手的機會,他便付了酒錢,走掉了。臨行前他又利用機會溫文爾雅地表示希望有機會跟德伐日夫婦再會。

Again i reflected : i scarcely knew what school was : bessie sometimes spoke of it as a place where young ladies sat in the stocks , wore backboards , and were expected to be exceedingly genteel and precise : john reed hated his school , and abused his master ; but john reed s tastes were no rule for mine , and if bessie s accounts of school - discipline gathered from the young ladies of a family where she had lived before coming to gateshead were somewhat appalling , her details of certain accomplishments attained by these same young ladies were , i thought , equally attractive 不過他的感受不足為憑。如果貝茜關于校紀的說法她來蓋茨黑德之前,從她主人家一些年輕小姐那兒收集來的有些駭人聽聞,那么她細說的關于那些小姐所學得的才藝,我想也同樣令人神往。她繪聲繪色地談起了她們制作的風景畫和花卉畫談起了她們能唱的歌,能彈的曲,能編織的錢包,能翻譯的法文書,一直談得我聽著聽著就為之心動,躍躍欲試。

In a world culturally divided between the genteel and everything else , americans opt for trash over art that is supposed to be good for them as much because they resent being told what they should like as because they like trash 就文化而言,在一個把除了高雅之外統統歸入不高雅的社會中,美國人對所謂具有教化作用的藝術毫無興趣,反而對文化垃圾趨之若鶩,不僅因為確實喜歡,也因為我們美國人極度反感被人指手畫腳,發號施令。
