本地的老乡们已经认识我,喜欢我,特别是那班孩子们。起初,我去接近他们,友好地向他们问这问那,他们中有几个还当我是拿他们开心,便想粗暴地打发走我。我并不气恼;相反只对一个我已多次发现的情况,有了切身的体会:就是某些稍有地位的人,总对老百姓采取冷淡疏远的态度,似乎一接近就会失去什么来着;同时又有一些轻薄仔和捣蛋鬼,跑来装出一副纡尊降贵的模样,骨子里却想叫穷百姓更好地尝尝他们那傲慢的滋味。

The common people of the place know me already, and love me, particularly the children. When at first I associated with them, and inquired in a friendly tone about their various trifles, some fancied that I wished to ridicule them, and turned from me in exceeding ill-humour. I did not allow that circumstance to grieve me: I only felt most keenly what I have often before observed. Persons who can claim a certain rank keep themselves coldly aloof from the common people, as though they feared to lose their importance by the contact; whilst wanton idlers, and such as are prone to bad joking, affect to descend to their level, only to make the poor people feel their impertinence all the more keenly.

我清楚地知道,我与他们不是一样的人,也不可能是一样的人;但是,我认为谁如果觉得自己有必要疏远所谓下等人以保持尊严,那他就跟一个因为怕失败而躲避敌人的懦夫一样可耻。

I know very well that we are not all equal, nor can be so; but it is my opinion that he who avoids the common people, in order not to lose their respect, is as much to blame as a coward who hides himself from his enemy because he fears defeat.

最近我去井边,碰到一个年轻使女,见她把自己的水瓮搁在最低的一级台阶上,正在那儿东瞅瞅,西望望,等着同伴来帮助她把水瓮顶到头上去。我走下台阶,望着她。

The other day I went to the fountain, and found a young servant-girl, who had set her pitcher on the lowest step, and looked around to see if one of her companions was approaching to place it on her head. I ran down, and looked at her.

“要我帮助你吗,姑娘?”我问。

“Shall I help you, pretty lass?” said I.

她顿时满脸通红。“噢不,先生!”她道。

She blushed deeply. “Oh, sir!” she exclaimed.

“别客气!”

“No ceremony!” I replied.

她放正头上的垫环,我便帮她顶好水瓮。她道过谢,登上台阶走了。

She adjusted her head-gear, and I helped her. She thanked me, and ascended the steps.
