Pride and Poverty
A young man, who appeared to enjoy robust health, was begging in the streets of Madrid. He applied to a gentleman, who, on looking at him, could not help saying to him, "Are you not ashamed, strong and healthy as you are, to beg instead of working."
"Sir,"replied the beggar, with Castilian pride, "I asked you for money, not for advice.
高傲與貧窮
在馬德里街頭,一個看來體魄壯健的年輕人正在向一位紳士乞討.紳士看著他忍不住說:"像你這樣強壯而又健康的人不去工作卻在乞討,難道不覺得害羞嗎?"
乞丐以純粹西班牙人的高傲態(tài)度答道:"先生,我在向你討錢,而不是在向你討教."
