1. 桃花源记——陶渊明
晋太元中，武陵人捕鱼为业。缘溪行，忘路之远近。忽逢桃花林，夹岸数百步，中
无杂树，芳草鲜美，落英缤纷。渔人甚异之。复前行，欲穷其林。
林尽水源，便得一山，山有小口，仿佛若有光。便舍船，从口入。初极狭，才通人；
复行数十步，豁然开朗。土地平旷，屋舍俨然，有良田美池桑竹之属。阡陌交通，鸡犬相闻。其中往来种作，男女衣著，悉如外人。黄发垂髫，并怡然自乐。
评述所给相应译文：
During the Tai-Y uan period of the Chin Dynasty, a fisherman from Wuling, forgetting
how far he had advanced in following a creek, suddenly came to a forest of peach
blossoms. For several hundred paces there was no other kind of trees on either bank of the creek. The delightful-smelling grass was beautiful and fresh, and the falling blossoms were scattered in confusion. The fisherman was seized with wonder. He went to on further, intending to go through the wood, but where the wood ended at the source of the creek he found a hill with a small opening somewhat lighted.
Then the fisherman left his boat and walked through the mouth of the opening. It was
rather narrow at first, barely enough for the passage of one person; but after a few more score steps it widens into an open track. A wide plain was brought into view, dotted with houses in distinct order and full of good fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry, and bamboo. It was checkered with highways and paths between the fields; cock-crow and dog-bark in one village were heard in another. The people plying to and fro and working on the farm were all, men and women, dressed like the outsiders. Both the grey-haired people and the children with hanging-hair tresses all appeared happy and well-contented.

“看过了。”晓燕低声说，“医生说是重感冒。恐怕是这两天太累了。她没日没夜地找人谈话、布置和反动学生的斗争，常常顾不上吃饭，身体当然受不了。”
侯瑞也摇摇头说：“她太累了。”
“你们该多照顾她一点呀！”徐辉看着道静昏睡的样子，不安地说。
这时道静醒来了。她睁眼看着身边的三个人笑笑说：“你们什么时候来的？我都不知道。徐辉，明天的行动确定了吧？不会有什么变化吧？”
“不会。”徐辉伏在道静的身边笑道，“不许你再操心，只许你安心休息。”她直起身来这才问站在旁边的侯瑞，“你估计明天北大可以有多少人参加？”

The Song of Youth
译文一
December 8, 1935 ——the eve of the tremendous, historical December Ninth
Movement1 This day Tao-ching was in bed with a high fever. She was sleeping in a
wooden bed in a newly rented room. At dusk, in this cold, dreary, small room, Hsu Hui, Hsiao-yen, and Hou Jui were huddling over a coal stove talking softly.
“When did she get sick?” Hsu Hui asked Hsiao-yen. “Did she see a doctor?”
“Y es,” Hsiao-yen whispered. “The doctor says she has influenza. Also she has been
working too hard. Day and night she held discussions, instigated struggles against reactionary students, and often skipped meals. No wonder her health has suffered as a consequence.”
“She simply overextended herself,” Hou Jui shook his head.
“Y ou people should have taken better care of her!” said Hsu Hui, as she looked uneasily
at the feverish girl, deep in slumber.
Tao-ching stirred. She opened her eyes and smiled at the three people near her bed.
“When did you get here?”she asked, then turned to Hsu Hui, “Has the plan for tomorrow been fixed? Will there be any changes?”
No, I don’t think so,”answered Hsu Hui, smiling. “But don’t worry about anything.
Y ou just take it easy.”And, stretching herself, she asked Hou Jui, “How many people from Peking University do you think will be at the demonstration?”
译文二
It was the eve of the stupendous December the Ninth Movement in 1935.
Tao-ching was ill in bed with a high fever in the cold, bare lodgings to which she had
recently moved. Toward evening Hsu Hui, Hsiao-yen, and Hou Jui gathered there and sat around the stove, talking in low voices.
“How long has she been ill?” Hsu Hui asked Hsiao-Yen. “Have you sent for a doctor?”
“Y es, the doctor’s been,” Hsiao-yen answered in a whisper. “He says it’s influenza. I’
m afraid she’s been overworking these last few days. She’s been on the go day and night, talking with people and planning how to fight the reactionaries. Her resistance has also been lowered by lack of food.”
Hou Jui shook his head, saying, “She’s worn herself out.”
“Y ou should have looked after her better, “Hsu Hui said, worried because Tao-ching
seemed to be in a coma.
Just then Tao-ching recovered consciousness and seeing the three of them, said with a
smile, “When did you arrive? I’d no idea you’d come. Tell me, Hus Hui, is our plan for tomorrow settled? There won’t be any changes, will there?”
“It’s not likely.” Hsu Hui bent over her with a smile. “Don’t you worry. Just have a good
rest.”She turned to asked Hou Jui beside her, “How many Peking University students do you think will take part in the demonstration?”

英译下列语篇，注意使用地道的英语：
“顾名思义，这是一束再放的花朵。它曾经绽开在大中学生的教材里，摇曳在中文老师的讲义上，灿烂在无数学子的诵读中。春光如水，十年过去，也许五年或十年，甚而至于更多一些年头，昔日的少年已是今天的白领阶层，抑或社会各个阶层各种角色的扮演者，对于曾经在课堂上读过的文章，至今余香在口，每能回忆，那同学少年，那花样季节，那响彻幽雅校园的琅琅之声，无一不令人心醉。于是有一天，我们这一套书的编者便作如是想，假使将那十年前读过的名篇重编一书，新加评注，让旧的读者以新的心境再读一遍，连同已逝的韶华一并温习，不亦乐乎？”
参考译文：
The title of this bilingual collection, Cherished dawn Blossoms, reminds one of a bouquet
of reopened blossom. These blossoms of Chinese literature were once in full bloom in much-read books, in teachers’curricula and on the lips of students. Time flows like water in a river. Ten or more years hence those students would have grown up, but whatever positions they might hold in society today, they will never forget those beautiful pieces of prose, poetry and stories in their old school books. The sound of the classroom recital of those masterpieces still echo in their ears, making them nostalgic for those school days.
One day, an idea suddenly hit us, the editors of this series—wouldn’t it be wonderful to
pick up those cherished blossoms and arrange them into bouquets for our readers who would probably look at them again from a new perspective, a matured aesthetic judgment?
第十二周荷塘月色
复习思考题
翻译下列语篇：
曲曲折折的荷塘上面，弥望的是田田的叶子。叶子出水很高，像亭亭的舞女的裙。
层层的叶子中间，零星地点缀着些白花，有袅娜地开着的，有羞涩地打着朵儿的；
正如一粒粒的明珠，又如碧天里的星星，又如刚出浴的美人。微风过处，送来缕缕清香，仿佛远处高楼上渺茫的歌声似的。这时候，叶子与花也有一丝的颤动，像闪电般、霎时传过荷塘那边去了。叶子本是肩并肩密密地挨着，这便宛然有了一道凝碧的波浪。叶子底下是脉脉的流水，遮住了，不能见一些颜色；而叶子却更见风致了。
参考译文：
All over this winding stretch of water, what meets the eye is a silken field of leaves,
reaching rather high above the surface, like the skirts of dancing girls in all their grace.
Here and there, layers of leaves are dotted with white lotus blossoms, some in demure bloom, others in shy bud, like scattering pearls, or twinkling stars, or beauties just out of the bath. A breeze stirs, sending over breaths of fragrance, like faint singing drifting from
a distant building.
At this moment, a tiny thrill shoots through the leaves and flowers, like a streak of
lightning, straight across the forest of lotuses. The leaves, which have been standing shoulder to shoulder, are caught trembling in an emerald heave of the pond. Underneath, the exquisite water is covered from view, and none can tell its colour; yet the leaves on top project themselves all the more attractively.

参考译文：
Reed Flute Cave is the most magnificent of all in Guilin. It derives its name from the
reeds at its entrance, which were once used to make flutes. The cave was first discovered in the Tang Dynasty. Since 1959, it has been turned into a tourist attraction. Inside the cave there are many unusual stalactite and stalagmite formations, which resemble coral, amber and jade under colourful lights. Their shapes suggest images of old trees, dense shrubs, ferocious beads and human forms.
The cave has a vast grotto, known as Crystal Palace, capable of holding up to 1,000
people. Legend has it that the stone pillar in the grotto is the Dragon King’s magic needle.
The underground path opens out onto a terrace which affords a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains, farmland and river courses.

英译下列科普语篇：
蚯蚓（earthworm）是一种有益的动物。在地面上它是其它动物的食物。在地下，它
为田野和花园制造肥沃的土壤。
蚯蚓能挖洞，而洞穴能使土壤疏松，因而使空气和水更容易达到植物的根部。这
些洞穴还有利于土壤的排水。
蚯蚓把枯萎的树叶，草和花瓣拖进洞穴中。当这些植物垃圾腐烂以后，就使土壤
肥沃。
蚯蚓对制造优良的表层土壤所起的作用是其它任何动物都比不上的。据估计，五
万条蚯蚓一年内能在一英亩的土地上制造大约十八吨优良土壤。
参考译文：
The earthworm is a useful animal. On the ground it is food for other animals. Under the
ground, it makes rich soil for fields and gardens.
Earthworms dig tunnels that loosen the soil and make it for air and water to reach the
roots of plants. These tunnels help keep the soil well drained.
Earthworms drag withered leaves, grass and flowers into their burrows. When this
plant litter decays, it makes the soil more fertile.
No other animal is so useful in building up good topsoil. It is estimated that in one
year fifty thousand earthworm carry about eighteen tons of fine soil to the surface of an acre of land.

We have creatively materialized the transformation from new democracy to socialism and established the basic system of socialism in an all-round way, enabling this big country in the East whose population accounts for a quarter of the world total to enter socialist society. This is a big leap in China’s social change and historical progress, and also serves as a powerful support and impetus to the cause of socialism in the world.
We have fulfilled the task of the new democratic revolution and realized a national
independence and the liberation of the people. We founded the People’s Republic of China after defeating the Japanese militarist aggressors and overthrowing the Kuomintang reactionaries through the Northern Expedition (1926-27), the Agrarian Revolutionary War (1927-37), the War of Resistance Against Japan (1937-45) and the War of Liberation (1945-49). The Chinese have since stood up, and the development of the Chinese nation has since ushered in a new era. （具体翻译法，明确时间）

The Most Important Speech of the Century
We learned how far up he’s come on New Y ear’s Day when every Chinese newspaper heralded a 6000-word speech in which Deng signaled the end of thousands of years of Chinese xenophobia.
It may eventually come to be regarded the most important speech of the century. For in it, the Maximum Leader of the nation that comprises one-fourth of mankind served notice that China is joining the rest of the world (save Albania) in the 20th century.
“No country can develop by closing its door,” said Deng. “We suffered from this, and our forefathers suffered from this.”Reversing thousands of years of official hostility to the world outside the Great Wall, Deng said simply: “Isolation landed China in poverty, backwardness and ignorance.”
This startling admission contradicts thousands of years of Chinese policy, going back beyond the Ming Dynasty to the Chin Dynasty, when the wall was erected to keep barbarians on horseback out in wilds where they belonged.
Deng’s message: Do not renounce Marxism, but adopt capitalist ideas where they make sense—“it can’t harm us.” Economic reform, spearheaded by younger leaders, is the single most important bulwark for the nation’s security, for only with economic strength can bombs, missiles and planes be purchased.
If China is trying to catch up to the rest of the world in the 20th century, maybe the 21st century will belong to them. They have people, brains and they can be impressively disciplined. And their industrial potential is awesome.
It may come to be commonly accepted in the next century that the most significant speech ever given by a fellow with a cowboy hat came not from Ronald Reagan but from an 80-year-old Chinese man.
本世纪最重要的讲话
戴维·奈恩
在元旦这天，当中国每家报纸都发表了邓小平的一篇六千字的讲话时，我们了解到他走了多远。这篇讲话标志着中国几千年仇外历史的终结。
这篇讲话最终有可能被认为是本世纪最重要的讲话。因为在这篇讲话中,占人类总数四分之一的国家的最高领导人宣布，中国在二十世纪正在加入世界其他国家(除了阿尔巴尼亚以外) 的行列。
邓说：“任何国家要发达起来, 闭关自守都不可能。我们吃过这个苦头, 我们的老祖宗也吃过这个苦头。”
邓改变了几千年来官方敌视长城以外的世界的态度, 他明确地说：“闭关自守把中国搞得贫穷落后,愚昧无知。”
承认这一点是令人吃惊的, 这同中国几千年来执行的政策大不一样。这种政策可以追溯到明代以前直到秦代,当时修筑了长城,为的是阻挡居住在荒原上的骑马的野蛮人。邓的意思是：不放弃马克思主义，但是只要资本主义的观念有道理, 就采纳，“因为开放伤害不了
我们”。由较年轻的领导人带头进行的经济改革是国家安全最重要的保障, 因为只有经济实力雄厚,才能购买炸弹、导弹和飞机。
如果中国在二十世纪设法赶上世界上其他国家,二十一世纪可能属于它的。他们有人力,有人才, 他们的纪律性很强。他们的工业潜力也是令人敬畏的。
下一个世纪，人们可能会普遍同意，发表最重要讲话的戴牛仔帽的人不是罗纳德··里根, 而是一位八十岁的中国人。

The town collected to see them depart, and the children ran after their carriage through the gate of the little city. They heard a rush of feet behind them for a few moments, but soon they were far down towards the valley; the little town with all its noise and life was high above them on its mountain peak. She had planted the rose at home, where it had grown and flourished in a wonderful manner; and every June the great mass of leaves and shoots still broke out into a passionate splendour of scent and crimson colour, as if in its root and fibres there still burnt the anger and thwarted desire of that Italian lover. Of course the old Conte must have died many years ago; she had forgotten his name, and had even forgotten the name of the mountain city that she had stayed in, after first seeing it twinkling at dawn in the sky, like a nest of stars. 参考译文: 次日，他们的马车修好了,上山来接他们。在就要离开旅馆之际，伯爵的老仆赶来了，送来一根包扎整齐的玫瑰枝条，并转达了伯爵旅途愉快的祝福。小城中的居民都赶来目送他们离去，孩童们也追随在车子后面，一直跟到小城门外。开始他们还能听到身后散乱的脚步声，但不久车子便驶入山谷，而这座喧闹的小城依然高高耸立于他们头顶的山颠. 她把玫瑰种在家中.玫瑰的长势非常好,枝繁叶茂;每年六月，在片片绿叶与新芽之中，绽放出绚丽的红花，散发出浓郁的香味,仿佛它的根须之间依旧燃烧着那位意大利情人的愤怒与没能实现的渴望。当然老伯爵肯定早已去世多年;而她也记不起他的名字了，甚至连她所住过的那座小城的名字也忘记了，虽然她曾经在拂晓之时看它犹如满天的繁星在空中闪烁。

2019年CATTI二级笔译英译汉真题及参考答案 【第一篇】 So where there is financial connection, we see that rapid improvements in quality of life can quickly follow. In our modern context, there are several important channels to achieving this greater financial connectivity. I want to highlight two today: increased capital mobility and increased financial inclusion. First, enabling capital to flow more freely. Allowing capital to flow across borders can help support inclusive growth. Right now, foreign direct investment —FDI — is only 1.9 percent of GDP in developing countries. Before the global financial crisis, it was at 2.5 percent. Making progress on major infrastructure needs will require capital flows to rise again and to be managed safely. Greater openness to capital flows can also bring down the cost of finance, improve the efficiency of the financial sector, and allow capital to support productive investments and new jobs. Challenges that come with opening up capital markets. Thankfully, we know from experience the elements that are required for success. These include sound financial regulation, transparent rules for investment, and attention to fiscal sustainability. We also need increased financial inclusion. A few numbers: close to half of the adult population in low and middle-income Asia-Pacific economies do not have a bank account. Less than 10 percent have ever borrowed from a financial institution. And yet, we know that closing the finance gap is an “economic must-have” for nations to thrive in the 21st century. IMF analysis shows that if the least financially inclusive countries in Asia narrowed the finance gap to the level of Thailand — an emerging market economy — the poverty rate in those countries could be reduced by nearly 4 percent. How can we get there? In part, through policies that enable more women and rural citizens to access financial services. The financial gender gap for women in developing countries is about 9 percent and has remained largely unchanged since 2011. There is no silver bullet, but we know that fintech can play a catalyzing role. In Cambodia, for example, strong public-private partnerships in supporting mobile finance has led to a tripling in the number of micro-financial institutions since 2011. These institutions have now provided loans to over 2 million new borrowers, representing nearly 20 percent of the adult population. Many of these citizens had never had a bank account. Now they can save for the future and perhaps even start a business of their own. These are ideas that can work everywhere. But countries have to be willing to partner and learn from each other. That is one of the major reasons why last October, the IMF and World Bank launched the Bali Fintech Agenda. The agenda lays out key principles — from developing financial markets to safeguarding financial integrity — that can help each nation as it strives for greater financial inclusion. 【第一篇参考答案】

1. Contrast Between English and Chinese Put the following into Chinese, pay special attention to the linguistic differences between English and Chinese. Sentence translation: 1.Now that you are in for it, you must carry on. 2.Cigarettes were the death of me. 3.If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening does not wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street. 4.If you confer a benefit, never remember it; if you receive one, remember it always. 5.Her sighs made it clear that she was unhappy. 6.They had no running water where they lived.

Passage translation: It seemed a point scored for her side when Joanne, panicked that her father-in-law would bungle the turnoff for the Pulaski Skyway, shattered the tip of her cigarette against the back of the seat and a live ash fell on the baby?s belly. It went unnoticed for a second until Corinne screamed; then they all saw it, a little flea of fire glowing beside the perfect navel. Joanne jumped, and squealed with guilt, and flapped her hands and stamped her feet and hugged the baby against her, but the evidence could not be destroyed; a brown dot of char on the globe of immaculate skin. Corinne continued her screams, splicing them with shrill hard gasps of intake, while everyone rummaged through purses and pockets for Vaseline, butter, toothpaste – anything for an urgent. Mother had a tiny bottle of toilet water given her in a department store; Joanne dabbed some of this on, and in time Corinne, shaken by more and more widely spaced spasms of sobbing, mercifully dragged her injury with her into the burrow of sleep. 2. Cohesion 1.When Smith was drunk, he used to beat his wife and daughter; and the next morning, with a headache, he would rail at the world for its neglect of his genius, and abuse, with a good
（一）英译汉练习 1. The winds of November were like summer breezes to him, and his face glowed with the pleasant cold. His cheeks were flushed and his eyes glistened; his vitality was intense, shining out upon others with almost a material warmth. 十一月的寒风，对他就像夏天吹拂的凉风一样。舒适的冷空气使他容光焕发，两颊通红，两眼闪光。他生气勃勃，叫别人感到是一团炙手的火。（英语material warmth 字面意思是"物质的温暖"，这里具体译作"一团炙手的火"言明意清，让人一看就懂。） 2. It was morning, and the new sun sparkled gold across the ripples of gentle sea. The sea was wonderfully calm and now it was rich with all the color of the setting sun. In the sky already a solitary star twinkled. 清晨，初升的太阳照着平静的海面，微波荡漾，闪耀着金色的光芒。（英语the ripples of the gentle sea 译成汉语时在结构上作了调整，这样译文念起来意思清楚，行文漂亮。） 3. To appease their thirst its readers drank deeper than before, until they were seized with a kind of delirium. 为了解渴，读者比以前越饮越深，直到陷入了昏迷状态。这个句子的译文死抠原文形式，死抠字典释义，翻译腔严重，让人难以明白其意思，可改译为：读者为了满足自己的渴望，越读越想读，直到进入了如痴如醉的状态。所谓过分表达，就是指译文画蛇添足，增加了原文没有的东西；而欠表达则是省略或删节原文的内容。翻译时均应避免这类错误。 4. Early Reagan was a mirror image of early Carter. 里根上台时在做法上跟执政初期的卡特毫无二致。 （a mirror image 如直译为"镜子里的形象"，就让人感到非常别扭，远不如"毫无二致"自然。） 5. Up Broadway he turned, and halted at a glittering café, where are gathered together nightly the choicest products of the grapes, the silkworm and the protoplasm. 他拐到百老汇路上，在一家灯火辉煌的饭店前停下来，那里每晚汇集上好的美酒、华丽的衣服和有地位的人物。 6. Words are not themselves a reality but only representation of it, and the King's English, like the Anglo-French of the Normans, is a class representation of reality. 单词本身并不是客观物体，只不过是代表客观体而已；像日尔曼人的盎格鲁法语一样，标准英语也是一种代表客观体的语言。 （King's English 不能直译为"国王英语"，它是指标准英语，相当于汉语中的"普通话"。） 7. At 19 he had commenced one of those careers attractive and inexplicable to ordinary mortals for whom a single bankruptcy is good as a feast. 他19 岁时就已经走上了一条在普通人看来是极富吸引力而又不可理解的道路，普通人认为，只是一次破产就叫人够呛了。 (good as a feast 如直译为"像丰盛的宴席一样好",意思正好反了.直接释明其意"叫人够呛",地道通顺.) 8. Mr. Kingsley and his Red Brick boys will have to look to their laurels. 金斯利先生和他那些二流大学的学生们必须小心翼翼地保持已经取得的荣誉。 （Red Brick 又称Red Brick Universities，指英国除牛津、剑桥大学以外的其他地方性二流大学。因其建筑主要是红砖砌成，不象牛津、剑桥的建筑均为古色古香的石块所建成，故得此名。 9. I was extremely worried about her, but this was neither the place nor the time for a lecture or an argument. 我真替他万分担忧，但此时此地既不宜教训她一番，也不宜与她争论一通。英语中没有量词，汉译时就得根据汉语的表达习惯增加合适的量词 10. An individual human existence should be like a river-small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls.
英语专业八级翻译练习题 1．英译汉 1) Possession for its own sake or in competition with the rest of the neighborhood would have been Thoreau's idea of the low levels. The active discipline of heightening one's perception of what is enduring in nature would have been his idea of the high. What he saved from the low was time and effort he could spend on the high. Thoreau certainly disapproved of starvation, but he would put into feeding himself only as much effort as would keep him functioning for more important efforts. Effort is the gist of it. There is no happiness except as we take on life-engaging difficulties. Short of the impossible, as Yeats put it, the satisfaction we get from a lifetime depends on how high we choose our difficulties. Robert Frost was thinking in something like the same terms when he spoke of "The pleasure of taking pains". The mortal flaw in the advertised version of happiness is in the fact that it purports to be effortless. We demand difficulty even in our games. We demand it because without difficulty there can be no game. A game is a way of making something hard for the fun of it. The rules of the game are an arbitrary imposition of difficulty. When someone ruins the fun, he always does so by refusing to play by the rules. It is easier to win at chess if you are free, at your pleasure, to change the wholly arbitrary rules, but the fun is in winning within the rules. No difficulty, no fun. 梭罗所理解的"低层次"，即为了拥有而去拥有，或与所有的邻居明争暗斗而致拥有。他心目中的"高层次"，则是这样一种积极的人生戒律，即要使自己对自然界永恒之物的感悟臻于完美。对于他从低层次上节省下来的时间和精力，他可将其致力于对高层次的追求。勿庸置疑，梭罗不赞成忍饥挨饿，但他在膳食方面所投入的精力仅果腹而已，只要可确保他能去从事更为重要的事务，他便别无所求。 殚精竭虑，全力以赴，便是其精髓所在。除非我们愿意直面那些需要我们全身心投入的艰难困苦，否则便不会有幸福可言。正如叶芝所言，除却某些不可能的情形，我们于人生中所获取的满足皆取决于我们在多高的境界中选择我们所愿意面对的艰难困苦。当罗伯特弗罗斯特言及"以苦为乐"时，他内心所思，大体如此。商业广告中所宣扬的那种幸福观，其致命的缺陷就在于这样一个事实，即它宣称，一切幸福皆唾手可得，不费吹灰之力。 即便于游戏之中，我们也需要有艰难困苦。我们之所以需要它，因为设若没有困难，便断无游戏可言。游戏即是这样一种方式，为了享受其中的情趣而人为地使事情变得不那么轻而易举。游戏中的种种规则，便是将困难武断地强加于人。当有人将情趣摧毁殆尽时，他总是因为拒不按游戏规则行事而使然。这犹如下棋；如果你随心所欲、心血来潮地去更改那些全然武断的游戏规则，这样去赢棋当然会更加容易。但下棋的情趣则在于，应在规则的限定范围内赢取胜利。一言以蔽之，没有艰难，断无情趣。 2)

My First Job When I reached the age of twelve I left the school for ever and got my first fulltime job, as a grocer’s boy. I spent my days carrying heavy loads, but I enjoyed it. It was only my capacity for hard work that saved me from early dismissal, for I could never stomach speaking to my “betters” with the deference my employer thought I should assume. But the limit was reached one Tuesday — my half holiday. On my way home on that day I used to carry a large basket of provisions to the home of my emplo yer’s sister-in-law. As her house was on my way home I never objected to this. On this particular Tuesday, however, just as we were putting the shutters up, a load of smoked hams was delivered at the shop. “Wait a minute,” said the boss, and he opened the load and took out a ham, which he started to bone and string up. I waited in growing impatience to get on my way, not for one minute but for a quite a considerable time. It was nearly half-past two when the boss finished. He then came to me with the ham, put it in the basket beside me, and instructed me to deliver it to a customer who had it on order. This meant going a long way out of my road home, so I looked up and said to the boss: “Do you know I finish at two on Tuesday?” I have never seen a man look m ore astonished than he did then. “What do you mean?” he gasped. I told him I meant that I would deliver the groceries as usual, but not the ham. He looked at me as if I were some unusual kind f insect and burst into a storm of abuse. But I stood firm. He gave me up as hopeless and tried new tactics. “Go out and get another boy,” he yelled at a shop-assistant. “Are you going to deliver them or not?” the boss turned to me and asked in a threatening tone. I repeated what I had said before. “Then, out of here,” he shouted. So I got out. This was the first time I had serious trouble with an employer.
