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.
高傲与贫穷
在马德里街头,一个看来体魄壮健的年轻人正在向一位绅士乞讨.绅士看着他忍不住说:"像你这样强壮而又健康的人不去工作却在乞讨,难道不觉得害羞吗?"
乞丐以纯粹西班牙人的高傲态度答道:"先生,我在向你讨钱,而不是在向你讨教."
