On National PrejudicesOliver GoldsmithAs I am one of that sauntering tribe of mortals, who spend the greatest part of their time in taverns, coffee houses, and other places of public resort, I have thereby an opportunity of observing an infinite variety of characters, which, to a person of a contemplative turn, is a much higher entertainment than a view of all the curiosities of art or nature. In one of these, my late rambles, I accidentally fell into the company of half a dozen gentlemen, who were engaged in a warm dispute about some political affair; the decision of which, as they were equally divided in their sentiments, they thought proper to refer to me, which naturally drew me in for a share of the conversation.Amongst a multiplicity of other topics, we took occasion to talk of a different characters of the several nations of Europe; when one of the gentlemen, cocking his hat, and assuming such an air of importance as if he had possessed all the merit of the English nation in his own person, declared that the Dutch were a parcel of avaricious wretches; the French a set of flattering sycophants; that the Germans were drunken sots, and beastly gluttons; and the Spaniards proud, haughty, and surly tyrants; but that in bravery, generosity, clemency, and in every other virtue, the English excelled all the world.This very learned and judicious remark was received with a general smile of approbation by all the company--all, I mean, but your humble servant; who, endeavoring to keep my gravity as well as I could, I reclined my head upon my arm, continued for some times in a posture of affected thoughtfulness, as if I had been musing on something else, and did not seem to attend to the subject of conversation; hoping by these means to avoid the disagreeable necessity of explaining myself, and thereby depriving the gentlemen of his imaginary happiness.急啊 英语高手来 明天要交的5555 快啊 不要在线翻译的 那个翻译的太垃圾 谢谢诶 展开

论国家偏见

作者:奥利弗哥德史密斯

作为悠闲的芸芸众生中的一员,我大多数时间是在酒馆,咖啡厅或其它公共场所里打发的。正因此,我才有机会来观察形形色色的人物。这种娱乐方式对生性喜爱沉思的我而言,比欣赏艺术或自然界的奇妙更引人入胜。在最近一次闲逛中,我偶然碰见六位绅士,他们当时正在激烈地讨论政事,于是我便站在一边旁听。由于意见不一,且双方支持人数相同,他们认为理应咨询我的看法。自然而然,我也加入了此次谈话。

在诸多话题中,我们乘机谈到了欧洲一些国家的不同特征;其中一位绅士,将帽子一歪,摆出一副郑重其事的架势,好像自己拥有英国人民所有的优点一般,声称荷兰人是一群贪婪的可怜人;法国人是一群奉承谄媚者;德国人是一群饕餮烂醉之徒;西班牙人是一群傲慢专横之流。然而,说到勇敢,慷慨,宽厚,或其它美德,英国人在世界上是可圈可点的。

在场所有人对这句“博学睿智”的言辞报之一笑,并大为赞赏。然而,尊敬的英国,这里指的所有人是除了您卑微的仆人在下之外的。我极力保持庄重之态,双手托住头,一直假装摆出一副冥思的姿势,仿佛在思考别的事而未注意谈话的主题,希望借此可以避免发表看法,以免让自己蒙羞,也好让他们继续沉浸在自己想象的快乐之中。
