On the contrary, there was no other man in the city, we are bold to affirm, of so much as half his years, who enjoyed so many lightsome and griefless moments as himself.

相反，我可以大胆肯定，这座城市中没有其人，在半岁的岁月中，能像一样享受如此多的轻忧虑的时刻。

So, with lightsome hearts and the happy consciousness of being usefully employed—in their own behalf at least, if not for our beloved country—these good old gentlemen went through the various formalities of office.

因此， 带着轻的心被有用的工作的快乐意识——至少为了己的利益，如果不是为了我心爱的国家——这些善良的老先生经历了各种办公室手续。

I have never forgotten them or his quiet smile, but have seen them every day, side by side with those of my own dear children, dead and gone since I was a lightsome young creature.

我从未忘记或安静的微笑，但每天都看到，与我亲爱的孩子并肩作战，从我还是一个轻盈的小生命以来，就已经死去。
