In returning, I met at New York with the votes of the Assembly, by which it appear'd that, notwithstanding his promise to me, he and the House were already in high contention; and it was a continual battle between them as long as he retain'd the government. I had my share of it; for, as soon as I got back to my seat in the Assembly, I was put on every committee for answering his speeches and messages, and by the committees always desired to make the drafts. Our answers, as well as his messages, were often tart, and sometimes indecently abusive; and, as he knew I wrote for the Assembly, one might have imagined that, when we met, we could hardly avoid cutting throats; but he was so good-natur'd a man that no personal difference between him and me was occasion'd by the contest, and we often din'd together.

白话
富兰克林回到纽约时看到议会投票记录,发现总督虽然对他做过承诺,却早已和议会激烈争吵,而且只要他在任就争斗不断。富兰克林也卷入其中:一回到议会席位,就被派去参加所有回应总督的委员会,并总是被要求起草文稿。双方的答复和 messages 常常尖刻,有时甚至粗鲁谩骂。总督知道富兰克林替议会写稿,外人以为他们见面会拔刀相向,但总督脾气很好,两人从未因政见不同产生私人恩怨,还常一起吃饭。这说明,公共争论和私人关系可以分开,保持个人友善有助于缓和冲突。
上下文
