塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯：节俭·摘录 180
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
At length Lough went from Newcastle to London, to push his way in the world of art. He obtained a passage in a collier, the skipper of which he knew. When he reached London, he slept on board the collier as long as it remained in the Thames. He was so great a favourite with the men, that they all urged him to go back. He had no friends, no patronage, no money; What could he do with everything against him? But, having already gone so far, he determined to proceed. He would not go back--at least, not yet. The men all wept when he took farewell of them. He was alone in London; under the shadow of St. Paul's.

白话
后来洛从纽卡斯尔去伦敦，想在艺术界闯出一条路。他搭上一艘运煤船，因为认识船长。到了伦敦，他就睡在船上，直到船离开泰晤士河。船员们都很喜欢他，劝他回去。他没朋友、没靠山、没钱，处处不利，能怎么办？但既然已经走到这一步，他决定继续往前。他不肯回头——至少现在不。告别时船员们都哭了。他独自留在伦敦，在圣保罗大教堂的阴影下。
