塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯：节俭·摘录 352
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
"Good-night!" And Jack turned off at the lane-end towards his humble and dirty cottage in Main's Court. I might introduce you to his home,--but "home" it could scarcely be called. It was full of squalor and untidiness, confusion and dirty children, where a slattern-looking woman was scolding. Ransom's cottage, On the contrary, _was_ a home. It was snug, trig, and neat; the hearthstone was fresh sanded; the wife, though her hands were full of work, was clean and tidy; and her husband, his day's work over, could sit down with his children about him, in peace and comfort.

白话
两人分手后，杰克回到小巷里又脏又乱的家：孩子邋遢，妻子抱怨，家里毫无秩序。兰塞姆的家却整洁温馨：炉边刚铺过沙，妻子忙归忙但干净利落，丈夫下班能和孩子们安稳坐在一起。差别不在房子大小，而在日常打理和家庭氛围。想改善，可以从最小处动手：每天固定十分钟收拾公共区域，全家分工，东西用完归位，让家先有个“能坐下来”的样子。环境顺了，人的心气也会顺。
