塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:节俭·摘录 401
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
The masters have added to their other obligations to the workpeople, the erection of comfortable cottages for their accommodation. They are built of stone, and are two-storied; some have two upper bedrooms, and others have three. On the ground floor there is a sitting-room, a living-room, and a scullery, with a walled courtyard enclosing the whole premises. The proprietor pays the poor-rates and other local charges, and the rentals of the houses vary from 2_s_. 4_d_. to 4_s_. 3_d_. a week.

白话
厂主还为工人建了舒适的石砌两层小屋,有的两间楼上卧室,有的三间。一楼有起居室、客厅和洗涤间,整个院子有围墙。房主承担济贫税和其他地方费用,租金每周2先令4便士到4先令3便士。这些住房条件在当时算相当不错,租金也合理。作者想说明,雇主提供体面住房,能让工人生活稳定,减少流动,也体现节俭积累的成果可以转化为更好的居住环境。
