Much like the disturbing, unfulfilling adventure in "An Encounter," the narrator's failure at the bazaar suggests that fulfillment and contentedness remain foreign to Dubliners, even in the most unusual events of the city like an annual bazaar.

很像令人不安， unfulfilling冒险"相遇"，叙述者未能在集市表明，实现和保持外国知足以都柏林，甚至在最不寻常事件的城市一样，每年集市。

Me, she had dispensed from joining the group; saying,"She regretted to be under the necessity of keeping me at a distance; but that until she heard from Bessie, and could discover by her own observation, that I was endeavouring in good earnest to acquire a more sociable and childlike disposition, a more attractive and sprightly manner something lighter, franker, more natural, as it wereshe really must exclude me from privileges intended only for contented, happy, little children."

她没让我和他们在一起；她说她很遗憾，不得不叫我离他们远一点；她真的不能把只给知足快乐的小孩的那些特权给我，除非是白茜告诉了她，而且还要她自己亲眼看到，我确实是在认认真真地努力培养一种更加天真随和的性情，一种更加活泼可爱的态度--大概是更轻快、更坦率、更自然的一种什么吧。

Complacent =self-satisfied, usually in an unreflective way and without being aware of possible dangers.

其实这个词更侧重后面这层意思，而不是光指做人很知足或太自满，而是说，在没有认识到真正情况的时候，就掉以轻心了。
