兽性的

On the part of the selfish, the prejudices, shadows of costly education, appetite increasing through intoxication, a giddiness of prosperity which dulls, a fear of suffering which, in some, goes as far as an aversion for the suffering, an implacable satisfaction, the I so swollen that it bars the soul; on the side of the wretched covetousness, envy, hatred of seeing others enjoy, the profound impulses of the human beast towards assuaging its desires, hearts full of mist, sadness, need, fatality, impure and simple ignorance.

在自私的人方面，有种种成见，那种发家致富教育的毒害，越吃越馋的胃口，财迷心窍的丧心病狂，对受苦的惧怕，有些竟恶化到了对受苦人的厌恶，毫不容情地要满足自己的欲念，自负到了精神闭塞的状态；在贫苦的人方面，有羡慕心、嫉妒心、见别人快乐而起的愤恨、因追求满足而发自内心深处的兽性冲动、充满了迷雾的心、忧愁、希求、怨命、不洁而又单纯的无知。

But a Broom stick, perhaps you'll say, is an Emblem of a Tree standing on i ts Head; and pray what is Man, but a Topsyturvy Creature, his Animal Faculties p erpetually a Cock Horse and Rational; His Head where his Heels should be; grov eling on the Earth, and yet with all his Faults, he sets up to be an universal R eformer and Corrector of Abuses, a Remover of Grievances, rakes into every Slut' s Comer of Nature, bringing hidden Corruptions to the Light, and raises a mighty Dust where there was none before, sharing deeply all the while, in the very sam e Pollutions he pretends to sweep away: His last Days are spent in Slavery to Wo men, and generally the least deserving;'till worn to the Stumps, like his Broth er Bezom, he's either kickt out of Doors, or made use of to kindle Flames, for o thers to warm Themselves by.

或许你会说，一根扫帚把不过象征着一棵头冲下的树而已，那么请问：人又是什么？不也是一个颠倒的动物吗？他的兽性总是骑在理性的背上，他的头去了该脚应去的地方，总是在土里趴着。可是尽管有这么多毛病，他还自命为天下的改革家、除弊者、伸冤者，把手伸进人世间每个藏污纳垢的角落，扫出来一大堆从未暴露过的脏物，把原来干净的地方弄得尘土满天，非但没扫走脏物，还把自己弄得满身污垢。到了晚年，他又变成女人的奴隶，通常是一些最不堪的女人，直到他被折磨得只剩下一根枯枝，于是他也像他的扫帚老弟一样，或者是被扔出门外，或者是被拿来生火，用于温暖别人了。

As she looked at Warrington's manly face, and dark, melancholy eyes, she had settled in her mind that he must have been the victim of an unhappy attachment.

每逢看到沃林顿那刚毅的脸，那乌黑、忧郁的眼睛，她便会相信，他一定作过不幸的爱情的受害者。

Maybe they'll disappear into a pothole.

也许他们将在壶穴里消失
