当时特有的

Whether from commiseration for a woman of so miserable a destiny; or from the morbid curiosity that gives a fictitious value even to common or worthless things; or by whatever other intangible circumstance was then, as now, sufficient to bestow, on some persons, what others might seek in vain; or because Hester really filled a gap which must otherwise have remained vacant; it is certain that she had ready and fairly requited employment for as many hours as she saw fit to occupy with her needle.

或许是出于对这位如此命苦的女人的怜悯；或许是出于对平淡无奇的事情也要故弄玄虚的少见多怪；或许是出于某种难以解释的原因——这在当时和今天都是有的——某些人苦求不得的、别人却可予取予夺、或许是因为海丝特确实填补了原先的一项空白；不管是什么原因吧，反正求她做针线的活路源源不断，只要她乐意于多少钟点，总有很不错的收入。

Apart from composing, Hindemith is also a great artist. Here he illustrated the musical work with colored pencil, drawing a lion for each entry of the subject of the fugues. And for each of the twelve, a different lion according to the character of the music, providing an instructive formal analysis of the music. The lions are really cute. Some are wearing pajamas and slippers and some plucking flowers.

除了作曲，欣德米特也特别好画画，画工得到当时文艺界公认，他的画风特别可爱，比如这个每个赋格曲的主题开端都画了一只小狮子，这些可爱的小狮子代表的正是他狮子座的妻子Gertrud Rottenberg，每一只狮子颜色都不一样，有的还穿着睡衣和拖鞋，每一只的表情和动作代表了这一小节所表达的心情。

有的认为，更进一步来说，创造艺术杂志值得不低于尊重比光泽杂志或书籍艺术家，据图书馆馆长苏珊托马斯，他们展开了电子杂志收集在普拉特研究所，在2004年期间，她当时在纽约大学。

Speaking for our own shares, Charlie and I have absolutely no complaint about these taxes. We know we work in a market-based economy that rewards our efforts far more bountifully than it does the efforts of others whose output is of equal or greater benefit to society. Taxation should, and does, partially redress this inequity. But we still remain extraordinarily well-treated. Berkshire and its shareholders, in combination, would pay a much smaller tax if Berkshire operated as a partnership or "S" corporation, two structures often used for business activities. For a variety of reasons, that's not 9 www.buffettism.com 巴菲特研究中心 Research Centre for Buffettism feasible for Berkshire to do.

经由我个人最喜爱的漫画短片，Li'l Abner，我有机会可以体会到延迟支付所得税的好处，虽然当时我没有好好地利用那次机会，为了让他的读者觉得自己很优越， Abner 一直快乐地 Li'l 维持单身，直到他为纽约一位女演员 Appassionatta 深深地着迷，但由于她只对百万富翁有兴趣，因此一贫如洗的 Abner 可以说是一点希望都没有，在遭到拒绝之后，Abner 跑去智能老人 Mose 那里请他指点迷津，结果这位圣贤对 Abner 说，很简单你只要能够将身上仅有的一块钱，复制 20 次， Appassionatta 自然就会投入到你的怀抱(1，2，4，8，…。，1，048，576)。
