自私的打算

I throw out these queries for intelligent readers to answer, who know, at once, how credulous we are, and how sceptical, how soft and how obstinate, how firm for others and how diffident about ourselves: meanwhile, it is certain that our friend William Dobbin, who was personally of so complying a disposition that if his parents had pressed him much, it is probable he would have stepped down into the kitchen and married the cook, and who, to further his own interests, would have found the most insuperable difficulty in walking across the street, found himself as busy and eager in the conduct of George Osborne's affairs, as the most selfish tactician could be in the pursuit of his own.

我问了这许多问题，请聪明的读者们自己回答。你们都知道人性的确是这样的，既肯轻信又爱怀疑，说它软弱它又很顽固，自己打不定主意，为别人做事倒又很有决断。咱们的朋友威廉·都宾本人非常好说话，如果他爹娘逼着他，没准他也会跑进厨房把厨娘娶来做妻子。为他本身利益打算，哪怕叫他过一条街呢，他也会为难得走投无路，可是为乔治·奥斯本办事的时候，反倒热心忙碌，最自私的政客钻营的精神也不过如此。

Men seldom flatter without some private end in view.

谄媚别人的人很少是没有自私打算的。
