85. The Anthrop The purchaser of a black servant was persuaded tha t the colour of his skin arose from dirt contracted through the neglect of his former masters. On bringing him home he resorted to every means of cleaning, and subjected him to incessant scrubbings. He caught a severe cold, but he never changed his colour nor complexion. What's bred in te bone will stick to the flesh. | 85. 黑人 有人告诉一位黑奴的买主说:「黑奴皮肤的颜色是由于他前任主人的疏忽,因此显得骯脏污黑。」 于是他便将黑奴带回家来,尽力让他清洗,命令他不停地刷洗。 后来黑奴染了一场重感冒,他却始终不能改变他皮肤上的颜色。 生在骨里的东西,也总粘在肌肉上。 |
