About ten o’clock on the following morning, seedy and hungry, I was dragging myself along Portland Place, when a child that was passing, towed by a nurse-maid, tossed a luscious big pear—minus one bite —into the gutter. I stopped of course, and fastened my desiring eye on that muddy treasure. My mouth watered for it, my stomach craved it, my whole being begged for it.

　　【譯文】第二天上午大約十點(diǎn)鐘，我餓著肚子，狼狽不堪，正在波特蘭路拖著腳步行走時(shí)，剛好有一個(gè)小孩子由保姆牽手走過(guò)，把一只美味的大梨扔到陰溝里——只咬過(guò)一口。不消說(shuō)，我站住了，貪婪地盯著那個(gè)泥污了的寶貝。我垂涎欲滴，肚子咕咕直叫，全身心地在乞求它。
