Soon after his father’s release from prison, Dickens got a better job as errand boy in law offices. He taught himself shorthand to get an even better job later as a court stenographer and as a reporter in Parliament. At the same time, Dickens, who had a reporter’s eye for transcribing the life around him especially anything comic or odd, submitted short sketches to obscure magazines.

父亲出狱后不久，狄更斯在律师事务所找到了一份更好的差事——当跑腿的。他自学速记，后来得到了更好的工作，担任法庭速记员和议会记者。与此同时，狄更斯以记者的眼光记录身边的生活，尤其是任何滑稽或古怪的事情，并向一些不知名的杂志投寄短篇随笔。

“When I come home from a hard day’s work, I often feel [tired],” Danaher says, adding, “In a world in which I don’t have to work, I might feel rather different” — perhaps different enough to throw himself [into] a hobby or a passion project with the intensity usually reserved for [professional] matters.

“当我辛苦工作一天回到家时，我常常感到{{18}}，”丹纳赫说，并补充道，“在一个我不必工作的世界里，我的感觉可能会大不相同”——也许不同到足以让他以通常只留给{{20}}事务的那种热情{{19}}一项爱好或一个热衷的项目。

“The valuable examples which they furnish of the power of self-help, of patient purpose, resolute working, and steadfast integrity, issuing in the formation of truly noble and manly character, exhibit,” wrote Smiles, “what it is in the power of each to accomplish for himself.”

斯迈尔斯写道：“他们提供了宝贵的榜样，展现了自助、坚忍的目标、坚定的工作和不渝的正直所具有的力量，并由此塑造出真正高尚而有男子气概的品格；这些榜样表明，每个人都有能力为自己成就什么。”

Oman rated Scovell’s significance highly, but at the same time, the general nature of his History meant that (48) he could not analyze carefully what this obscure officer may or may not have contributed to that great struggle between nations or indeed tell us anything much about the man himself.

欧曼对斯科维尔的重要性评价很高，但与此同时，由于他的《半岛战争史》是一部通史，（48）他无法仔细分析这位无名军官在那场国家间的伟大斗争中可能做出或未曾做出的贡献，也无法告诉我们关于此人的更多情况。

On the other hand, Tronick himself is concerned that the worries about kids’ use of screens are born out of an “oppressive ideology that demands that parents should always be interacting” with their children: “It’s based on a somewhat fantasised, very white, very upper-middle-class ideology that says if you’re failing to expose your child to 30,000 words you are neglecting them.”

另一方面，特罗尼克本人担心，对孩子使用屏幕的忧虑源于一种“要求父母应该始终与孩子互动的压迫性观念”：“这种观念有点脱离现实，非常白人化，非常中上阶层化，它认为如果你没能让孩子接触到三万个单词，你就是在忽视他们。”
