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。

The parliament also agreed to ban websites that “incite excessive thinness” by promoting extreme dieting.

议会还同意禁止那些通过宣扬极端节食来“煽动过度消瘦”的网站。
