Black Beauty – Part I

4.James 的故事 (James’ Story)

一个冬天的早晨,John 和 James正在马厩里干活,Gaodon 先生来了,手里拿封信,一脸严肃。

“早上好”,他问John说,“你对James 有什么意见么?”“没有”。

“他干活的时候偷懒么?” “从没有过,先生”。

“他听你话,对你够尊重么?” “一直都是,先生”。

John 不明白主人为何这样问,就说:“不管是谁说 James 的坏话,我都不信。John 是个诚实稳重聪明快乐的年轻人。我相信他说的话,也放心他的工作。他对马也很温和。如果有谁想抱怨 James, 让他直接找我。”

Gaodon先生听完,脸上露出宽厚的笑容。把 James 喊过来说,“John 对你的评价和我一样。我夫人的兄弟,Sir Clifford Williams,想找一个年轻可靠的马车夫( a trustworthy young groom),每周付十八先令 (shillings),管吃住,还有个帮手。他以前的马车夫,服侍他三十年了,快要干不动了。虽然我和 John 都舍不得你离开,但是Sir Clifford Williams是个好主人,这是个好的机会,以后你会有更大的发展。回去跟你母亲商量一下,然后再答复我。”

几天之后,这事就定下来了。再过一个多月,James 就会去Sir Clifford Williams 那里了。可是去之前,John还要抓紧对 James 的培训,教他赶马车。

Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any points for inexperienced blog writers? I’d really appreciate it.

Hi,

Thank you for your comments.

As you can guess, I rarely read any comments as most of them are simply spams.
And I haven’t gained much experiences on blog and on word-press skills neither. Actually I haven’t updated my blog for months.

I truly love your site.. Great colors & theme. Did you build this website yourself? Please reply back as I’m planning to create my very own blog and want to learn where you got this from or just what the theme is called. Many thanks!

I want to express my appreciation for the well-structured and well-written nature of this article. It flows seamlessly from one point to the next, making it easy to follow and understand. The author’s ability to present complex ideas in a clear and concise manner is commendable.
