How long before they turn their guns in the other direction? 　　26 It was curious really. Every white man there had this thought stowed somewhere or other in his mind. I had it, so had the other onlookers, so had the officers on their sweating chargers and the white N. C. Os marching in the ranks. It was a kind of secret which we all knew and were too clever to tell。t it a fact that the average Jew is a labourer working for about a penny an hour? 　　14 Ah, that39。 re the real rulers of this country, you know. They’ve got all the money. They control the banks, finance everything.　　13 But, I said, isn39。s blood boil, whereas on the whole the plight of the human beings does not. I am not menting, merely pointing to a fact. People with brown skins are next door to invisible. Anyone can be sorry for the donkey with its galled back, but it is generally owing to some kind of accident if one even notices the old woman under her load of sticks. 　　22 As the storks flew northward the Negroes were marching southward a long, dusty column, infantry , screwgun batteries, and then more infantry, four or five thousand men in all, winding up the road with a clumping of boots and a clatter of iron wheels. 　　23 They were Senegalese, the blackest Negroes in Africa, so black that sometimes it is difficult to see whereabouts on their necks the hair begins. Their splendid bodies were hidden in reachmedown khaki uniforms, their feet squashed into boots that looked like blocks of wood, and every tin hat seemed to be a couple of sizes too small. It was very hot and the men had marched a long way. They slumped under the weight of their packs and the curiously sensitive black faces were glistening with sweat. 　　24 As they went past, a tall, very young Negro turned and caught my eye. But the look he gave me was not in the least the kind of look you might expect. Not hostile, not contemptuous, not sullen, not even inquisitive. It was the shy, wideeyed Negro look, which actually is a look of profound respect. I saw how it was. This wretched boy, who is a French citizen and has therefore been dragged from the forest to scrub floors and catch syphilis in garrison towns, actually has feelings of reverence before a white skin. He has been taught that the white race are his masters, and he still believes it. 　　25 But there is one thought which every white man (and in this connection it doesn39。 Keep the Aspidistra Flying。s lives. They are panions, not intimates. The fact that their marriages may be on the rooks, or that their love affairs have been broken or even that they got out of bed on the wrong side is simply not a concern. They are like the musketeers of Dumas who, although they lived side by side with each other, did not delve into,each other39。s English in such a society. There is always resistance in the lower classes to any attempt by an upper class to lay down rules for English as it should be spoken.　　 8 Look at the language barrier between the Saxon churls and their Norman conquerors. The conversation had swung from Australian convicts of the 19th century to the English peasants of the 12th century. Who was right, who was wrong, did not matter. The conversation was on wings.　　 9 Someone took one of the bestknown of examples, which is still always worth the reconsidering. When we talk of meat on our tables we use French words。s English, and it rings true.　　 13 One could have expected that it would be about then that the phrase would be coined. After five centuries of growth, o1f tussling with the French of the Normans and the Angevins and the Plantagenets and at last absorbing it, the conquered in the end conquering the conqueror. English had e royally into its own.　　 14 There was a King39。s English. We would never hay gone to Australia, or leaped back in time to the Norman Conquest.　　 21 And there would have been nothing to think about the next morning. Perhaps above all, one would not have been engaged by interest in the musketeer who raised the subject, wondering more about her. The bother about teaching chimpanzees how to talk is that they will probably try to talk sense and so ruin all conversation.(from The Washington Post (華盛頓郵報(bào)), May 6, 1979)NOTES1.

For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribednearly a century and threequarters ago. 　　2 The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forebears fought is still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man e not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. 　　3 We dare not forget today that we a
