    Tell me more about your country,he said to me one day.Iwould like to hear about your laws,your political life,and yourcustoms.Tell me everything.There may be something thatwe can usefully copy here in Brobdingnag.I shall bedelighted, sir,I answered proudly.Our king controls ourthree great countries,Scotland,Ireland and England.

    再告诉我一些关于你们国家的事,一天他对我说,我想听听你们的法律、你们的政治生活以及你们的风俗习惯。告诉我这些方面的全部情况,也许有些东西我们可以搬到布罗卜丁奈格来用。我很高兴,先生,我骄傲地回答,我们的国王控制着三个伟大的国家:苏格兰、爱尔兰和英格兰。

    We grow much of our own food,and our weather is neither too hot nor too cold.There are twogroups Of men who make our laws.One is called the House of Lords-they are men from theoldest and greatest families in the country.The other is called the House of Commons-these arethe most honest,intelligent,and sensible men in the country,and are freely chosen by thepeople.

    我们的食物大部分自己出产,天气既不太冷也不太热。有两组人制定我们的法律,其一叫做上议院,他们来自这个国家最古老最伟大的家族,其二叫做下议院,他们是这个国家最诚实、聪明而通情达理的人,是由人民自由选出来的。

    We have judges to decide punishments for criminals,and we have a large army,which cannotbe defeated by any other in the world.While I was talking,the King was making notes.Forseveral days I continued my explanation,and I also described British history over the lasthundred years.Then the King asked me a large number of questions.These were some ofthem.

    我们有法官决定对犯罪分子的惩罚,我们有庞大的军队,无敌于全世界。在我讲的时候,国王作着笔记。我连续几天进行解释,我也描述了过去百来年不列颠的历史。然后国王问了我一大堆问题。这是其中几个。

    How do you teach and train young people of good family?If the last son of an old familydies,how do you make new lords for the House of Lords?

    你们怎么教育、训练好家族的年青人?如果一个古老家族的最后一个儿子去世了,你们怎么给上议院选定新的议员?
