I tried to answer the King as well as I could，but he did notthink our system was a good one.No，my little friend he saidkindly but seriously，I'm sorry for you.You've proved to methat your country has nothing valuable to offer us.

我力圖盡可能滿意地回答國(guó)王，可是他并不認(rèn)為我們的制度好。不，我的小朋友，他和善而認(rèn)真地說(shuō)，我為你感到遺憾。你向我證明了你們沒(méi)有什么有價(jià)值的東西提供給我們。

Perhaps once，in the past，your political life was adequately organized，but now it is clear thatthere is laziness and selfishness in every part of the system.

也許在過(guò)去，你們的政治生活曾經(jīng)組織得恰當(dāng)，可是現(xiàn)在很明顯，這個(gè)制度的每一部分都充滿了惰性和自私。

Your politicians can be bribed，your soldiers aren't really brave，your judges and lawyers areneither reasonable nor honest，and your lawmakers themselves know little and do less.

你們的政客可以受賄賂，你們的戰(zhàn)士并不真的勇敢，你們的法官和律師既不通情理也不誠(chéng)實(shí)，而你們的法律制定者自己知道得很少，做得更少。

I sincerely hope that you，who have spent most of your life travelling，have a better characterthan most Englishmen.

你一生的大多數(shù)時(shí)光都用于旅行了，我真誠(chéng)地希望你比大多數(shù)英國(guó)人品行要好，

But from what you've told me，I'm afraid that your countrymen are foe worst little nation ofinsects that has ever crawled upon the ground.

不過(guò)據(jù)你所告訴我的，我擔(dān)心你的國(guó)人是地上曾經(jīng)爬行過(guò)的昆蟲(chóng)中最糟糕的小國(guó)民。

I am very sorry to have to report these words of the King s，and I only do so because of my loveof the truth.I must tell you exactly what happened，even if I do not agree with it.I had tolisten patiently，while he was giving his extraordinary opinions of my dear country.

我非常遺憾不得不轉(zhuǎn)述國(guó)王的這些話，我這樣做只是因?yàn)槲覍?duì)真相的熱愛(ài)。我必須原原本本地告訴你們發(fā)生的事，即使我并不贊同。在他發(fā)表關(guān)于我親愛(ài)的祖國(guó)的不同尋常的看法時(shí)，我不得不耐心地聽(tīng)著。

We must remember，however，that this King lives in a country almost completely separate fromthe rest of the world.Because he does not know other countries systems or customs，he has acertain narrowness of thinking，which we Europeans do not have，of course.

不過(guò)我們必須記住，這個(gè)國(guó)王生活在幾乎完全與世隔絕的國(guó)度里，因?yàn)樗恢绖e的國(guó)家的制度或習(xí)俗，他的想法中有一定的狹隘性，這當(dāng)然是我們歐洲人所沒(méi)有的。

關(guān)于《格列佛游記》

她很喜歡格列佛，處處對(duì)他進(jìn)行無(wú)微不至的關(guān)懷和照顧。最后格列佛在格蘭黛克利其生重病時(shí)逃走，格蘭黛克利其也將面臨著未知的懲罰…
