内容简介

    这是Panem等罗马民众马戏的新版本。这是我们的最后通牒,因为这是他们的。他们必须有东西吃,马戏团,显示看。我们必须有东西吃,文件阅读。
    其他一切,我们可以放弃。如果我们有钱,我们可以放下我们的车,远离纽波特或萨拉托加,并宣布无限期的欧洲之旅死亡。如果我们在一个小的方式生活,至少有新衣服和帽子,每一天的奢侈品,我们可以取消。如果家庭的年轻Zouave似乎是精明在他的新制服,其可观的头内容,尽管他本人作为一个成长邋遢的香菜,伞形在本赛季末。他将高兴地平息不安在购买一个新的地方刷他的老门诊海狸午睡,只要中尉的jaunty中的上限是应该的。我们都参与分享的时间流行病经济的骄傲。只有面包和报纸,我们必须有,我们做任何东西没有。
    ===
    This is the new version of the Panem et Circenses of the Roman populace. It is our ultimatum, as that was theirs. They must have something to eat, and the circus-shows to look at. We must have something to eat, and the papers to read.
    Everything else we can give up. If we are rich, we can lay down our carriages, stay away from Newport or Saratoga, and adjourn the trip to Europe sine die. If we live in a small way, there are at least new dresses and bonnets and every-day luxuries which we can dispense with. If the young Zouave of the family looks smart in his new uniform, its respectable head is content, though he himself grow seedy as a caraway-umbel late in the season. He will cheerfully calm the perturbed nap of his old beaver by patient brushing in place of buying a new one, if only the Lieutenant's jaunty cap is what it should be. We all take a pride in sharing the epidemic economy of the time. Only bread and the newspaper we must have, whatever else we do without.
