我开始能挣口饭吃的时候,还不到十四岁,日子不大好过。那时候,境况和今天不一样。现在孩子们都能上学,学一手本领,或者找个职业:他可以当镟工,也可以当拖拉机手、海军军官、航空员、工程师、医生,甚至也可以当内阁总理。从前,办点什么事情都得花钱;而且上得起学的人,也寥寥无几。 When I started earning food, I was fourteen years younger than I was. At that time, the situation is different from today. Now kids can go to school, learn first-hand skills or find a job: he can be a layman, a tractor, a naval officer, an aviation officer, an engineer, a doctor, or even a prime minister. In the past, to do anything has to spend money; but also afford to learn from people, but also very few.
