如果你给我你的注意力，我会告诉你我是什么:我是一个真正的慈善家-所有其他类型的都是假的。脾气上的每一个小毛病，社会上的每一个缺点，我都尽力去改正。我打开人们的眼睛，让他们看到他们所有的小弱点;我爱我的同胞——我尽我所能做好事——然而每个人都说我是一个令人讨厌的人!我不知道为什么!对夸大其词的恭维，我以尖刻的回答;对虚荣心，我总是竭力克制;这是一种我能巧妙剖析的慈善行为;还有我很乐意发现的动机。我知道每个人的收入和收入，并仔细地将其与所得税申报表进行比较;但是为了造福人类，无论我多么努力，每个人都说我是个讨厌的人! And I can't think why! I'm sure I'm no ascetic; I'm as pleasant as can be; You'll always find me ready with a crushing repartee; I've an irritating chuckle, I've a celebrated sneer, I've an entertaining snigger, I've a fascinating leer; To everybody's prejudice I know a thing or two; I can tell a woman's age in half a minute - and I do - But although I try to make myself as pleasant as I can, Yet everybody says I'm such a disagreeable man! And I can't think why!
