The Bellamy and the Members | 贝拉米与成员们

English Original

The members of a body of Socialists rose in insurrection against their Bellamy.

"Why," said they, "should we be all the time tucking you out with food when you do nothing to tuck us out?"

So, resolving to take no further action, they went away. Looking backward, they had the satisfaction to see the Bellamy compelled to sell his own book.


中文翻译

一群社会主义者组织的成员们揭竿而起,反抗他们的贝拉米。

他们质问道:“为什么我们要一直用食物供养你,而你却什么都不为我们做?”

于是,他们决定不再采取任何行动,转身离去。回头望去,他们满意地看到贝拉米被迫出售他自己的书。
