Dear to me was the labour at my desk, which, by comparison, enabled me to respect myself.

对我来说宝贵的是我办公桌前的劳动， 相比之下，这使我能够尊重自己。

The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself.

越孤独，越没有朋友，越没有立足之地，我就越会尊重自己。

It was right I was glad of it, yet I was proud and, though I did not ask or hope for anything, I did want him to see that I respected myself, remembered my duty, and could do right as well as he.

虽然我没有要求或希望任何东西， 但我确实希望他看到我尊重自己， 记住我的职责， 并且可以像他一样做对。
