He was more contented in making shoes, than was any of the seven sages. His neighbor, on the contrary, who was rolling in wealth, sung but little, and slept less.

比起当希腊七圣，做鞋更让他感到满足。与此相反，他的邻居，拥有万贯家财，却很少唱歌，晚上也睡得不好。

In all our dealings with him lies implicit, the delusion that he has nothing to complain of, and that he ought to be ashamed of rolling in wealth whilst others are starving.

在我们与他的所有交往中都隐含着一种错觉， 即他没有什么可抱怨的， 他应该为在别人挨饿的时候滚滚而来的财富感到羞耻。
