📖 原文片段

So then I chose another profession, and learned to pilot airplanes. I have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me. At a glance I can distinguish China from Arizona. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable.

于是我选择了另外一种职业，我学会了开飞机。我几乎飞遍了世界的每个角落；说实在的，地理的确对我大有帮助。我一眼就能找到中国与美国亚利桑那州的不同之处。如果在夜间迷失了航向，此类知识是很有用的。

In the course of this life I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence. I have lived a great deal among grown-ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand. And that hasn’t much improved my opinion of them.

在我这一生中，我大量接触过很多一心关注重要事件的人。我在大人们之间生活了很久。近距离深入地观察过他们，但那并没有使我对他们的看法有多大的改善。

Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted, I tried the experiment of showing him my Drawing Number One, which I have always kept. I would try to find out, so, if this was a person of true understanding. But, whoever it was, he, or she, would always say: “That is a hat.”

每当我遇到一个在我看来头脑还算清楚的大人时，我就拿出我一直保存着的第一号绘画作品给他看，做个小测验。我想知道他是否具有真正的理解力。但无论对方是谁，总会说：“那是一顶帽子。”

Then I would never talk to that person about boa constrictors, or primeval forests, or stars. I would bring myself down to his level. I would talk to him about bridge, and golf, and politics, and necktie. And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such a sensible man.

于是，我就不和他谈蟒蛇、原始森林或者星星了。我会把自己降到他的水平，跟他谈桥牌、高尔夫、政治和领带。而这位大人会很高兴能结识我这样一个通情达理的人。
