Eulogy for a Dog 狗的礼赞 The money that a man has he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A mans reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. 一个人所拥有的金钱可能失去，很可能在最需要的时候它却插翅飞走；一个人的声誉可能断送在考虑欠周的一瞬间。 The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its clouds upon our heads. 那些一贯在我们成功时来屈膝奉承的人，很可能就是当失败的阴云笼罩在我们头上时投掷第一块阴险恶毒之石的人。 The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world---the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous---is his dog.  在这个自私的世界上，一个人唯一毫不自私的朋友，唯一不抛弃他的朋友，唯一不忘恩负义的朋友，就是他的狗。 A mans dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and sickness. 不问主人是穷困或腾达，健康或病弱，狗，都会守在主人的身旁。 He will sleep on the cold ground where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he can be near his masters side. 只要能靠近主人，不管地面冰凉坚硬，寒风凛冽，大雪纷飞，它会全然不顾地躺在主人身边。 He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. 哪怕主人无食喂养，它仍会舐主人的手和主人手上因抵御这个冷酷的世界而受的创伤。 He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. 纵然主人是乞丐，它也象守护王子一样伴随着他。 When all other friends desert, he remains.
