我瞧見許多老年人將自己的皺紋也揭了下來，有幾個年輕人則揭開自己的黃褐色皮膚。

There were very great heaps of red noses, large lips, and rusty teeth.

有好幾大堆紅鼻子、大嘴唇和稀疏的牙齒。

The truth of it is, I was surprised to see the greatest part of the mountain made up of bodily deformities.

事實上，我真正震驚的是看到最大的山一樣的東西，竟是由血淋淋的殘肢堆成的。

Observing one advancing toward the heap with a larger cargo than ordinary upon his back, I found, upon his near approach, that it was only a natural hump,

我注意到，有一個人身上的重物要比別人的多，朝那個山堆走去，走近一看我才發(fā)現(xiàn)他只不過是駝背而已，

which he disposed of with great joy of heart among this collection of human miseries.

置身于人類這些苦難之中，他滿心歡喜地忙著處理和收拾。

There were, likewise, distempers of all sorts, though I could not but observe that there were many more imaginary than real.

同樣，所有的東西都顯得異樣，盡管我不會看不出想象的要比實際的更多。

One little packet I could not but take notice of, which was a complication of all the diseases incident to human nature, and was in the hand of a great many fine people.

我注意到有一個很小的包裹，這是人類偶然生的所有疾病的一種并發(fā)癥，許多健康的人手上都拎著它。

This was called the spleen. But what most of all surprised me was, that there was not a single vice or folly thrown into the whole heap.

這個小包裹被稱為怨氣。但最令我驚訝的是，竟然沒有一種惡行或愚蠢的行為被扔到這堆東西里。

at which I was very much astonished, having concluded within myself that everyone would take this opportunity of getting rid of his passions, prejudices, and frailties.

尤其令我驚愕的是，我自己下了這樣一個結(jié)論，每個人都應(yīng)該把握住這個借此拋掉自己的情感、偏見和缺點的機會。
