I took notice in particular of a very profligate fellow, who, I did not question, came loaden with his crimes,
我特別注意到有一個非常放蕩的家伙，我一點也不懷疑此人罪惡累累，
but upon searching into his bundle, I found that instead of throwing his guilt from him, he had only laid down his memory.
可是待我上前查看他的包裹，我發現與將他的罪行扔到大堆里恰恰相反的是，他只是將自己的記憶放下來。
He was followed by another worthless rogue, who flung away his modesty instead of his ignorance.
緊隨著他的是一個不足道的無賴，他扔掉的是謙遜，而不是無知。
When the whole race of mankind had thus cast their burdens, the phantom which had been so busy on this occasion,
當全體人類一一卸下背上的重負時，在這個場合一直忙得不可開交的幽靈，
seeing me an idle spectator of what passed, approached toward me.
見我就像一位懶惰的旁觀者，朝我走過來。
I grew uneasy at her presence, when, of a sudden, she held her magnifying glass full before my eyes,
一見她，我愈發不舒服，突然，她將手上滿滿一大杯東西舉到我眼前，
I no sooner saw my face in it, but was startled at the shortness of it, which now appeared to me in its utmost aggravation.
剎那間，我見自己的臉裝進了杯里，不過我被里面空間之短小給驚呆了，現在我覺得情形愈發嚴重。
The immoderate breadth of the features made me very much out of humor with my own countenance, upon which I threw it from me like a mask.
這只大杯子不適宜的寬度令我頓生滑稽之感，于是我把它像面具似的推開。
It happened very luckily that one who stood by me had just before thrown down his visage, which, it seems, was too long for him.
非常幸運的是，站在我旁邊的那人剛剛扔掉他的臉，可是臉似乎太長了。
It was, indeed, extended to a most shameful length. I believe the very chin was, modestly speaking, as long as my whole face.
確實，那張臉被拉抻到了不體面的長度。我覺得那臉雖然長可是很薄，謙虛地講，薄到與我整個臉一樣長的程度。
