If I might embrace him once! O, good citizens, if you would have so much compassion ⁷ for us!”,There was but a gaoler left, along with two of the four men who had taken him last night, and Barsad.

We know now, the natural antipathy ¹¹ you strove against, and conquered, for her dear sake. We thank you with all our hearts, and all our love and duty. Heaven be with you! ”,A country ruled by an iron hand is doomed to suffer. 被铁腕人物统治的国家定会遭受不幸的。,Business depression usually causes misery among the working class.商业不景气常使工薪阶层受苦 。
