smith 专八

A blacksmith once said to me, when…asked why her was not both blacksmith and whitesmith, "The smith that will meddle with all things may go shoe the gosling."

有一回，我问一个铁，为什么不同时兼做锡，我说：“样样都搞的结果将一无所成。”

It is impossible to separate so entirely the business of the grazier from that of the corn-farmer as the trade of the carpenter is commonly separated from that of the smith.

木的职业与铁的职业，通常是截然分开的，但畜牧者的业务与种稻者的业务，不能象前者那样完全分开。
