John Reed was a schoolboy of fourteen years old; four years older than I, for I was but ten: large and stout for his age, with a dingy and unwholesome skin; thick lineaments in a spacious visage, heavy limbs and large extremities.

约翰·里德是个十四岁的小学生； 比我大四岁， 因为我当时才十岁：比他的年龄大而且结实， 皮肤又脏又不健康； 宽阔的面容、粗壮的四肢和粗壮的四肢。
