" " I give a blue ticket and a bladder that I got at the slaughter–house." " Where'd you get the blue ticket?

” “我给了一张蓝票和我在屠宰场得到的膀胱。” “你从哪里弄来的蓝票？

However, they worried through, and each got his reward—in small blue tickets, each with a passage of Scripture on it; each blue ticket was pay for two verses of the recitation.

然而，他们还是挺过来了，每个人都得到了奖赏——蓝色的小票，每张票上都有一段经文；每张蓝色票都是背诵两节经文的费用。

Ten blue tickets equalled a red one, and could be exchanged for it; ten red tickets equalled a yellow one; for ten yellow tickets the superintendent gave a very plainly bound Bible (worth forty cents in those easy times) to the pupil.

十张蓝票等于一张红票，可以兑换；十张红票等于一张黄票；为了十张黄票，学监给了学生一本装订很朴素的圣经（在那个轻松的时代价值四十美分）。
