The little mason came today.

He was entirely dressed in the cast-off clothes of his father, which were still white with lime and plaster.

My father was even more anxious than I that he should come. How much pleasure he gives us!

We went to play with bits of wood:

the little mason possessed an extraordinary skill at making towers and bridges, which seemed to stand as though by miracle.

Between one tower and another he told me about his family:

they live in a garret; his father goes to the evening school to learn to read, and his mother is a washerwoman.

And they must love him, of course, for he was clad like a poor boy, but he was well protected from the cold, with neatly mended clothes.

At four o'clock we ate some bread and cheese, as we sat on the sofa;

小泥瓦匠今天来了。

他完全穿着他父亲的旧衣服，上面还涂着石灰和灰泥。

我父亲比我更急着要他来。他给了我们多大的快乐！

我们去玩木头碎片：

小泥瓦匠有一种非凡的制作塔和桥的技能，这些塔和桥仿佛奇迹般矗立着。

在一座塔和另一座塔之间，他告诉我他的家庭：

他们住在阁楼里；他父亲上夜校学读书，母亲是洗衣妇。

当然，他们一定爱他，因为他穿得像个可怜的孩子，但他却很好地御寒，衣服缝得整整齐齐。

四点钟我们坐在沙发上吃了些面包和奶酪

and when we rose, I do not know why, but my father did not wish me to brush off the back, which the little mason had spotted with plaster from his clothes.

My father restrained my hand.

While we were playing, the little mason lost a button from his clothes, and my mother sewed it on He grew quite red, and began to watch her sew in perfect amazement.

After the little mason had left, my father told me the following:

"Do you know, my son, why I did not wish you to wipe off the sofa?

Because to wipe it while your companion was looking on would have been almost the same as giving a reproof to him for having soiled it.

And this was not well, in the first place, because he did not do it intentionally,

and in the next, because he did it with the clothes of his father, who had covered them with plaster while at work;

and what is contracted while at work is not dirt; it is dust, lime, varnish, whatever you like, but it is not dirt.

Labor does not engender dirt. Never say of a laborer coming from his work, 'He is filthy.'

You should say, 'He has on his clothes the signs, the traces, of his toil.'

Remember this. And you must love the little mason, first, because he is your classmate; and next, because he is the son of a workingman."

他脸红了，开始惊奇地看着她缝衣服。

小泥瓦匠走后，我父亲告诉我如下：

“你知道吗，我儿子，为什么我不希望你把沙发擦干净？

因为当你的同伴在看的时候把它擦干净，几乎等于责备他弄脏了它。

这不好，首先，因为他不是故意的，

第二次，因为他是用他父亲的衣服做的，他父亲在工作的时候用灰泥裹着衣服；

工作时收缩的不是污垢，而是灰尘、石灰、清漆，随便你喜欢什么，但不是污垢。

劳动不会产生污垢。永远不要说一个工人从工作中出来，“他是肮脏的。”

你应该说，他衣服上有辛劳的痕迹

记住这个。你一定要爱小马森，首先，因为他是你的同学；其次，因为他是一个工人的儿子。”

阅读笔记

㈠同办公室的同事争吵，明明不关你的事儿，你却比谁都生气，怒吼着叫他们停止。因为，它唤起了你小时候父母常常争吵的记忆。

刚刚认识的男性朋友，对你温柔备至，你却充满了防御和厌弃。因为，曾经也有一个这样对你好的人，却伤你最深。

朋友只是找你帮个简单的忙，你却又气又恼。因为，曾经你是家里最容易被忽略的孩子，所有的琐事却由你承担。

愤怒，很多时候，是了解自己的一扇窗，快乐可以伪装，孤独焦虑可被粉饰，唯有愤怒，其刹那展现的喷涌，最真实，也最鲜活。

我们常常希望控制愤怒、改变愤怒，但控制的前提，是了解。

㈡陀螺在快速地旋转着的时候，被抽打着无暇他顾的时候，是没法思考自己从哪里来、到哪里去、为何而旋转的。

一枚陀螺的勇气，源自它所经历的疼痛。同样，它的释然，也来自对过往深切的理解和深情的拥抱。

㈢说到底，人们不过都是出来打工的。被社会毒打越多，越觉得最好的福利不过是工作之余少一点勉强和伪装，多一点被尊重的个人时间和自由。
