- Thrown out of his honourable employment in england , through too much unsuccessful hard swearing there - not because he was not wanted there : our english reasons for vaunting our superiority to secrecy and spies are of very modern date - he knew that he had crossed the channel , and accepted service in france : first , as a tempter and an eavesdropper among his own countrymen there : gradually , as a tempter and an eavesdropper among the natives
他在英国丢掉了那份体面的差使是因为多次咬着牙作伪证失败，而不是因为那儿不需要伪证。我们英国人夸耀自己鄙视干涉隐私和密探行当的种种根据，其实是新近才出现的。巴萨心里明白，他跨过海峡到法国来当差，起初是在自己的侨胞之间做套诱和窃听的工作，后来逐渐干到法国人当中去了。
