"You must back down to the next gate," said the farmer. "Back yourself," said Kink. "Your load's lighter than mine."
"But it's my land you're on," said the farmer. "It's a public road," said Kink. It looked as though they might stay there for ever, but suddenly the farmer began to laugh. "Why, you're not gipsies," he said. "I believe you're Avories."
"That's so," said Kink. "Well, I'm blessed!" the farmer cried.英文原著 · 《The Slowcoach》
He was leaning on his rake, and look- ing perplexed and troubled. Carl paused to rest, and as he looked over the rail fence, attracted the attention of the farmer. "I say, young feller, where are you goin'?" he asked. "I don't know--exactly."
"You don't know where you are goin'?" repeated the farmer, in surprise. Carl laughed. "I am going out in the world to seek my fortune," he said. "You be? Would you like a job?" asked the farmer, eagerly.英文原著 · 《Driven From Home》
"But," I shall be objected to, "what about the farmers' uprisings over half France, the raids of the Army upon the farmers, the wholesale imprisonment and transportation of farmers?"英文原著 · 《The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte》
Committed for trial, she demanded that the watch should be left in the constable's keeping, and, pleading not guilty when the sessions came round, insisted that her watch and the farmer's were not the same. The farmer, anxious to acknowledge his property, demanded the constable to deliver the watch, that it might be sworn to in open court; and when the constable put his hand to his pocket the only piece of damning evidence had vanished, stolen by the nimble fingers of one of Moll's officers.英文原著 · 《A Book of Scoundrels》

The farmers up and down the shore were as much fishermen as farmers; they were as familiar with the Grand Banks of Newfoundland as they were with their own potato-fields.

In all these phrases, this is a German usage, even though it is not the Latin or Greek usage. It is the nature of the German tongue to add "allein" in order that "nicht" or "kein" may be clearer and more complete. To be sure, I can also say "The farmer brings grain and no (kein) money, but the words "kein money" do not sound as full and clear as if I were to say, "the farmer brings allein grain and kein money."
