WHEN going down the Tigris and Euphrates rivers many years ago with a party of English travelers I found myself under the direction of an old Arab guide whom we hired up at Bagdad, and I have often thought how that guide resembled our barbers in certain mental characteristics. He thought that it was not only his duty to guide us down those rivers, and do what he was paid for doing, but also to entertain us with stories curious and weird, ancient and modern, strange and familiar. Many of them I have forgotten, and I am glad I have, but there is one I shall never forget.英文原著 · 《Acres of Diamonds》
He did not turn and run. With God knows what terror knocking at his ribs, he trudged ahead to meet his fate, and lo! the grisly specter proved to be a friendly guide-post to show the way that he should walk in. Brother (for you are my kin that went with me to public school, in the life that you have lived since you first read the story of Harry and the Guide-post, has it been an idle tale, or have you, too, found that what we dreaded most, what seemed to us so terrible in the future has, after all, been a friendly guide-post, showing us the way that we should walk in?英文原著 · 《Back Home》
It must be so. And in supposing that they will be useful only if they are true guides to us of action-there we were also right? But when we said that a man cannot be a good guide unless he have knowledge (phrhonesis), this we were wrong. What do you mean by the word "right"? I will explain. If a man knew the way to Larisa, or anywhere else, and went to the place and led others thither, would he not be a right and good guide? Certainly. And a person who had a right opinion about the way, but had never been and did not know, might be a good guide also, might he not?英文原著 · 《Meno》
Sir Francis shook his fists, Passepartout was beside himself, and the guide gnashed his teeth with rage. The tranquil Fogg waited, without betraying any emotion. `We have nothing to do but to go away,' whispered Sir Francis. `Nothing but to go away,' echoed the guide. `Stop,' said Fogg. `I am only due at Allahabad to-morrow before noon. `But what can you hope to do?' asked Sir Francis. `In a few hours it will be daylight, and--'
`The chance which now seems lost may present itself at the last moment.'
Sir Francis would have liked to read Phileas Fogg's eyes.英文原著 · 《AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS》
Kiouni, also, must be disposed of. What should be done with the elephant, which had been so dearly purchased? Phileas Fogg had already determined this question. `Parsee,' said he to the guide, `you have been serviceable and devoted. I have paid for your service, but not for your devotion. Would you like to have this elephant? He is yours.'
The guide's eyes glistened. `Your honour is giving me a fortune!' cried he.英文原著 · 《AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS》
Still the girl made no reply. Her head sank forward and she breathed a trifle heavily. "Marjory," cried the professor, it is impossible that you should think so much of this man." He arose and went to his daughter. " Marjory, many wise children have been guided by foolish fathers, but we both suspect that no foolish child has ever been guided by a wise father. Let us change it. I present myself to you as a wise father. Follow my wishes in this affair and you will be at least happier than if you marry this wretched Coleman."英文原著 · 《Active Service》
