A cold shudder ran over the lazy man's body, and he would have got off his horrid animal then and there, but just then the clock struck once more. It was the first of the long, slow strokes that mark mid- night! The man grew frantic when he heard it. He drove his heels into the snail's sides, to make him hurry. Instantly, the snail drew in his head, curled up in his shell, and left the lazy man sitting in a heap on the ground!英文原著 · 《How To Tell Stories To Children》
"Well," said my uncle, "I will tell you. Among the tribes, some are naturally lazy. The cinnamon bear is the lazy one of his tribe. He alone sleeps out of doors in the winter and because he has not a warm bed, he is soon hungry. Sometimes he lives in the hollow trunk of a tree, where he has made a bed of dry grass; but when the night is very cold, like to-night, he has to move about to keep himself from freezing and as he prowls around, he gets hungry."英文原著 · 《Indian Boyhood》
"Under a great spruce-tree--where the ground was soft and dry, OLD-man slept. The joy that thrilled creation disturbed him not, although the Sun was near. The bird-people looked at the sleeper in wonder, but the Pine squirrel climbed the great spruce-tree with a pine-cone in his mouth. Quickly he ran out on the limb that spread over OLD-man, and dropped the cone on the sleeper's face. Then he scolded OLD-man, saying: 'Get up--get up--lazy one--lazy one--get up--get up.'英文原著 · 《Indian Why Stories》
Grace makes everything so comfortable for him . ."
Grace smiled, well pleased. "It's Paul's devotion to his parish . ." she said in calm, happy, self-assured voice, as though she'd never had a surprise in her life. "I'm sure it isn't either of those things," thought Maggie to herself. "He's lazy."
Lazy but nice. She had never seen a clergyman so healthy, so happy so clean and so kind. She smiled across the table at him.英文原著 · 《The Captives》
But I want to go out at once," Granet protested. Matthew Nichols removed his pipe from his mouth and spat upon the ground thoughtfully. "I doubt whether you'll get Job Rowsell to shift before mid-day. I'm none so sure he'll go out at all with this nor-wester blowing."
"What's the matter with him?" Granet asked. "Is he lazy?"
The man who as yet had scarcely spoken, swung round on his heel. "He's no lazy, sir," he said. "That's not the right word. But he's come into money some way or other, Job Rowsell has.英文原著 · 《The Kingdom of the Blind》
``Yes, I think I've improved,'' said Mrs. Belloc. ``Nothing to scream about--but worth while. That's what we're alive for--to improve--isn't it? I've no patience with people who slide back, or don't get on-- people who get less and less as they grow older. The trouble with them is they're vain, satisfied with themselves as they are, and lazy. Most women are too lazy to live. They'll only fix up to catch a man.''英文原著 · 《The Price She Paid》
