Abstract

Many people were eliminated from my orbit by virtue of the fact that they had more money than I did, which placed me, in my own eyes, in the humiliating role of a free-loader; and other people were eliminated by virtue of the fact that they enjoyed their poverty, shrilly insisting that this wretched round of hotel rooms, bad food, humiliating concierges, and unpaid bills was the Great Adventure. It couldn’t, however, for me, end soon enough, this Great Adventure. . . . (103)

许多人被排除在我的轨道之外,因为他们比我有钱,在我自己看来,这让我成为了一个免费装载者的耻辱角色;而其他人则因为享受贫困而被淘汰,他们尖锐地坚称,这一轮糟糕的酒店房间、糟糕的食物、羞辱性的门房和未付的账单就是大冒险。然而,对我来说,这场伟大的冒险不会很快结束。(103)
