I have visited many countries, and have been in cities without number, yet never did I enter a town which could not produce ten or twelve of those little great men; all fancying themselves known to the rest of the world, and complimenting each other upon their extensive reputation.
我造访过诸多国家， 到过无数城市。 然而所待过的城镇没一处不冒出十一二个这类小小伟人， 个个自视名震寰宇， 还彼此恭维、 互抬身价。
