我曾见他在一张长凳上坐过一整天，一点东西都没进嘴，到了晚上我请他吃饭——只须走两段街就到了馆子，他却回答说：‘太麻烦，老兄，给我买盒烟就行了！

I've seen him sit all day on a bench and never a bite pass his lips, and in the evening, when I invited him to dinner - restaurant two blocks away - have him say, 'Too much trouble, old man.

尽管这样，他们还是给了我一根烟。我只好沿着路向前走，希望能找到吃的。

They gave me a cigarette, though, and I hiked down the road to find something to eat.
