At that time everybody in England agreed that London was a wonderful city. So I was surprised to find it rather ugly, with narrow dirty streets, and people crowded into tiny houses. I was frightened by its huge size. At Smithfield, the meat market, I was shocked by the dirt and blood everywhere. Then I came to Newgate Prison, where a drunk old man showed me the place where prisoners were hanged, and told me excitedly that four men would die there tomorrow. I was disgusted by this news. My first impression of London could not have been worse. 去书内

    在那时,英国的每个人都称赞伦敦是一座美妙的城市。所以,当我发现这座城市丑陋不堪、街道狭窄肮脏、人们拥挤在窄小的房子里时,我很吃惊。我被它的宽大吓呆了。在一个叫史密斯菲尔德的肉市场,随处可见的污物和血迹让我毛骨悚然。然后,我来到新门监狱,那儿一个喝得醉熏熏的老人把绞首架的地方指给我看,并兴奋地告诉我,明天那儿将有4个人要被处死。这个消息让我生厌。我对伦敦的第一印象糟糕透顶。
