I have opted to live a life of complete honesty. So instead, I go out and drum up some business and draw cartoons. I even tell welfare how much I make! Oh, I'm tempted to get paid under the table. But even if I yielded to that temptation, big magazines are not going to get involved in some sticky situation. They keep my records, and that information goes right into the government's computer. Very high-profile.
我选择了过一种完全诚实的生活,
因此我不会那样做,而是四处找活,揽些画漫画的活.
我甚至还告诉福利机构我赚了多少钱!
哦,私下里领一笔钱当然对我挺有吸引力,
但即使我挡不住这种诱惑,我投稿的那些大杂志也不会去给自己惹麻烦.
他们会保留我的记录,而这些记录会直接进入政府的电脑.
真是态度鲜明,毫不含糊.
作为一名福利救济对象,我必须在社会工作者面前卑躬屈膝.
社会工作者心里知道,许多救济对象在欺骗他们,因此他们觉得,作为补偿,他们有权让救济对象向他们点头哈腰.我并不是故意感到忿忿不平.
大多数社会工作者刚开始时都是些大学毕业生,有理想,而且思想开明.
