For common gifts, necessity makes pertinence and beauty every day, and one is glad when an imperative leaves him no option: since if the man at the door has no shoes, you have not to consider whether you could procure him a paint-box. And it is always pleasing to see a man eat bread, or drink water, in the house or out of doors, so it is always a great satisfaction to supply these first wants. Necessity does everything well. In our condition or universal dependence it seem heroic to let the petitioner be the judge of his necessity, and to give all that is asked, though at great inconvenience. If it be a fantastic desire, it is better to leave to others the office of punishing him. I can think of many parts I should prefer playing to that of the Furies (复仇三女神). Next to things of necessity, the rule for a gift, which one of my friends prescribed, is that we might convey to some person that which properly belonged to his character, and was easily associated with him in thought. But our tokens of compliment and love are for the most part barbarous. Rings and other jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts. The only gift is a portion of yourself. You must bleed for me. Therefore the poet brings him poem; the shepherd, his lamb; the farmer, corn; the miner, a gem; the sailor, coral and shells; the girl, a handkerchief of her own sewing. This is right and pleasing, for it restores society in so far to the primary basis, when a man’s biography is conveyed in his gift, and every man’s wealth is an index of his merit. But it is a cold lifeless business when you go to the shops to buy me something which does not represent your life and talent, but a goldsmith’s. This is fit for kings, and rich men who represent kings, and a false state of property, to make presents of gold and silver stuffs, as a kind of symbolical sin-offering, or payment of blackmail.
Among the following behaviors, which may be not treated as being heroic when we are faced with the petitioner?
选项
A、To fulfill his primary needs when you are not available for those requirements.
B、To grant him whatever is requested.
C、Always being pleasing to supply his first wants.
D、To let him have a fantastic desire.
答案
D
解析
文章第四句指出“…it seem heroic to let the petitioner be the judge of his necessity,to give all that is asked,though at great inconvenience”,即让请求者决定自己的迫切需求,即便十分不便,也给予请求者要求的所有东西,这似乎是非常英勇的行为。由此可知前三个选项表达意思与之相符。D项“让请求者产生不切实际的渴望”与文章第五句内容相悖。
