And his iron will can be divined from the seeing how he is made, so very thickset and squat, with a square head and no neck, with short, thick hands, and coarse voice. He studies even on scraps of newspaper, and on theatre bills, and every time that he has ten soldi, he buys a book; he has already collected a little library, and in a moment of good humor he allowed the promise to slip from his mouth that he would take me home and show it to me. He speaks to no one, he plays with no one, he is always on hand, on his bench, with his fists pressed to his temples, firm as a rock, listening to the teacher. How he must have toiled, poor Stardi! The master said to him this morning, although he was impatient and in a bad humor, when he bestowed the medals:

斯带地的容貌,一看就知道他有坚忍心的:身子壮而矮,头形方方的像没有项颈,手短而且大,喉音低粗。不论是破报纸,是剧场的广告,他都拿来读熟。只要有一角钱,就立刻去买书,据说自己已设了一个小图书馆,邀我去看看呢。他不和谁闲谈,也不和难游戏,在学校里上课时候,只把两拳摆在双颊上,岩石样坐着听先生的话。他得到第二名不知费了多少力呢!可怜!先生今天样子虽很不高兴,但是把赏牌交给斯带地的时候,却这样说:

"Bravo, Stardi! he who endures, conquers."

“斯带地!难为你!这就是所谓精神一到何事不成了。”

But the latter did not appear in the least puffed up with pride--he did not smile; and no sooner had he returned to his seat, with the medal, than he planted his fists on his temples again, and became more motionless and more attentive than before. But the finest thing happened when he went out of school; for his father, a blood-letter, as big and squat as himself, with a huge face and a huge voice, was there waiting for him. He had not expected this medal, and he was not willing to believe in it, so that it was necessary for the master to reassure him, and then he began to laugh heartily, and tapped his son on the back of the neck, saying energetically, "Bravo! good! my dear pumpkin; you'll do!" and he stared at him, astonished and smiling. And all the boys around him smiled too, except Stardi. He was already ruminating the lesson for to-morrow morning in that huge head of his.

斯带地听了并不表示得意,也没有微笑,回到座位上,比前更认真地听讲。最有趣的是放课的时候:斯带地的父亲到学校大门口来接,父亲是做针医的,和他儿子一样,也是个矮身方脸、喉音粗大的人。他不相信自己的儿子居然会得赏牌,等先生出来和他说了,才哈哈地笑了拍着儿子的肩头,用了力说:“好的,好的,竟看你不出,你将来会有希望呢!”我们听了都笑,斯带他却连微笑都没有,只是抱了那大大的头,复习他明日的功课。
