Man is the only Slave. And he is the only animal who enslaves. He has always been a slave in one form or another, and has always held other slaves in bondage under him in one way or another. In our day he is always some man's slave for wages, and does that man's work; and this slave has other slaves under him for minor wages, and they do his work. The higher animals are the only ones who exclusively do their own work and provide their own living.
人是唯一的奴隶，也是唯一能奴役他人的动物。他一直以某种方式充当奴隶，同时又总是以某种方式去奴役他人。在我们这个时代，他一直为了挣工资而做别人的奴隶，为别人打工，而这个奴隶又管辖其他工资更加微薄的奴隶，这些奴隶再为他做工。高级动物是唯一只干自己的活，自食其力的动物。
Man is the only Patriot. He sets himself apart in his own country, under his own flag, and sneers at the other nations, keeps multitudinous uniformed assassins on hand at heavy expense to grab slices of other people's countries, and keeps them from grabbing slices of his and in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and—works for "the universal brotherhood of man"—with his mouth.
人是唯一的爱国者。他在自己的国家中自诩与众不同，独树一帜，嘲笑其他的国 家。他不惜花费重金，屯兵无数，就是为了侵占他国的土地，防止他人抢夺自己国家的土地。在征战扩张之余，他洗去沾满鲜血的双手，大肆宣扬“全世界人类的同胞之情”——当然只是在口头上罢了。
