I’m a stickler for political correctness, as you know, but whoever decided we’re all equal needs punching. If we were, you wouldn’t be in Slough House touching your toes when I tell you, while the cool kids over at Regent’s Park are saving the world.正如你们所知,我是政治正确的坚定支持者,但无论是谁认我们是平等的,都是欠揍。如果我们真的是平等的,那你们就不会窝在斯劳屋,按照我的指令抠脚;而摄政公园那群光鲜亮丽的小朋友们却忙着拯救世界了。[……略]And if we let you help them out, you’d doubtless end up doing the only thing you’ve ever proved yourself good at, which is making a bad situation worse.而如果我们让你们帮忙,那么毫无疑问,你们唯一能做的将是你们最擅长的,那就是帮倒忙。
