It did not occur to me then that you could have the supreme vice, shallowness. Indeed, itwas a real grief to me when I had to let youknow that I was obliged to reserve for familybusiness my first opportunity of receiving aletter: but my brother-in-law had written to meto say that if I would only write once to my wifeshe would, for my own sake and for ourchildren’s sake, take no action fordivorce. I feltmy duty was to do so. Setting aside otherreasons, I could not bear the idea of beingseparated from Cyril, that beautiful, loving,loveable child of mine, my friend of all friends,my companion beyond all companions, onesingle hair of whose little golden head shouldhave been dearer and of more value to me than,I will not merely say you from top to toe, butthe entire chrysolite of the wholeworld. was so indeed to me always,though I failed to understand it till too late.
【译本】
我那时没想到，你会有这一大恶——浮浅。我当时真的很伤心，但又不得不告诉你，第一次让我收信的机会，因为只能收一封，只好留给有关我家事的信。我妻子的兄弟来信说，只要我给她写一次信，她就会因为我和我们孩子的缘故，不兴讼离婚。我感到有责任这样做。其它理由不说，一想到要同西里尔分开我就受不了。我那漂亮、会疼人又招人疼的`孩子，我所有朋友中的朋友、我一切伙伴中的伙伴，他那小小脑袋满头金发中的一根， 对我来说都比，不用说从头到脚的你了，都比普天下的宝石还宝贵——确实一直都是这样的，只是等我明白时已太晚了。

【原著选段】
If you had any imagination inyou, you would know that there is not a singleperson who has been kind to me in my prison-life,down to the warder who may give me a goodmorningor a good-night that is not one of hisprescribed duties—down to the common policemenwho in their homely rough way strove to comfort meon my journeys to and fro from the BankruptcyCourt under conditions of terrible mentaldistress—down to the poor thief who, recognisingme as we tramped round the yard at Wandsworth,whispered to me in the hoarse prison-voice men getfrom long and compulsory silence: “I am sorry foryou; it is harder for the likes of you than it is for thelikes of us”—not one of them all, I say, the verymire from whose shoes you should not be proudto be allowed to kneel down and clean.
【朱纯深译本】
假如你还有一丁点想象力的话，你会懂得，在我囚禁生活中对我好的每一个人，下至在例行公务之外向我道一声“早安”或“晚安”的狱吏——下至普普通通的警察，在我心烦意乱被带着来回奔忙于破产法庭的途中，他们以那种朴实的、粗线条的方式尽力想安慰我——下至那个可怜的盗贼，当我们在瓦兹华斯院子里走步放风时，他认出我来，便用狱中人那长期被迫沉默而落下的沙哑嗓音，轻声对我说：“我替你难过，这日子对你们这种人比对我们要更难熬啊。”——我说，这些人一个个，要是允许你跪下来给他们擦去鞋上的污泥，你都该觉得脸上有光才是。
【
1、这段选文的结构比较复杂，其基本结构只有一个长句，即：
If you had any imagination in you, you would know that there is not a single person who has been kind to me in my prison-life,the very mire from whose shoes you should not be proud to be allowed to kneel down and clean.
假如你还有一丁点想象力的话，你会懂得，在我囚禁生活中对我好的每一个人，要是允许你跪下来给他们擦去鞋上的污泥，你都该觉得脸上有光才是。
而中间三个“down to”所引出的句子，都是在具体说明“person who has been kind to me in my prison-life”。
