日上三竿

When the sun rose brightly-as it did-it gilded thousands upon thousands of upturned faces, so inexpressibly odious in their brutal mirth or callousness, that a man had cause to feel ashamed of the shape he wore, and to shrink from himself, as fashioned in the image of the Devil.

日上三竿，太阳高照，将成千上万张仰起的面孔镀上金色，一张张脸或无情欢笑、或面无表情，都可恶到难以言表。这样的人生而为人，理应感到羞耻，既然被塑成魔鬼的样子，就该褪下人形的外衣。
