A Dog's Eye View of ManIf man has benefited
immeasurably
by his association with the dog, what, you may ask, has the dog got out of it?
如果說人類因與狗的相處而受益
無窮 (immeasurably)
，那麼你可能會問，它從中得到了什麼？
His
scroll
has, of course, been heavily charged with punishments: he has known the
muzzle
, the
leash
and the
tether
; he has suffered the
indignities
of the
show bench
, and the
tin can
on the tail, the ribbon in the hair;
scroll 原有「卷軸」的意思，在這裡可以理解是狗狗的「人生紀錄」
indignities 指「侮辱」或「屈辱」的行為或經歷。文中指狗狗被迫站在展示臺上、尾巴被綁錫罐，毛髮上被綁絲帶的屈辱。
牠的一生中免不了各種懲罰——
嘴套 (muzzle)
、
牽繩 (leash)
、
鏈條 (tether)
，這些東西從來沒少見過。還得忍受各種羞辱：被擺上
展示台 (show bench)
供人評頭論足，尾巴上被綁上破爛
鐵罐 (tin can)
，被強行綁上粉紅小
蝴蝶結 (ribbon)
。
his love life with the other sex of his species has been
regulated
by the
frigid hand of authority
, his
digestion
ruined by the
macaroons
and
marshmallows
of
doting
women.
frigid hand of authority
doting 「溺愛、過度寵愛」
與異性談戀愛這種天經地義的事，也受到人類的限制。它的消化系統還要承受這些「寵愛」它的貴婦餵來的
馬卡龍 (macaroons)
和
棉花糖 (marshmallows)
。
