就在巴特比光临之前的一段时间里,我已经雇用了两个人任抄写员,一个有出息的孩子当听差。
At the period just preceding the advent of Bartleby, I had two persons as copyists in my employment, and a promising lad as an office-boy.
另一方面,假如你的孩子认为你觉得他不会有大的出息时,他也开始有同样的看法,并且降低期望以适应你的看法。
On the other hand, if your child thinks you feel he can't accomplish much on his own, he will begin to share your opinion and lower his expectations to accommodate your view.
过去,人们经常让有出息的男孩子从师学徒好多年。
It used to be usual to bind out promising boys for many years.
