教父经典台词英文

千百年来，只要凭卖力气，流汗水换饭吃，任何职业都是值得尊敬

的。< /p>

the don always taught that when a man was generous, he must

show the generosity as personal. he gave the baker a di nobili

cigar and a glass of yellow strega and put his hand on the men

s shoulder to urge him on. that was the mark of the don s

humanity. he knew from bitter experience what courage it took

to ask a favor from a fellow man.

an emotional generosity.

the don helped those in misfortune whose misfortune he had

partly created. not perhaps out of cunning or planning but

because of his variety of interests or perhaps because of the
