[오늘 한 영어]
- The art of money getting.
- Unless a man enters upon the vocation intended for him by nature, and best suited to his peculiar genius, he cannot succeed. I am glad to believe that the majority of persons do find their right vocation. Yet we see many who have mistaken their calling, from the blacksmith up (or down) to the clergyman. You will see, for instance, that extraordinary linguist the "learned blacksmith," who ought to have been a teacher of languages; and you may have seen lawyers, doctors and clergymen who were better fitted by nature for an anvil or the lapstone.

- peculiar: (형) 이상한, 고유한, 특유한. (명) 기이한 특징, 특이한 점, 기벽, 특성
- anvil: (명) 모루
- lapstone: (명) 무릎돌
