我第一次来柏林是十四年前即一九二一年十二月.从一九二一年以后我便每年来柏林一次,有时候逗留几个月,有时候逗留几个星期.但是我从未见过德国今日这样悲观的情景,甚至在最坏最贫困的通货膨胀时期也没有这样过.从前德国各阶层的人民以为他们的悲观可以用奋斗来克服,乐观可以用意志的努力来得到,但目前的现实巳把这种幻想打破.长久的悽惨的岁月已在他们眼前展开了.改善已经不能希望了.官方的出版物常以忠实而令人欢迎
My first visit to Berlin was fourteen years ago, December 1921. From 1921 onwards, I came to Berlin once a year, sometimes for months, sometimes for several weeks. I have never seen such a pessimistic scenario in Germany today, even in the worst and poorest periods of inflation, when people in all walks of life in Germany thought that their pessimism could be overcome by struggle, and optimism could be achieved by willpower However, the current reality has broken this illusion, and long, miserable years have begun before them. Improvement can not be expected. Official publications are often welcomed with loyalty
