      اِعْتِبَارَاتٌ غَبِيَّةٌ وَوَهْمِيَّةٌ مَنَعَتْنِي مِنِ ٱقْتِنَاءِ سَيَّارَةٍ رَشِيقَةٍ مِنْ أَحْدَثِ ٱلْمُودِيلَاتِ. كُنْتُ أَخْشَى مِنَ ٱلْقِيلِ وَٱلْقَالِ، وَأَنْ أُتَّهَمَ بِأَنَّنِي بَدَّلْتُ جِلْدِي. حَسَاسِيَّتِي ٱلْمُفْرِطَةُ مِنْ أَنْ تَظْهَرَ آثَارُ ٱلنِّعْمَةِ عَلَيَّ لَا مَعْنَى لَهَا، وَالِدِي ٱلشُّيُوعِيُّ ٱلْمُتَزَمِّتُ تُوُفِّيَ، وَٱلْمُجْتَمَعُ تَغَيَّرَتْ أَفْكَارُهُ كَثِيرًا، []

      Stupid and delirious considerations held me back from getting some elegant automobile of the newest model. I had fear of gossips and hearsay, of rumors being noised about, of being accused of shedding my skin. My hypersensitivity to having apparent signs and evidences of luxury had no meaning: my staunch communist father was gone, and the ideas of this society had changed much.
