撒手不干

• There are wealthy gentlemen in england who drive four - horse passenger - coaches twenty or thirty miles on a daily line , in the summer , because the privilege costs them considerable money ; but if they were offered wages for the service , that would turn it into work and then they would resign
  英国有钱的绅士在夏季每天驾着四轮马拉客车沿着同样的路线走上二三十里，他们为这种特权竟花了很多钱。可是如果因此付钱给他们的话，那就把这桩事情变成了工作，他们就会撒手不干了。
