因为最好在一个人的脚上死，+n活在膝盖上，以胜利和崇高的狂热反驳。我想你以前听说过。但是我恐怕你会向后。生活在一个人的脚上比死在膝盖上更好。
(Because it's better to die on one's feet that+n live on one's knees, Nately retorted with triumphant and lofty convivtion. I guess you've heard that saying before.Yes, I certainly have, mused the treacherous old man, smiling again. But I'm afraid you have it backward. It is better to live on one's feet than die on one's knees.)
