Chapter 3: Work and Factory
第3章：工作与工厂
After my mother's death, my stepfather sent me to work in a factory in London. It was a dark, dirty place with long working hours and harsh conditions. There I met Mick Walker and Mealy Potatoes, who became my friends and taught me how to survive.
母亲去世后，继父送我去伦敦的一家工厂工作。那是一个黑暗肮脏的地方，工作时间长，条件艰苦。在那里我遇到了米克·沃克和米利·波特托斯，他们成了我的朋友，教我如何生存。
Despite the hardship, these friendships gave me comfort and hope. During this difficult time, I desperately missed my education. I still had dreams of becoming a learned man, but the reality of factory work seemed to crush those dreams. However, I refused to give up completely and read whenever I could.
尽管生活艰苦，这些友谊给了我安慰和希望。在这段困难时期，我渴望继续接受教育。我仍然梦想成为一个有学问的人，但工厂工作的现实似乎粉碎了那些梦想。不过，我拒绝完全放弃，只要有时间就会阅读。
