官吏

Meanings

• 私わたしの友人ゆうじんに大学だいがくを卒業そつぎょうして立派りっぱな官吏かんりとなっておる者ものがある。ある時ときこの人ひとが私わたしに曰のたまうに、僕ぼくは学校がっこうに於おいてて教きょうったことは何なにも役やくに立たたなかった、しかし少すこしばかり学まなんだ哲学てつがくが僕ぼくに非常ひじょうな利益りえきを与あたえたと。

  I have one of my friends who graduated from university and became a fine public servant. Once he told me that what he had learned from school had been useless. However, what little philosophy he had learned proved to be of great benefit.
