He shows no interest either in you or in the goods he 39 to sell. Yet possibly the very clerk who is now so indifferent(冷漠的) began his career with hope and 40 . The daily work was too much for him; the newness disappears slowly; his only pleasures were found outside of working hours; and he saw younger clerks who had more enthusiasm in their work promoted over him. He became sour. That was the last stage. His usefulness was over.
