Have not I the most reason to complain, when I see these very YAHOOS carried by HOUYHNHNMS in a vehicle, as if they were brutes, and those the rational creatures?
Разве не достаточно у меня оснований сокрушаться при виде того, как эти самые еху разъезжают на гуигнгнмах, как если бы они были разумными существами, а гуигнгнмы - бессмысленными тварями.
