• But that isn't a good word: he didn't tell them to write on slates. 乔治·艾略特. 米德尔马契.
• Who could live to gaze from day to day on bricks and slates who had once felt the influence of a scene like this? 查尔斯·狄更斯. 匹克威克外传.
• A long room with three long rows of desks, and six of forms, and bristling all round with pegs for hats and slates. 查尔斯·狄更斯. 大卫·科波菲尔.
