上帝保佑您!啐!繼續(xù)說(shuō)下去。嗯，我是個(gè)窮光蛋——現(xiàn)在我必須做個(gè)窮人，或者說(shuō)我絕對(duì)不會(huì)繼續(xù)說(shuō)下去的。

Well, get on, be a poor man. I am a poor man, and I argue with you, and convince you, you are wrong;

我說(shuō)的是繼續(xù)做個(gè)窮人。我是個(gè)窮人，我與您爭(zhēng)論，企圖讓您相信自己錯(cuò)了;

then you call yourself a blockhead, and I am of your opinion: now, that's no flattery.

然后您就會(huì)管自己叫榆木腦袋了，我贊同您的看法?現(xiàn)在，這不是奉承。

Why, no; but when a man's of the same opinion with me, he puts an end to the argument, and that puts an end to the conversation,

為什么，不。可是當(dāng)有人與我看法相同時(shí)，他就會(huì)停止?fàn)幷摚簿褪钦f(shuō)沒(méi)有必要再談下去了，

and so I hate him for that. But where's my nephew Frederic? Been out these two hours.

因此我討厭他附和我。我侄子弗雷德里克在哪兒?已經(jīng)出去兩個(gè)鐘頭了。

An undutiful cub! Only arrived from Russia last night, and though I told him to stay at home till I rose,

一個(gè)不孝的年輕人!他昨天剛從俄國(guó)回來(lái)，我明明告訴過(guò)他要等我起床后再出去的，

he's scampering over the fields like a Calmuck Tartar. He's a fine fellow.

他像卡爾馬克·韃靼一樣總喜歡到野外撒歡兒。他是個(gè)很棒的小伙子。

He has a touch of our family. Don't you think he is a little like me, Humphrey?

他是我們家族的另類(lèi)。你不覺(jué)得他有點(diǎn)像我嗎，亨弗萊?

No, not a bit; you are as ugly an old man as ever I clapped my eyes on.

不，一點(diǎn)也不像。您是我見(jiàn)過(guò)得最丑惡的老頭兒。

Now that's plaguy impudent, but there's no flattery in it, and it keeps up the independence of argument.

現(xiàn)在流行粗魯無(wú)禮，不過(guò)你的話里倒是沒(méi)有阿諛?lè)畛校３至藸?zhēng)論的獨(dú)立性。

His father, my brother Job, is of as tame a spirit—Humphrey, you remember my brother Job?

他父親，也就是我哥哥約伯，性情太溫順——亨弗萊，你還記得我哥哥約伯嗎?

Yes, you drove him to Russia five and twenty years ago.

當(dāng)然記得，二十五年前您就把他趕到俄國(guó)去了。
