你一定告訴他,如果他再騷擾你,畢蒂,我會隨時在這里的,我不打算離開可憐孤獨的喬。
Biddy said nothing.Come,Biddy,what do you mean by this silence?
畢蒂沒有言語。嘿,畢蒂,你沉默不語,什么意思?
Are you quite sure,then,that you will come to see him? Oh Biddy!I said sadly.This really is a bad side to your character!
那么,你能保證常來看他嗎?噢,畢蒂!我傷心地說,這正是你性格不好的一面,
Don't say any more!And that evening I thought how unkind,how unjust,Biddy was to me.
不要再說了!那天晚上,我想畢蒂對我是多么不友好,多么不公道。
Next morning I looked in at the forge before leaving,and said goodbye to Joe,who was already hard at work.I shall be back to see you soon,Joe!
第二天早晨,走之前,我向鐵匠鋪里張望,向已經在拚命干活的喬告別。
Never too soon,sir,said Joe,and never too often,Pip!
我會很快回來看你,喬!用不著很快的,先生,喬說,用不著經常的,匹普!
As I walked away,I think I knew that I would not go back.Biddy was right.
當我離開時,我想我知道我不會回來的,畢蒂的看法完全正確。
In London,I did some serious thinking.I could see that my character had not improved since I had heard about my expectations.

I was spending far too much money.What was worse,I was a bad influence on Herbert,who was also spending too much.
我在大把大把地花鈔票,這種做法是很壞的,我對赫伯特產生了不好的影響,他也是大把地花錢。

我會為他支付賬單的,但是,他聽到這個建議很得意。
I had hoped that on my twenty-first birthday I would discover more about my future,

but Mr Jaggers explained that he could not give me any more information,except that from now on I would have five hundred pounds a year to spend as I liked.
可是賈格斯先生解釋說從現在除了我一年會有500英鎊的花消外,他不能給我更多的信息。

關于《遠大前程》如果康生選擇和老處女結婚,他們就把這事捅出去,康生就會失去老處女的信任和財產,一無所有。所以康生只好屈服。
