"If you think so, you must have a strange opinion of me;
“要是你這樣想，你準對我抱有成見了，
you must regard me as a plotting profligate
你一定認為我是一個詭計多端的浪子
a base and low rake who has been simulating disinterested love in order to draw you into a snare deliberately laid,
低俗下賤的惡棍，煽起沒有真情的愛，把你拉進預先設置好的圈套，
and strip you of honour and rob you of self-respect.
剝奪你的名譽，打消你的自尊。
What do you say to that?
你對這有什么看法？
I see you can say nothing in the first place, you are faint still, and have enough to do to draw your breath;
我看你無話可說，首先你身子依然虛弱，還得花好些工夫才能喘過氣來；
in the second place, you cannot yet accustom yourself to accuse and revile me,
其次，你還不習慣于指控我，辱罵我；
and besides, the flood-gates of tears are opened, and they would rush out if you spoke much;
此外眼淚的閘門大開著，要是你說得太多，淚水會奔涌而出，
and you have no desire to expostulate, to upbraid, to make a scene:
你沒有心思來勸說，來責備，來大鬧一場。
you are thinking how to act -- talking you consider is of no use. I know you -- I am on my guard."
你在思索著怎樣來行動--你認為空談無濟于事。我知道你--我戒備著?！?/div>
"Sir, I do not wish to act against you," I said; and my unsteady voice warned me to curtail my sentence.
“先生，我不想與你作對，”我說，我那發抖的嗓音警告我要把話縮短。
