'你把它弄壞了！你讓我丟一輩子的人！你偷走的那幾塊寶石哪兒去了？'
'Stolen!' he cried.

'There are three missing. And you know where they are.
'這里有三塊綠玉不見了。你是知道它們在哪里的。
Must I call you a liar as well as a thief? Did I not see you trying to tear off another piece?'

'你必定要落在警察手里！'我起急敗壞半瘋狂似地喊著。
'I shall have this matter probed to the bottom.'

'You shall learn nothing from me,' said he with a passion such as I should not have thought was in his nature.
'你別想從我這里了解到任何情況。'我想不到他竟一反常態如此激動地說。
'If you choose to call the police, let the police find what they can.'
'如果你愿意叫警察，那么就讓警察去搜索好了！'"
