"I am not aware," said Mr Crowther,
“我沒(méi)覺(jué)得我提到了我自己，”克勞瑟先生說(shuō)，
"that I mentioned myself, but I certainly consider my suitcase more important than yours, and in saying this I make no reference to the quality of the leather, but merely to the fact that I am myself, while you are a total stranger."
“但是我很確定我的手提箱比你的更重要，我這樣說(shuō)并不是考慮到皮革的質(zhì)量，只是針對(duì)我是我自己，而你是一個(gè)完全陌生的人這個(gè)事實(shí)。”
"And the affairs of strangers don't interest you?"
“那么，陌生人的事你就完全不感興趣？”
"Only in so far as they affect mine."
“只有在當(dāng)這些事影響到我時(shí)。”
"Well," said Mr Harraby-Ribston, "I should certainly have thought that when I threw my suitcase out of the window it could hardly have failed to affect somewhat..."
“好吧，”哈利比-里伯斯頓先生說(shuō)， “我早該想到的，當(dāng)我把手提箱扔出窗外時(shí)，我認(rèn)為這幾乎不可能一點(diǎn)也沒(méi)有影響到……”
"Not in the least!" said Mr Crowther coldly.
“絲毫沒(méi)有！ ”克勞瑟先生冷冷地說(shuō)。
"It only shows," Mr Harraby-Ribston remarked, "how people differ.
“這只是表明，”哈利比-里伯斯頓先生說(shuō)，“人們是多么的不同，
Now if you had thrown your suitcase out of the window, I should have been extremely curious to know why you did it."
如果當(dāng)時(shí)是你把手提箱扔出了窗外，我會(huì)非常好奇想要知道你為什么那么做。”
"I gather," replied Mr Crowther with complete detachment, "that you are anxious to tell me why you did it."
“我猜想，”克勞瑟先生以一種非常冷靜、客觀的語(yǔ)氣回答道，“你很急切地想要告訴我你為什么那么做。”
