"Does she have a young man?"he asked."You know，someone who wants to marry her?"
“她有小伙子嗎？”他問。“就是，有沒有人想娶她？”
"Peggotty?A young man?"I repeated，surprised."Oh no,she's never had any young men."
“辟果提？小伙子？”我不解地重復道，“哦，沒有，她從未有過任何小伙子。”
"Ah!" replied Mr Barkis，looking very pleased. Again he thought for a long time before speaking.
“噢！”巴克斯先生答道，面露喜色。他又想了很長時間才開口說話。
"Well，"he said at last," perhaps if you write to her—will you be writing to her? You could give her a message from me. You could say 'Barkis is willing'. Would you do that?"
“那么，”他最后說道，“或許你給她寫信時——你會給她寫信吧？你可以替我捎個信，你寫上‘巴克斯很愿意'，可以嗎？”
"'Barkis is willing'，" I repeatedinnocently, wondering what the message meant."Yes，of course. But you could tell her yourself, Mr Barkis, when you return to Blunderstone tomorrow."
“‘巴克斯很愿意'，”我天真地重復道，捉摸著這句話的意思。“可以，當然。可你可以自己告訴她呀，巴克斯先生，等你明天回到布蘭德斯通的時候。”
