I knew Uriah was deliberately encouraging Mr Wickfield to drink too much, but I saw that although Agnes's father was aware of his weakness, he could no longer stop himself. As the evening passed, I was disgusted to see that Uriah became more and more cheerful as Mr Wickfield became more and more drunk. Finally Uriah stood up with a glass in his hand.
我知道尤賴亞故意鼓動威克菲爾先生酗酒，但我看出盡管阿格尼斯的父親意識到自己身體虛弱，但他已不能克制自己。一晚上下來，我看見，隨著威克菲爾先生越喝越醉，尤賴亞變得越來越高興，這使我很氣憤。最后，尤賴亞手中舉著一杯酒站起來。
"Come, partner! " he said with his evil smile. "Let's drink to the health of the most beautiful woman in the world! "
“來，我的伙伴！”他陰險地笑了笑，說，“讓我們為世界上最美麗的女人的健康干杯！”
Poor, broken Mr wickfield looked for a moment at the picture of his dead wife on the wall, so similar to Agnes.
可憐的、心碎的威克菲爾先生抬頭看了一會兒墻上已過世的妻子的像片，她那么像阿格尼斯。
"I may be humble, " continued Uriah, "but I admire, no, I love your daughter Agnes! "
“我也許卑微，”尤賴亞繼續道，“但我敬重，不，我愛你的女兒阿格尼斯！”
Suddenly a horrible cry came from Mr Wickfield. He had stood up, and was screaming with anger. He behaved so wildly and desperately that I thought he had gone mad. "My child and you, Heep! No, never! You've taken everything from me, my business, my good name, my home, but you'll never take her! "
突然，威克菲爾先生發出一聲可怕的叫喊，他站起身來，憤怒地尖叫著。他的行為如此瘋狂、絕望，我真覺得他已經瘋了。“我的孩子和你，希普！不，不可能！你奪走了我的一切，我的事業，我的名譽，我的房子，但你決奪不走她！”
"Perhaps I've said too much too soon, "said Uriah, looking uncomfortable. "But you'll be sorry, partner, if you say any more! You need me, remember? You've got nothing without me! Remember that before you accuse me of anything! "
“或許我說得太多太早了，”尤賴亞不自在地說道，“但你要再說話，你會后侮的，伙伴！你需要我，記得嗎？沒有我你什么都得不到！在你指責我任何事之前記住這一點！”
Just then the door opened and Agnes entered silently.
正在這時，門開了，阿格尼斯靜靜地走進來。
"You're not well, Father, come with me, " she whispered gently, and helped the ashamed old man out. I thought she must have heard what had been said.
“你不舒服，父親，來，跟我走，”她溫和地輕聲說道，扶著這位狼狽的老人走出了房間。我想她一定聽見了剛才的話。
Later that night she came to say goodnight to me in the sitting-room, where I was alone, reading.
那天晚上晚些時候，我正一個人在客廳里看書，她進來道晚安。
"Agnes, my dear sister, "I said to her, "promise me that you will never agree to marry that evil creature, for any reason! "
“阿格尼斯，我親愛的姐姐，”我對她說，“答應我你決不同意嫁給那個惡毒的畜生，不管出于什么原因！”
Through her tears she smiled calmly at me. "Don't worry, brother, I'm not afraid of him. My duty is to take care of Father, and I trust in God for the rest. Goodnight, David. "
透過淚水，她平靜地沖我笑笑，“別擔心，弟弟，我不怕他。我的職責就是照顧父親，我相信上帝會安排一切。晚安，大衛。”
