"You give the children gin,Mrs Mann?"asked Mr Bumble,watching as she mixed his drink.
“曼太太,你給孩子們喝杜松子酒?”班布爾先生看著她給自己兌酒,問道。

“這姓是我給他起的,”班布爾先生自豪地說,“我們是按照字母表的順序給他們安排姓氏的,前一個是S,叫斯瓦勃(Swubble),輪到他是字母T,所以就叫特威斯特(Twist)。
The next one will be Unwin.Anyway,Oliver Twist is now old enough to return to the workhouse.Bring him here,please."
下一個叫恩溫(Unwin)。不管怎么說,奧利弗已經(jīng)長大了,該回到濟貧院去了。請把他帶到這兒來?!?/p>
