"What have you in the hat-box, my friend?"inquired the Pugilist.
一個拳擊手遇見了“社區(qū)道德情操”，正帶著個帽盒。
“你那帽盒里裝的啥呀？我的朋友。”拳擊手問道。
"A new frown," was the answer. "I am bringing it from the frownery the one over there with the gilded steeple."
“又一次皺眉，” 他回答說。“我從一個皺眉者那里取來——他住在那座有金頂?shù)姆孔??！?/FONT>
"And what are you going to do with the nice new frown?" the Pugilist asked.
“那你要拿這個嶄新美麗的皺眉做什么呢？”拳擊手又問。
"Put down pugilism - if I have to wear it night and day," said the Moral Sentiment of the Community, sternly.
“取締拳擊——不然我將日夜不安，時時蹙眉?！? 這位“社區(qū)道德情操”如是說，語帶嚴(yán)苛。
"That's right," said the Pugilist, "that is right, my good friend; ifpugilism had been put down yesterday, I wouldn't have this kind of Nose to-day. I had a rattling hot fight last evening with - "
“你說的對極了，”這拳手說，“對極了，我的好朋友；如果拳擊在昨天就被取締了的話，我的鼻子也就不會像今天這樣子了。昨晚我進行了一場惡戰(zhàn)，對手是——"
"Is that so?" cried the Moral Sentiment of the Community, with sudden animation. "Which licked? Sit down here on the hat-box andtell me all about it!"
“是嗎？”道德情操登時興奮起來?！按虻脑鯓樱縼韥韥恚@帽盒上，都跟我講講!"
