‘But what about Fanny？’asked the soldier cleverly.

‘Don't desert her，Troy，I beg you！

I don't mean Fanny，I'm speaking of Bathsheba！
我不是说范妮，我是说芭丝谢芭。
How can I persuade you？I know！

I'll pay you five hundred pounds on the day you marry Bathsheba！’

Troy was secretly shocked at Boldwood's wild offer.
伯德伍德这样胡乱给钱，令托伊暗自吃惊。
‘And I'll receive something now as well？’he asked.
“现在我也会得到点什么吗？”他问道。
‘Yes，all the money I have with me！’
“是的，我身上带的钱全都给你！”
He counted the coins in his pocket.

‘Twenty－one pounds—it's all for you！’
“21镑——都给你！”
‘Give me the money，and we'll go to her house.
“把钱给我，然后咱们去她家。
I'll ask her to marry me.

Of course I won't say anything about the money. ’

They went along the road to the farmhouse，

and Boldwood waited outside while Troy entered.

He returned in a moment with a piece cut out of a Bath newspaper.
不一会儿，托伊出来了，手里拿着一张巴斯一家报纸的剪报。
‘Here，read this first，’he said，smiling. And Boldwood read：
“来，先念一念。”他微笑着说。伯德伍德念道：
MARRIAGES：On the 17th，in Bath，Frank Troy，Sergeant，to Bathsheba Everdene of Weatherbury.
结婚启事：中士弗兰克·托伊与威瑟伯里的芭丝谢芭·伊芙丁于17日在巴斯结婚。
