"The chances are that she'll be thinking of young men instead of attending to her duties and then, just when she's got used to your ways, she'll want to go and get married. But Miss Robinson had excellent references, and I must allow that she was a very nice, respectable person. I believe in point of fact she was a clergyman's daughter.
“很有可能她会想着年轻男人而不是专注于自己的职责，然后，当她刚习惯了你的行事方式后,她会想要离开去结婚。但是罗宾逊小姐有极好的推荐人，而且我必须承认她是一位很好的、值得尊敬的人。事实上，我认为她是一位牧师的女儿。
"There was a man at dinner whom I don't suppose you've ever heard of, but who's quite a celebrity in his way. He's a Count Borselli and he knows more about precious stones than anyone in the world. He was sitting next to Mary Lyngate, who rather fancies herself on her pearls, and in the course of conversation she asked him what he thought of the string she was wearing. He said it was very pretty. She was rather piqued at this and told him it was valued at eight thousand pounds.
“一起用餐的有一位先生，我想你应该从来没听说过他，但他在自己的领域非常有名。他是博尔塞利爵士，比世界上任何人都懂宝石。他挨着玛丽•林格特，她因自己的珍珠很是自命不凡，在谈话期间，她问他觉得她戴的那串珍珠怎么样。他说很漂亮。为此她感到非常恼怒，并告诉他这串项链值8,000英镑。
"Yes, it's worth that,' he said.
“‘是的，它值这么多，’他说。
