Yes. The fact is that I earned my passage by working as an unpaid hand, which accounts for my appearance.
是的。事实上我靠做义工来顶替船费。这就是我为什么衣冠不整的原因了。

(happily) What luck! Brother, what luck! (claps his hands together)
（高兴地）老兄，真走运！真有运气！（鼓起掌来）

On the contrary, in fact. If this is your idea of some kind of joke, I don't think it's very funny.

(taking it carefully) For me?
（小心翼翼地接过信）是给我吗？
For you.

啊，别拆，你不要拆，。
Not yet. You can't open it until two o'clock.

Not silly. There's money in it.
这不可笑，这里边有钱呢。

Promise. Goodbye.
