"The name of our family is hated everywhere in France. We are hard, cruel landowners. Our miserable people own nothing. They work for us night and day, but they don't even have enough food for themselves and their children. If this land became mine, I would give it away, and go and live somewhere else."
“我们家族的名字在法国所有的地方都令人痛恨。我们是心狠手辣的地主。我们苦难的人民一无所有。他们日夜为我们工作,可他们和他们的孩子却食不果腹。如果把这些土地给我,我就把它们分给人,然后离开这儿去别处生活。”
"You seem to be very fond of England, although you are not a rich man there, " said the Marquis."I believe you know another Frenchman who has found a safe home there. A Doctor, I believe?"
“你似乎很喜欢英国,尽管你在那儿算不上一个有钱人,”侯爵说。“我想你知道另外一个法国人,他已在那儿找到了安身之所。他是个医生,对吗?”
"Yes."
“是的。”
"With a daughter?"
“还有一个女儿?”
"Yes."
“是的。”
"Yes, " said the Marquis with a secret smile on his face. "So, a new way of life begins. But you are tired. Goodnight, Charles sleep well. I shall see you in the morning."
“啊,”侯爵说,脸上露出神秘的笑容。“那么,一种新的生活方式开始啦。但是你已经累了。晚安,查尔斯,祝你睡个好觉,我明天早上再见你。”
