“Ah,” said Mr. Grant, my saying was true! I said you would live to repent writing that pamphlet.

“哦，我所說(shuō)的是真心話，我說(shuō)過(guò)你會(huì)活到你后悔寫(xiě)宣傳冊(cè)的那一天，

I did not mean it as a threat.

我并不認(rèn)為這是威脅，

I only meant that some day you would know us better, and be sorry you had tried to injure us.

只是覺(jué)得，總有一天你會(huì)更加了解我們，并對(duì)無(wú)恥傷害我們感到抱歉。

I see you repent of it now.“I do, I do!” said the grateful man;

我現(xiàn)在看到你的真誠(chéng)悔過(guò)。”“我悔過(guò)，我確實(shí)錯(cuò)了！”那批發(fā)商人感激涕零地說(shuō)：

“I bitterly repent it.” Well, well, my dear fellow, you know us now.

“我實(shí)在后悔我所做的事。”好了，好了，親愛(ài)的朋友，你現(xiàn)在對(duì)我們有了初步了解，

How do you get on? What are you going to do?

The poor man stated he had friends who could assist him when his certificate was obtained.

But how are you off in the meantime?

“但是，你如何從目前困境中擺脫出來(lái)？

And the answer was, that, having given up every farthing to his creditors,

那位批發(fā)商告訴格蘭特先生，哪怕對(duì)自己債權(quán)人放棄丁點(diǎn)利益，

he had been compelled to stint his family of even common necessaries,

他也要被迫節(jié)省或壓縮家庭生活最基本開(kāi)銷，

that he might be enabled to pay the cost of his certificate.

這樣才有能力支付執(zhí)照費(fèi)用。

My dear fellow, this will not do; your family must not suffer.

親愛(ài)的朋友，這沒(méi)有用，你的全家不能受罪。

Be kind enough to take this ten-pound note to your wife from me.

從我這拿上十英鎊支票給你夫人吧。

There, there, my dear fellow! Nay, do not cry; it will all be well with you yet.

請(qǐng)收下，收下吧，親愛(ài)的朋友！好了，不要哭了，一切都會(huì)好起來(lái)的。

Keep up your spirits, set to work like a man, and you will raise your head among us yet.

振作精神，像男人那樣承擔(dān)責(zé)任，你一定會(huì)在我們中間重新昂起頭。

The overpowered man endeavored in vain to express his thanks; the swelling in his throat forbade words.

這位內(nèi)心糾結(jié)的漢子竭力想表達(dá)他的謝意，然而一切徒然無(wú)助。他哽咽地說(shuō)不出話來(lái)，

He put his handkerchief to his face and went out of the door, crying like a child.

拿出手帕捂住臉，走出門(mén)后，頓時(shí)像孩子那樣嚎啕大哭起來(lái)。
