狄更斯雙語小說:《董貝父子》第17章Part 15
Before leaving the premises, the Captain, somewhat to the astonishment of the clerks, looked round from a central point of view, and took a general survey of the officers part and parcel of a project in which his young friend was nearly interested. The strong-room excited his especial admiration; but, that he might not appear too particular, he limited himself to an approving glance, and, with a graceful recognition of the clerks as a body, that was full of politeness and patronage, passed out into the court. Being promptly joined by Mr Perch, he conveyed that gentleman to the tavern, and fulfilled his pledge—hastily, for Perch's time was precious.
'I'll give you for a toast,' said the Captain, 'Wal'r!'
“我建議爲沃爾乾杯！”船長說道。'Who?' submitted Mr Perch.
“爲誰？”珀奇先生溫順地問道。
'Wal'r!' repeated the Captain, in a voice of thunder.
“沃爾！”船長用雷鳴般的大聲重複道。Mr Perch, who seemed to remember having heard in infancy that there was once a poet of that name, made no objection; but he was much astonished at the Captain's coming into the City to propose a poet; indeed, if he had proposed to put a poet's statue up—say Shakespeare's for example—in a civic thoroughfare, he could hardly have done a greater outrage to Mr Perch's experience. On the whole, he was such a mysterious and incomprehensible character, that Mr Perch decided not to mention him to Mrs Perch at all, in case of giving rise to any disagreeable consequences.
珀奇先生似乎記得在幼年時代聽人說過，從前有一位詩人是姓這個姓的，所以沒有反對。但是他很奇怪，船長爲什麼到城裏來建議爲一位詩人的健康乾杯；說真的，如果他建議在城市的一條大街上建立一位詩人（比方說，莎士比亞）的塑像，那還不至於超越珀奇先生的見聞。總之。他是一位十分神祕和莫測高深的人物，因此珀奇先生決定根本不向珀奇太太談起他，以免發生任何不愉快的後果。一:n.視野, 見解, 風景, 方法, 檢查 v.考慮, 看, 把 ... 視爲
