What is all this? You don't mean that we are humbugged? In trust! How does that appear? Where is it?

究竟怎么回事？你不是說，我們都被蒙騙了吧？托管？“托管”這兩字在哪？究竟在哪里？

There; in two words of as good old English as I ever penned.

喏，在這，這兩個(gè)漂亮的古英語單詞，差不多為我迄今為止最好的拼寫。

Pretty well, too, Mr. Squire, if we must be sent for to be made a laughingstock of.

書寫倒確實(shí)不錯(cuò)。法官大人，老夫人每次外出租借我馬車費(fèi)用，能夠支付給我嗎？

She shall pay for every ride she has had out of my chaise, I promise you.

這樣我們就兩不相欠了。這點(diǎn)，我可以向你保證。但我們是否令人恥笑呢？

And for every drop of my beer.

老夫人還得為她喝我的每滴啤酒付賬，

Fine times, if two sober, hard-working citizens are to be brought here to be made the sport of a graceless profligate.

那該多少次！我們兩位嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)辛勞的好市民居然被帶到這里讓人說成不知羞恥或不檢點(diǎn)，

But we will manage his property for him, Mr. Currie; we will make him feel that trustees are not to be trifled with. That we will.

反過來，我們還要為弗蘭克管理財(cái)產(chǎn)，柯里先生，我們要讓他感到，作為他的委托人，我們可不是輕易好打發(fā)的。一點(diǎn)不錯(cuò)。

Not so fast, gentlemen; for the instrument is dated three years ago;

別急，先生們，因?yàn)檫@份契約簽字時(shí)間是三年前，

and the young gentleman must be already of age, and able to take care of himself. Is it not so, Francis?

因此那位年輕人已到了規(guī)定年限，也就是說，他已經(jīng)能獨(dú)自經(jīng)營資產(chǎn)，是嗎？弗朗西斯？

It is, your worship.

是的，法官閣下。

Then, gentlemen, having attended to the breaking of the seal, according to law,

那么，先生們，既然你們已目睹遺囑打開，依據(jù)法律，

you are released from any further trouble about the business.

接下來，你們與該遺囑將不會(huì)有任何關(guān)系或糾葛。
