解釋
〈美俚〉馬戲,野獸展覽。-
It is the rooms occupied by those women who have carriages which spatter their own with mud every day of the week, who have their boxes at the opera or the theatre - italien just as they do, and indeed next to theirs, and who display for all paris to see the insolent opulence of their beauty, diamonds and shameless conduct
這種女人的穿著打扮往往使這些貴婦人相形見絀這種女人在大歌劇院和義大利人歌劇院里，也像她們一樣，擁有自己的包廂，並且就和她們並肩而坐這種女人恬不知恥地在巴黎街頭賣弄她們的姿色，炫耀她們的珠寶，播揚她們的「風流韻事」 。 -
I acknowledged no natural claim on adele s part to be supported by me, nor do i now acknowledge any, for i am not her father ; but hearing that she was quite destitute, i e en took the poor thing out of the slime and mud of paris, and transplanted it here, to grow up clean in the wholesome soil of an english country garden. mrs. fairfax found you to train it ; but now you know that it is the illegitimate offspring of a french opera - girl, you will perhaps think differently of your post and protegee : you will be coming to me some day with notice that you have found another place - that you beg me to look out for a new governess, etc. - eh
當時我並沒有承認自己有撫養阿黛勒的義務，就是現在也不承認，因為我不是她的父親，不過一聽到她窮愁潦倒，我便把這個可憐蟲帶出了巴黎的泥坑，轉移到這里，讓她在英國鄉間花園健康的土壤中，乾乾凈凈地成長，費爾法克斯太太找到了你來培養她，而現在，你知道她是一位法國歌劇女郎的私生女了，你也許對自己的職位和保保人身份，改變了想法，說不定哪一天你會來見我，通知我己經找到了別的工作。
