Bleak House — Page 9
奇泽尔、米泽尔等人不知不觉养成了一种习惯，含含糊糊地自我承诺，说要去查一查那件悬而未决的小事，看看能为德里泽做些什么——那个没有得到公正对待的人——等到贾恩迪斯诉贾恩迪斯案从法院撤销之后再说。
Chizzle, Mizzle, and otherwise have lapsed into a habit of vaguely promising themselves that they will look into that outstanding little matter and see what can be done for Drizzle—who was not well used—when Jarndyce and Jarndyce shall be got out of the office.
这桩命运多舛的案件广泛散播了各种形式的逃避与欺诈之风；就连那些只是从最外围旁观其历史的人，也不知不觉地被引诱，养成了对坏事听之任之、任其自行发展的散漫态度，并模糊地相信：若世界走向了错误，那不过是因为它从来就没被认真地安排成走向正确。
Shirking and sharking in all their many varieties have been sown broadcast by the ill-fated cause; and even those who have contemplated its history from the outermost circle of such evil have been insensibly tempted into a loose way of letting bad things alone to take their own bad course, and a loose belief that if the world go wrong it was in some off-hand manner never meant to go right.
就这样，在泥泞之中，在迷雾的核心，大法官大人端坐于他的大法院之内。
Thus, in the midst of the mud and at the heart of the fog, sits the Lord High Chancellor in his High Court of Chancery.
大法官大人说："坦格尔先生，"——近来他对这位博学绅士的滔滔雄辩已略感不安。
"Mr. Tangle," says the Lord High Chancellor, latterly something restless under the eloquence of that learned gentleman.
坦格尔先生说："大人。"坦格尔先生对贾恩迪斯诉贾恩迪斯案的了解胜过任何人。他以此闻名——据说自他离开学校之后便再未读过其他任何东西。
"Mlud," says Mr. Tangle. Mr. Tangle knows more of Jarndyce and Jarndyce than anybody. He is famous for it—supposed never to have read anything else since he left school.
"您的辩论是否快要结束了？"
"Have you nearly concluded your argument?"
坦格尔先生滑出口的回答是："大人，还没——要点繁多——本人职责所在，须向大人提呈——大人阁下。"
"Mlud, no—variety of points—feel it my duty tsubmit—ludship," is the reply that slides out of Mr. Tangle.
大法官带着淡淡的微笑说："我相信还有几位律师尚未陈词？"
"Several members of the bar are still to be heard, I believe?" says the Chancellor with a slight smile.
坦格尔先生的十八位……
Eighteen of Mr.
