这些药丸毫无用处——我不如吞几个雪球来降降火——我已经一再告诉你,我这人是多么难以调动;而且到了我这个年纪,我应该对自己的体质有所了解。

The pills are good for nothing--I might as well swallow snowballs to cool my reins--I have told you over and over how hard I am to move; and at this time of day, I ought to know something of my own constitution.

你为什么这么固执?请再给我开一个药方——我浑身酸痛,四肢受尽折磨,简直像被绑在车轮上碾过一般。

Why will you be so positive? Prithee send me another prescription--I am as lame and as much tortured in all my limbs as if I was broke upon the wheel:

说实话,我身心同样痛苦——好像我自己的烦恼还不够多似的,我姐姐的那些孩子被留给我,成了我无穷无尽的烦恼之源——人们有什么必要生下孩子来折磨邻居呢?

indeed, I am equally distressed in mind and body--As if I had not plagues enough of my own, those children of my sister are left me for a perpetual source of vexation--what business have people to get children to plague their neighbours?

昨天发生在我外甥女莉迪身上的一件荒唐事,让我心烦意乱,我预料自己又要痛风发作卧床不起了——也许我在下封信中会详细说明。

A ridiculous incident that happened yesterday to my niece Liddy, has disordered me in such a manner, that I expect to be laid up with another fit of the gout--perhaps, I may explain myself in my next.

我明天早上将动身前往布里斯托尔的温泉,恐怕要在那里逗留比我希望的更长时间。

I shall set out tomorrow morning for the Hot Well at Bristol, where I am afraid I shall stay longer than I could wish.

收到此信后,请派威廉斯带着我的鞍马和半鞍鞍具前往那里。

On the receipt of this send Williams thither with my saddle-horse and the demi pique.

告诉巴恩斯将那两垛旧麦堆脱粒,把粮食送到市场,以低于市价一先令一蒲式耳的价格卖给穷人。

Tell Barns to thresh out the two old ricks, and send the corn to market, and sell it off to the poor at a shilling a bushel under market price.

我收到了格里芬发来的一封涕泣不止的信,表示愿意公开认错并承担诉讼费用。
