Generous creature! kind soul! I always loved her!
太慷慨的饋贈！好心的人呀！我一直那么敬重她！

她真好，心地善良——，斯威伯兄弟，那么，什么時候我們開始分家產(chǎn)？我想，我想分到那座大套府宅。
Not so fast, if you please, Mr. Currie. My wife has long had her eye upon that, and must have it.
柯里先生，請你先別那么急吼吼好不好？我老婆早就眼巴巴想要那套房子了，沒說的，那套房子該是我們的。

Am I not named first in her will? and did I not furnish her with my best small beer for more than six months? And who knows...
我難道不是她遺囑上的首位繼承人？難道不是我給她送上我家最好的淡啤酒，并且一送就是半年多！有誰知道……
