“10000泰勒!”這位高個(gè)子男人高聲喝道，因?yàn)閼嵟樕戏撼鲎霞t色，雙手痙攣般地緊攥著。

The dealer grew paler; his frame shook with agitation; he made two or three efforts, and at last cried out "Twenty thousand!"

那位畫商臉色更顯蒼白了，身體激動(dòng)地戰(zhàn)栗著。他試著張著嘴，最后喊出“20000泰勒!”

His tall opponent was not to be vanquished. He bid forty thousand.

他的對(duì)手沒有被嚇倒。他出價(jià)40000泰勒。

The dealer stopped; the other laughed a low laugh of insolent triumph, and a murmur of admiration was heard in the crowd.

畫商沒有接著出價(jià)，對(duì)方的笑聲中夾雜著低沉的勝利者的侮慢，人群發(fā)出較低的贊嘆聲。

It was too much for the dealer; he felt his peace was at stake.

對(duì)畫商來(lái)說(shuō)，這種聲音太刺耳了，他覺得自己再也無(wú)法保持平和了。

"Fifty thousand!" exclaimed he in desperation.

“50000泰勒!”他孤注一擲地喊道。

It was the tall man's turn to hesitate.

這次輪到高個(gè)子男人猶豫了。

Again the whole crowd were breathless.

人們?cè)俅纹磷『粑?/p>

At length, tossing his arms in defiance, he shouted "One hundred thousand!"

最后，他用力揮動(dòng)手臂，做出決戰(zhàn)的架勢(shì)，他用盡力氣高喊“100000泰勒!”

The crestfallen picture dealer withdrew; the tall man victoriously bore away the prize.

畫商在這幅畫面前退卻了，高個(gè)子男人以勝利者的姿態(tài)將獎(jiǎng)品攬入懷中。

How was it, meanwhile, with Duhobret, while this exciting scene was going on?

這番情景對(duì)杜霍布賴特來(lái)說(shuō)恍若隔夢(mèng)，這個(gè)激動(dòng)人心的場(chǎng)面是怎么進(jìn)行的?

He was hardly master of his senses.

他幾乎無(wú)法自制了。

He rubbed his eyes repeatedly, and murmured to himself, "After such a dream, my misery will seem more cruel!"

他一個(gè)勁地揉眼睛小聲自語(yǔ)道，“這場(chǎng)夢(mèng)過(guò)后，我的悲慘生活似乎更甚了!”

When the contest ceased, he rose up bewildered, and went about asking first one, then another, the price of the picture just sold.

當(dāng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)終于停下來(lái)后，他困惑地站起來(lái)，先向第一個(gè)人打聽，接下來(lái)又問另一個(gè)人這幅畫最后賣了多少錢。

It seemed that his apprehension could not at once be enlarged to so vast a conception.

仿佛他的理解力無(wú)法馬上領(lǐng)會(huì)100000是個(gè)什么概念似的。
