fourply

Often enough , when the first of the month came round , and i applied to him for my wage , he would only blow through his nose at me , and stare me down ; but before the week was out he was sure to think better of it , bring me my fourpenny piece , and repeat his orders to look out for the seafaring man with one leg 有好多回,當月初到來,我向他申請報酬的時候,他便會對我嗤之以鼻,還瞪得我低下了頭但是不等一周過完,他肯定好好考慮考慮,給我那四便士,同時重申他那個要我監視“獨腿水手”的命令。

He had taken me aside one day , and promised me a silver fourpenny on the first of every month if i would only keep my weather - eye open for a seafaring man with one leg , and let him know the moment he appeared 有一天他曾把我拉到一邊,并且答應我,只要我幫他“留神一個獨腿水手” ,并且一旦那個人出現就向他通風報信,這樣每月月初他就付給我一枚四便士銀幣。

And altogether i paid pretty dear for my monthly fourpenny piece , in the shape of these abominable fancies 總之,為了我那每月的四便士,這些想像出來的形狀令我付出了相當昂貴的代價。

Never a month but i ve given you a silver fourpenny for yourself 我月月不落地給你個四便士的角子。

He promised me a silver fourpenny on the first of every month if i would only keep my weather eye open for a seafaring man with one leg . 他答應每個月初給我一枚四便士銀幣,只要我能留心看著一個只有一條腿的水手。

Altogether i paid pretty dear for my monthly fourpenny piece, in the shape of these abominable fancies . 總之,在這種可惡地幻想出來的朦朧形象當中,我為那每月的四個便士付出了相當昂貴的代價。
