poltroonery

It would be easier for the weakest poltroon that lives , to erase himself from existence , than to erase one letter of his name or crimes from the knitted register of madame defarge 若想從德伐日太太織成的記錄上抹去一個名字或罪惡,那怕是一個字母,也比最膽小的懦夫抹掉自己的生命還難呢! ”

What a miserable little poltroon had fear , engendered of unjust punishment , made of me in those days 我停住了腳步,嚇得直打哆嗦,可憐的膽小鬼,那時候不公的懲罰竟使她怕成了這付樣子!
