The glance of a man accustomed to draw enormous interest from his capital acquires, like that of the libertine, the gambler, or the sycophant, certain indefinable habits, —furtive, eager, mysterious movements, which never escape the notice of his co-religionists.
一个习惯于从他资本中获得巨大利益
人
目光,就像浪荡子、赌徒
马屁精
目光一样,会养成某些难以形容
习惯——偷偷摸摸、急切、神秘
动作,这些动作永远不会逃
他
同教徒

Her visits were prompted by friendship merely, but the suspicion gradually entered the brain of Epps, that another and a baser passion led her thither—that it was not Harriet she desired to meet, but rather the unblushing libertine, his neighbor.
她拜访仅仅是出于友谊,但埃普斯逐渐开始怀疑,是另一种更卑鄙
激情把她带到了那里——她想见
不是哈丽特, 而是他
邻居那个毫不脸红
浪荡子。

他们愚蠢难道不是那些在社交中放松
浪荡子
代名词吗? 有理智
人难道不会不断地哀叹, 对衣着和放荡
度爱好使一个家庭
母亲永远离开了家吗?
