His rooms were quiet, and neat, and plain, But a spirit of comfort there held reign 2, And made him forget he was old and poor. 他的房间静谧，整洁又简朴，但充满温馨和惬意，他简直忘了自己年事已高又贫穷。

"And my friends and relatives here below Won't litigate over me when I am dead," Said the jolly old pedagogue 3, long ago. “我死时，我的朋友和亲戚在阴间不会起诉我的。”很久以前，这个欢快的老先生说。
But the pleasantest times he had of all, Were the sociable 4 hours he used to pass, 他的全部快活的时光就是那几小时与人交流的时间，
With his chair tipped back to a neighbor's wall, Making an unceremonious call, Over a pipe and a friendly glass: 他的椅子向后抵着邻家的墙，随意叫人给他拿来烟斗和花镜
This was the finest pleasure, he said, Of the many he tasted here below: 这是最纯粹的快乐，他说，他在那里已经尝试很多回了：
"Who has no cronies had better be dead," Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago. “没有朋友的人生不如死，”很久以前，这个欢快的老先生说。
The jolly old pedagogue's wrinkled face Melted all over in sunshiny smiles; 这个欢快的老先生那张闪闪发光的脸绽出愉快的微笑；
He stirred his glass with an old-school grace, Chuckled 5, and sipped 6, and prattled 7 apace, Till the house grew merry from cellar to tiles. 他扶了一下花镜，姿势那般优雅，咯咯一笑，呷了一口茶，像孩子般天真无邪地说着什么，直到整幢房子从地窖到瓦片都透着欢乐。
