But here comes the young reprobate 1. He must be present, as a matter of course, you know. 哦，瞧，那小流氓进来了，他准得来的，不消说，你懂的。
(Enter Frank Millington.) （弗兰克·米林顿走进）
Your servant, young gentleman. So your benefactress has left you at last. 你的仆从在此，年轻人，你的监护人已经去世了。
It is a painful thing to part with old and good friends, Mr. Millington. 米林顿先生，与挚友及心爱朋友最后离别，真够难过的。
Frank says: It is so, sir; but I could bear her loss better had I not so often been ungrateful for her kindness. 弗兰克：先生们，事已至此，如果当时我并非一而再、再而三对她的培养忘恩负义，想起这一点比她的去世更难忍受。
She was my only friend, and I knew not her value. 她是我唯一的亲人，我真是枉费了她一番好心。
It is too late to repent 2, Master Millington. You will now have a chance to earn your own bread. 现在再买后悔药，晚了，米林顿少爷。从今个起，你得自个在土里刨食了。
Ay, ay, or the sweat of your brow, as better people are obliged to. 咳，咳，你是得自己找活路了，汗珠子摔八瓣，那些比你还体面的人也得做活。
You would make a fine brewer's boy, if you were not too old. 你不如学学怎么酿酒，但愿年龄还不太大。
Ay, or a saddler's lackey 3, if held with a tight rein 4. 哎呀呀，做个皮货商跟班学徒也不错，如果约束更严点的话。
Gentlemen, your remarks imply that my aunt has treated me as I deserved. 先生们，你们的话说明，我婶婶那样对我，真是我咎由自取。
I am above your insults, and only hope you will bear your fortune as modestly as I shall mine submissively. I shall retire. 不过，你们还不够资格来羞辱我，我唯一指望你们能像我那样谦卑顺从地接受现实，好了，我得走了。
(Going: He meets Squire 5 Drawl.) （弗兰克正欲离开，德洛法官走进。）
Squire says: Stop, stop, young man. We must have your presence. Good morning, gentlemen; you are early on the ground. 德洛法官：等等，年轻人。你肯定不能离开，早上好，先生们，你们来得可真够早。
I hope the Squire is well to-day. 但愿法官大人今天感觉不错。
