The ominous 4 silence continued, and Samuel, sick at heart, buried his face in his hands. 漫长的沉默还在继续，而萨缪尔一阵心悸，连忙用手捂住脸颊。
"Twenty-one thalers!" murmured a faint voice, just as the auctioneer was about to knock down the picture. “21泰勒！”就在拍卖员正要落槌表示流拍之际，一个软弱无力的声音轻声开价道，
The stupefied painter gave a start of joy. 这位惊呆了的画家转忧为喜。

"Fifty thalers," cried a sonorous 6 voice. “50泰勒！”一个洪亮的声音喊道。
This time a tall man in black was the speaker. 这次是一位身着黑衣服的高个子男人，他用喇叭喊价。
There was a silence of hushed expectation. 在一阵平静的期待中，拍卖会场陷于平静。
"One hundred thalers," at length thundered the picture dealer. “100泰勒，”终于，那位画商高声喊道。
"Three hundred!" "Five hundred!" "One thousand!" “300泰勒！”“500泰勒！”“1000泰勒！”
Another profound silence, and the crowd pressed around the two opponents, who stood opposite each other with eager and angry looks. 又陷入意味深长的沉默。人们簇拥在两位竞争对手周围，这两人面对面站着，都是一副热切又志在必得的神情，满脸怒气。
"Two thousand thalers!" cried the picture dealer, and glanced around him triumphantly 7, when he saw his adversary 8 hesitate. “2000泰勒！”这位画商喊道，他见对手略一踌躇，便盛气凌人地打量着对方。
