You're bragging 1. If I really did you'd be overwhelmed with remorse 2. “你在说大话。如果我真的上了吊你会后悔一辈子的。”
Try it, and we'll see, I retorted. “你不妨试一试，就知道我后悔不后悔了。”
A smile flickered 3 in his eyes, and he stirred his absinthe in silence. 他的眼睛里露出一丝笑意，默默地搅和着他的苦艾酒。
Would you like to play chess? I asked. I don't mind. “想不想下棋？”我问他说。“我不反对。”
We set up the pieces, and when the board was ready he considered it with a comfortable eye. 我们开始摆棋子，摆好以后，他注视着面前的棋盘，带着一副自得其乐的样子。

It's disappointing to find that at heart you are sentimental 5. “发现你心里还是人情味十足让我失望。
I should have liked you better if you hadn't made that ingenuous 6 appeal to my sympathies. 如果你不那么天真，想利用我的同情心来打动我，我会更喜欢你一些。”
I should have despised you if you'd been moved by it, he answered. “如果你被我打动，我会鄙视你的。”他回答说。
That's better, I laughed. “那就好了。”我笑起来。
We began to play. We were both absorbed in the game. 我们开始走棋。两个人的精神都被当前的一局棋吸引住。
When it was finished I said to him: 一盘棋下完以后，我对他说：
Look here, if you're hard up, let me see your pictures. “你听我说，如果你缺钱花，让我去看看你的画怎么样？
If there's anything I like I'll buy it. 如果有我喜欢的，我会买你一幅。”
Go to hell, he answered. “你见鬼去吧！”他说。
He got up and was about to go away. I stopped him. 他站起来准备走，我把他拦住了。
You haven't paid for your absinthe, I said, smiling. “你还没有付酒帐呢。”我笑着说。
He cursed me, flung down the money and left. 他骂了我一句，把钱往桌上一扔就走了。
I did not see him for several days after that, but one evening, when I was sitting in the cafe, reading a paper, he came up and sat beside me. 这件事过去以后，我有几天没有看见他，但是有一天晚上我正坐在咖啡馆里看报纸的时候，思特里克兰德走了过来，在我身旁边坐下。
You haven't hanged yourself after all, I remarked. “你原来并没有上吊啊。”我说。
No. I've got a commission. “没有。有人请我画一幅画。
