Steelman

Next morning Steelman was sitting beside Brown's bed with a saucer of vinegar, some brown paper, a raw beef-steak, and a bottle of soda.

第二天早上，斯蒂尔曼坐在布朗的床边，手里拿着一碟醋、一些牛皮纸、一块生牛排和一瓶苏打水。

You'd better invite some woman you know to come on a visit, and pass her off as your sister, said Brown to his wife, while Steelman was gone for the beer.

你最好请哪个认识的女人到我们家来吧，让她冒充你的姐姐。

If you were married, and settled down, and were so unfortunate as to have known Steelman in other days, he would, if in your neighbourhood and deadbeat, be sure to look you up.

如果你结了婚、安了家，而又不幸以前曾认识斯蒂尔曼，那么只要他在你家附近而又闲着没事，他准会找上门来。

Few people care to call the police in a case like this; and besides, as before remarked, Steelman knew his men.

这种情况下没有多少人想到要叫警察；而且，如前所述，斯蒂尔曼了解与他相处的这些人。

There was no shaking off Steelman.

斯蒂尔曼是甩不掉的。

He took a day off to get thoroughly worked up in, came home that night full to the chin of indignation and Dunedin beer, and tried to kick Steelman out.

他请了一天假来使自己彻底激愤起来，到了晚上他回到家时，心里充满愤恨，肚里装满了度丁啤酒，试图赶走斯蒂尔曼。
