恰如后来比尔说的那样，那阵子简直是“一时鬼迷心窍”.不过，我们直到后来才明白了这个意思。

(apparition在原文中是鬼魂或幽灵出现的意思。mental apparition直译是“心中有鬼”，这就很容易给人造成误解，因此需要多少将原形象适当地转换一下。)

(9) They will be ice-skating in hell the day， when I vote the aid for them.

要我投票赞成给他们援助，除非太阳从西边出来。

(ice-skating in hell如译成“在地狱里滑冰”就很难为中国读者所理解和接受。)

(10)。 “Until her husband won the pools， she was the most commonplace， dowdy， illiterate creature imaginable，but now that she dresses herself up like a society queen and nearly always remembers to sound her aitches， people are already beginning to forget what she was like before.

”Fine feathers make fine birds.“

”过去没有比她更平平常常、无知无识而又邋邋遢遢的了，自从她男人赢得全部赌注以后，她打扮得象个社交皇后，总是记住发H的音，人们开始忘记她以前是什么样子了。“

”人靠衣裳马靠鞍嘛。“

(11) I'd much rather see her once or twice and not do anything about it——what could I do about it anyway? She's a bit out of my class， don't you think? If I did try to do anything， I'd only get sent off with a flea in my ear.

我宁愿见她一两面就算了──我还能干什么呢?你没看到她和我不怎么相称吗?我要干点什么，也只会碰一鼻子灰。

(原文a flea in one's ear的字面意思是”耳朵上有个跳蚤“，用来比喻”讥讽的话，刺耳的话“.send sb. off with a flea in one's ear意思是”用讥讽的话气走某人“，与汉语”碰一鼻子灰“意思相近，但如译为”用讥讽话气走某人“，则过于平淡，远不如”碰一鼻子灰“生动、俏皮。)

(12) He was so fond of talking that his comrades nicknamed him ”magpie“.

他如此唠叨，同伴们给他起了个 ”麻雀“
