fourpenny

I hit her such a fourpenny one that I sent her flying.

我一拳把她打飞。

but before the week was out he was sure to think better of it, bring me my fourpenny piece, and repeat his orders to look out for 'the seafaring man with one leg.

但不出一星期，他又会改变主意，把那四银币给我，重新叮嘱我，要我留神那个“独腿水手”。

One day,he took me aside and promised me a sliver fourpenny on the first of every month if I would keep my eye open for a sailor with one leg and let him know the moment he appeared.

有一天他把我拉到一边，向我保证给我四，如果我能留心注意一个只有一条腿水手，并且在他（水手）出现那一刻告诉他。
