Old Mr. Farquhar, from whom I purchased it, had at one time an excellent general practice; but his age, and an affliction of the nature of St. Vitus's dance from which he suffered, had very much thinned it.

我是从老法夸尔先生手中买下的，有一个时期老法夸尔先生的诊疗业兴旺，可是由于他的年纪大了，又加上遭受一种舞蹈的折磨，他的门庭也就逐渐冷落下来。

He had Huntington's chorea, the same disease of the brain and nervous system that had killed his mother. Woody Guthrie was forty years old.

他患有顿舞蹈，这是一种大脑和神经系统的疾，他的母亲就是死于这种。伍迪·格思里当时40岁。

I would have to have St. Vitus's Dance to weave a word like that into my web.

“在我的网上织这样一个字眼，那我就得害上圣维特斯舞蹈。”

Why, now, this pewter had run brimming again, were not thou St. Vitus Ib.

那么，要不是你像圣维图斯舞蹈那样抽筋，这铅锤早该灌满水了。

And to your point on Huntington's, the information is real.

就您关于顿舞蹈的观点而言，这些信息是真实的。
