After this period, every appearance of acquaintance was dropt. How he lived I know not. But last summer he was again most painfully obtruded on my notice.

从这个时期以后，连一点点面子账交情都完了。我不知道他是怎样生活，可是说来痛心之至，去年夏天他又引起了我注意。

He had already dropt some hints of his intention to marry; They had been as favourably received as He could expect, and He harboured no doubt of the success of his application.

他已经暗示过他婚了；他们得到了他所期望好评，他毫不怀疑他申请会成功。
