This man, as has been intimated, was a notorious profligate, and withal not on the most friendly terms with Epps.

这个人，正如已经暗示那样， 是一个臭名昭著浪荡子，而且与埃普斯关系也不是最友好。

When he bragged to me of the expense of growing them I was reminded of a hideous old Lothario bragging of what his pleasures cost.

当他向我吹嘘种植它们费用时，我想起了一个丑陋老浪荡子吹嘘他快乐所付出代价。

How much more modest is the libertine who obeys the call of appetite or fancy, than the lewd joker who sets the table in a roar.

听从食欲或幻想召唤浪荡子， 比起喧闹摆桌下流小丑要谦虚得多。

To such lengths, indeed, does an intemperate love of pleasure carry some prudent men, or worn out libertines, who marry to have a safe companion, that they seduce their own wives.

确实，明男人或疲力竭浪荡子为了找一个安侣而结婚， 对享乐过度热爱确实达到了如此程度， 以致他们引诱自己妻子。

If much comfort cannot be expected from the friendship of a reformed rake of superior abilities, what is the consequence when he lacketh sense, as well as principles? Verily misery in its most hideous shape.

如果不能指望与一位能力出众改过自新浪荡子友谊带来多少安慰，那么当他既缺乏理智又缺乏原则时，会产生什么后果？真正苦难以其最可怕形式出现。

He, looking at my wife, as all debauches look at beautiful women, with an air of being interested solely in the subject of conversation, --that is, in that which did not interest him at all.

他看着我妻子，就像所有浪荡子看着美丽女人一样，带着一种只对谈话话题感兴趣神情——也就是说，对他根本不感兴趣话题。

Yes, let me tell the libertine of fancy when he despises understanding in woman — that the mind, which he disregards, gives life to the enthusiastic affection from which rapture, short-lived as it is, alone can flow!

是，当他轻视女人理解时，让我告诉幻想浪荡子——他所忽视思想赋予了热情感情生命，只有狂喜，虽然它是短暂，但只能从中流露出来！

He had taken for granted that it would be some tough, well-used slattern with dead eyes-a hard, sullen woman who had 'gone the route' and whose body was no longer of any interest to the gang she worked for.

他理所当然地认为这将是一个强硬、惯用浪荡子，有着死气沉沉眼神——一个冷酷、阴沉女人，她已经“走上了这条路” ，她身体不再对她工作帮派有任何兴趣。

Is not their folly the by-word of the libertines, who relax in their society; and do not men of sense continually lament, that an immoderate fondness for dress and dissipation carries the mother of a family for ever from home?

他们愚蠢难道不是那在社交中放松浪荡子代名词吗？ 有理智人难道不会不断地哀叹， 对衣着和放荡过度爱好使一个家庭母亲永远离开了家吗？

Her visits were prompted by friendship merely, but the suspicion gradually entered the brain of Epps, that another and a baser passion led her thither—that it was not Harriet she desired to meet, but rather the unblushing libertine, his neighbor.

她拜访仅仅是出于友谊，但埃普斯逐渐开始怀疑，是另一种更卑鄙激情把她带到了那里——她想见不是哈丽特， 而是他邻居那个毫不脸红浪荡子。
