It is run by a scruffy old man called Fagin.

它由一个叫做法金的的邋遢老头经营。

Fagin had told Oliver how ungrateful he had been to run away.

费金已告诉他，逃跑是件忘恩负义的事。

Fagin knew what he was doing.

费金很清楚他在干什么。

Fagin told Oliver how good the Dodger was at his job, and what a friendly boy Charley was.

费金告诉奥利弗，神偷干得多么巧妙，查理又是个多么友好的孩子。

Fagin entered at this point, with two young men, and joined in the conversation.

正在这时，费金与另外两个年轻人走了进来，参加谈天。

'What do you think he's thinking of, Fagin?

“你认为他在想什么，费金？

They never told the priest where the jewels were. Nor about old Fagin. Not even at the very end.

他们一直没告诉牧师珠宝在什么地方。也没把我老费金招出来。直到最后。

'I might have got clear off, if I'd split upon her; mightn't I, Fagin?

“如果我和她分手， 我可能会离开； 我可以吗，费金？

What about the boy? 'gasped Fagin.

" 那孩子怎么样了？他现在在哪儿？" 费金喘着气问。

Fagin nodded. But there was a difficulty. None of them wanted to go anywhere near a Police station.

费金连连点头。可现在有一个困难，没人愿意到警察局附近去。

'A word from me would have done it; wouldn't it, Fagin?

“我一句话就可以做到；不是吗，费金？

'But I didn't blab it; did I, Fagin?

“但我没有说出来；是吗，费金？

When he turned towards Fagin, the box had disappeared.

当他再转身看费金时，那只盒子已经不见了。

After a short pause, the Dodger reappeared, and whispered Fagin mysteriously.

短暂的停顿后，机灵鬼又出现了，神秘地低声对费金说道。

'You weren't awake an hour ago? ' Fagin asked fiercely, still holding the knife.

“一小时以前你没有醒吧？”他凶恶地问，手里仍然攥着那把刀。

He is also famous for the depiction of those horrible and grotesque characters like Fagin, Bill Sikes, and Quilp.

同时也擅长塑造可怕怪异的人物。

'Shut the door, ' whispered Fagin from the end of the passage.

“关上门， ” 过道尽头的费金低声说。

She rushed at Fagin and would have hit him if Sikes had not held her arms so tightly that she couldn't move.

她扑向费金，如果不是赛克斯抓住了她的胳膊，使她动不了的话，她会跟他撕打一番的。

' Fagin stealthily descended the kitchen stairs.

费金偷偷走下厨房的楼梯。

But it turned out a good job for you; didn't it, Fagin!

但事实证明这对你来说是一份好工作；不是吗，费金！
