" Be careful not to drink at Maule's well" !

“小心不要在 Maule 的井里喝酒” ！

Pyncheon Street formerly bore the humbler appellation of Maule's Lane, from the name of the original occupant of the soil, before whose cottage-door it was a cow-path.

品钦街以前的称呼更卑微，叫莫尔巷，这是这片土地原来的主人的名字，村舍门前是一条牛道。

Maule's Lane, or Pyncheon Street, as it were now more decorous to call it, was thronged, at the appointed hour, as with a congregation on its way to church.

Maule's Lane，或 Pyncheon Street，现在更得体地称呼它，在指定的时间挤满了人，就像去教堂的会众一样。

Impossible as he at first thought it to comply with Maule's conditions, still, on a second glance, Mr. Pyncheon was of opinion that they might at least be made matter of discussion.

起初他认为这不可能满足 Maule 的条件，但在第二眼看来，Pyncheon 先生认为至少可以讨论这些条件。
