" How are you, Mr Micawber? " I asked. " Do you remember me? "

“你好吗，米考伯先生？” 我问道，“还记得我吗？”

Mrs Micawber was a thin, tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms.

米考伯太太是个消瘦、一脸倦容的女人，怀里抱着婴儿。

Just then Mr Micawber himself knocked at the door and entered.

正在这时，米考伯先生本人敲了敲门进来了。

When the authorities take Mr Micawber off to prison, David runs away to Dover to take refuge with his aunt.

就在当局把Micawber先生送进监狱时，David又跑到多佛去和他姑姑住在一起。

Mr and Mrs Micawber's moods varied according to the situation.

" And tell me, Traddles, how is Mr Micawber? "

“告诉我，特拉德尔，米考伯先生怎么样了？”

" I know him! Why would Mr Micawber want to work for him? "

“我知道他！米考伯先生怎么会想到给他干？”

But as Mr Micawber is for the moment in difficulties, I must of course accept the situation.

但是，如今米考伯先生正处于困难时期，我当然必须接受这种现状。

" May I ask what you will do, madam, when Mr Micawber is free? " I asked politely.

I was becoming used to the Micawber's changes of mood.

Like Micawber, I hope for something better.

So his creditors were constantly at the door, demanding payment, and meals were rather irregular in the Micawber house.

所以，他的债主们就常常出现在他的家门口索取债务，而米考伯先生家中却常常是上顿不接下顿。

" Traddles, " I whispered, " take my advice -- don't lend Mr Micawber any money. He's got a lot of debts."

“特拉德尔，”我小声说道，“记住我的劝告——不要借钱给米考伯先生，他已债台高筑。”

The baby was one of twins, and in all my experience of the family, I never saw Mrs Micawber without at least one of the twins.

婴儿是双胞胎中的一个，我和这个家相处的经历中从未见到米考伯太太没抱孩子的时候。

I had to introduce him to the Heeps, but I did not think that Uriah would be a good influence on Mr Micawber.

我只好把他介绍给希普母子。但我并没想到尤赖亚后来会对米考伯先生产生巨大的影响。

I wondered why Heep wanted Micawber to work for him, and I felt sure Uriah had some evil plan in his ugly head.

我不明白希普为什么找米考伯给他干活，但我肯定尤赖亚丑陋的脑子里又在捉摸什么坏计划。

One moment Mr Micawber looked extremely miserable and depressed, the next he was brushing his shoes and singing a song before going out.

忽儿，米考伯先生看上去极其痛苦、消沉，忽儿，他又会边擦皮鞋边哼哼小曲儿准备外出。

But at last Mr Micawber's creditors became tired of waiting for their money, and went to the police, who arrested him for debt.

然而，米考伯先生的债主们最终没有耐心再等待下去，就找来警察，以拖欠债务之名拘捕了米考伯先生。

The little that Mr Micawber earned was not enough, either to keep his creditors happy, or to pay for the needs of his growing family.

米考伯先生仅有的一点收入远远不够，既不能让他的债主放心，也不能承担他那日见膨胀的家庭支出。
