" What a strange creature that is; and what an odd affection for mountebanks" !

“这是多么奇怪的生物；对江湖骗子的喜爱是多么奇怪”！

In the street a travelling circus was passing, with mountebanks on donkeys and harlequins in parti-coloured dresses.

街上有一个巡回马戏团经过，江湖上的江湖骗子骑着驴子，小丑穿着五颜六色的裙子。

" If he is a mountebank I am afraid he's a very dangerous one" .

“如果他是江湖骗子，恐怕他是一个非常危险的人”。

He was a little surprised at their keeping the whole committee waiting to look at a strolling company of mountebanks.

他有点惊讶他们让整个委员会等着看一群走江湖的江湖骗子。

He certainly would not have recognised Passepartout in the eccentric mountebank's costume;but the latter, lying on his back, perceived his master in the gallery.

当时路路通穿着那样奇怪的古装，福克先生当然不会认出他来，可是在台上仰卧着的路路通却看到了他的主人坐在花楼上的包厢里。

" Case of a fellow-feeling, I should think, " said Martini; " the man's a mountebank himself, if ever I saw one" .

“我想，这是一种同情心，”马蒂尼说。 “这个人本身就是个江湖骗子，如果我见过的话”。

When they arrived the mountebanks had set up their tent beside the town gate, and an abominable scraping of fiddles and banging of drums announced that the performance had begun.

当他们到达时，江湖骗子们已经在城门旁搭起帐篷，一阵可恶的提琴声和鼓声宣布演出开始了。
