The situation was not prepossessing--Augustine was a strong woman and could be disarmed only at the risk of serious results to herself--and severe legal complications which were the lot of one who molested a French citizen.

这种情况并不讨人喜欢——奥古斯丁是一个坚强的女人， 只有在给自己带来严重后果的风险下才能解除武装——以及严重的法律并发症， 这是骚扰法国公民的命运。
