" Phoo! phoo" ! replied Charles, " what's an evening party? Never worth remembering. Your father might have asked us to dinner, I think, if he had wanted to see us. You may do as you like, but I shall go to the play" .

" 得啦！ 得啦！" 查尔斯回答说，" 一个晚会算什么？ 根本不值得放在心上。 我想，假使你父亲真想见见我们的话，他也许该请我们吃顿饭。 你爱怎么办就怎么办，反正我要去看戏。"
