With a stray boyishness he saw himself a power upon the earth; with his grandfather's money he might build his own pedestal and be a Talleyrand, a Lord Verulam.

带着一种流浪的孩子气，他看到自己是地球上的一股力量；他可以用他祖父的钱建造自己的基座，成为塔列朗，维鲁拉姆勋爵。

Among the rank and file of rustics he was quite a Talleyrand, or rather had been one, till he lost a good deal of his self-command by falling in love.

在普通的乡下人中，他完全是一个塔列朗，或者更确切地说，他曾经是一个，直到他因坠入爱河而失去了很多自制力。
