'It is of no moment, ' said he, 'whether this person is to be expected back at any time, or the contrary.

“这无关紧要， ” 他说，“这个人是否随时会回来， 或者相反。

It may be of no moment to you; you have sisters and don’t care for a cousin; but I had nobody; and now three relations, —or two, if you don’t choose to be counted, —are born into my world full-grown.

这对你来说可能无关紧要；你有姐妹，不喜欢表亲；但我没有人；现在，三个亲戚——或者两个，如果你不想被算在内的话——出生在我的世界里，已经长大成人。
