He then formed a resolution . as soon as his engagement with the patron of the young amelia ended , he would hire a small vessel on his own account - for in his several voyages he had amassed a hundred piastres - and under some pretext land at the island of monte cristo 于是他下了一个决心：只要他和少女阿梅丽号船长签订的合同期一满，他就自己花钱租一只小帆船，毕竟他在几次航行中，已积蓄了一百个毕阿士特埃及西班牙等国的货币名。
The curate related the incident to the count of san - felice , who sent for the little shepherd , made him read and write before him , ordered his attendant to let him eat with the domestics , and to give him two piastres a month . with this , luigi purchased books and pencils 教士把这桩奇闻讲给圣费里斯伯爵听，伯爵派人把小牧童叫了来，叫他当面写给他看，读给他听，吩咐他的贴身仆人让他和家仆一起吃饭，每个月给他两个毕阿士特，罗吉就用这笔钱来买书和铅笔。
" in two hours time , " said he , " these persons will depart richer by fifty piastres each , to go and risk their lives again by endeavoring to gain fifty more ; then they will return with a fortune of six hundred francs , and waste this treasure in some city with the pride of sultans and the insolence of nabobs “两小时之后， ”他说， “这些人就会每人分得五十个毕阿士特然后重新出发，冒着生命危险，再去挣上五十个毕阿士特。他们会带着一笔六百里弗的财富回家，然后带着象苏丹那样的骄傲，象印度富豪那样不可一世的神气，把这笔财富在某个城市里花得干干净净。
" and , as i am not a millionaire , like the gentleman in the next apartments , " said franz , " i warn you , that as i have been four times before at rome , i know the prices of all the carriages ; we will give you twelve piastres for to - day , tomorrow , and the day after , and then you will make a good profit . “我可不是一位百万富翁，不象我们那位邻居， ”弗兰兹说道， “我警告你，我到罗马来过四次了，各种马车的价钱我都知道。今天，明天，后天，我们一共给你十二个毕阿士特，那样你已经很可以赚一笔钱了。 ”
S presented jacopo with an entirely new vessel , accompanying the gift by a donation of one hundred piastres , that he might provide himself with a suitable crew and other requisites for his outfit , upon condition that he would go at once to marseilles for the purpose of inquiring after an old man named louis dant s , residing in the all es de meillan , and also a young woman called merc 第二天，唐太斯买了一艘全新的帆船送给了雅格布，另外还送了他一笔一百毕阿士特，使他可以雇一批合适的船员和购办其他必要的配备，不过附带了一个条件，就是必须马上到马赛去打听一个名叫路易唐太斯，住在梅朗巷的老人，和一个住在迦太罗尼亚人村，名叫美塞苔丝的年轻姑娘。
At last he arrived at the adventure of the preceding night , and the embarrassment in which he found himself placed by not having sufficient cash by six or seven hundred piastres to make up the sum required , and finally of his application to the count and the picturesque and satisfactory result that followed 这个协定，读者当然明白，他是最忠实地完成了的。最后，他讲到前一天晚上的那个奇遇，他为了六七百毕阿士特，如何感到为难，如何想起请伯爵帮忙的那个念兴所带来的圆满结果。
This , however , was nothing to a sculptor like vampa ; he examined the broken stock , calculated what change it would require to adapt the gun to his shoulder , and made a fresh stock , so beautifully carved that it would have fetched fifteen or twenty piastres , had he chosen to sell it . but nothing could be farther from his thoughts 他把那个旧枪托检查了一遍，计算着把它怎样改造一下才能使枪适合他的肩头，然后他做了一个新枪托，上面刻着极美丽的花纹，假如他愿意拿出去卖，准可以得到十五个或二十个毕阿士特，但他当然不会想到这一点。
Teresa was lively and gay , but coquettish to excess . the two piastres that luigi received every month from the count of san - felice s steward , and the price of all the little carvings in wood he sold at rome , were expended in ear - rings , necklaces , and gold hairpins . so that , thanks to her friend s generosity , teresa was the most beautiful and the best - attired peasant near rome 罗吉每月从圣德里斯伯爵的管家那儿得来的两个毕阿士特和他的木刻小玩意儿在罗马卖得的钱，都花在买耳环呀，项链呀和金发夹呀等等东西上去了，正是靠了她朋友的慷慨，德丽莎才成了罗马附近最美丽和打扮得最漂亮的农家女。
What i know is , that , like a fool , a greater fool than he of whom i spoke just now , i mistook for this peasant girl a young bandit of fifteen or sixteen , with a beardless chin and slim waist , and who , just as i was about to imprint a chaste salute on his lips , placed a pistol to my head , and , aided by seven or eight others , led , or rather dragged me , to the catacombs of st . sebastian , where i found a highly educated brigand chief perusing c ? sar s commentaries , and who deigned to leave off reading to inform me , that unless the next morning , before six o clock , four thousand piastres were paid into his account at his banker s , at a quarter past six i should have ceased to exist 我只知道自己当时象个傻瓜，一个大傻瓜，我错把这个下巴上没有胡须，腰肢纤细，年约十五六岁的男强盗看成是一个农家女了，正当我想在他的嘴唇上吻一下时，他忽然拿出一支手枪顶住我脑袋，另外还有七八支手枪过来帮忙，于是我被领到，或说得更准确些，是被拖到了圣塞巴斯蒂安的陵墓里。在那儿，我发现有一位受过高深教育的强盗正在那儿阅读凯撒历史回忆录，蒙他弃书赐教，告诉我说，除非我在第二天早晨六点钟以前拿出四千毕阿士特，否则到了六点一刻我就活不成了。
" my good friend , as in all probability i own my present safety to that influence , it would ill become me to search too closely into its source ; therefore , instead of condemning him for his intimacy with outlaws , you must give me leave to excuse any little irregularity there may be in such a connection ; not altogether for preserving my life , for my own idea was that it never was in much danger , but certainly for saving me 4 , 000 piastres , which , being translated , means neither more nor less than 24 , 000 livres of our money - a sum at which , most assuredly , i should never have been estimated in france , proving most indisputably , " added albert with a laugh , " that no prophet is honored in his own country . “我的好朋友，我现在的平安多半得归功于那种力量，这件事我不应该太刨根问底。所以，你不能要求我来责备他和不法之徒之间的这种密切关系，而应该让我原谅他在这种关系上越礼的细节，这倒决非是因为他保全了我的性命，而因为依我看，我的性命是不会有什么危险的，倒是给我省下了四千毕阿士特，四千毕阿特，换成我国的钱，要相当于两万四千里弗。这笔数目，要是我在法国被绑票是肯定不会被估的这么高的，这完全证实了那句俗话， ”阿尔贝大笑着说， “没有一个预言家能在他的本国受到尊崇。 ”
