I met Glendinning at the rooms of a friend of mine, a Mr Preston ( who had no idea of my secret plan). Eight or ten other friends were also invited. 我在一位朋友家里碰见了格兰丁尼,这位朋友是普雷斯顿先生(他对我的秘密计划一无所知)。
Glendinning had drunk a lot of wine during the evening and his hands were beginning to shake a little – from fear or from the wine, I wasn't sure. 这一晚上格兰丁尼喝了不少酒,他的手都微微发抖了&是因为害怕还是因为醉酒,我拿不准。
Glendinning had covered his face with his hands and everyone clearly felt very sorry for him. 格兰丁尼用双手捂着脸,大家显然都为他感到难过。
