Mr Sevier apparently sought a marriage licence for himself and his machine spouse, but for some reason was denied. 塞维尔要为自己和他的机器伴侣索要一个结婚证书,但是被拒绝了。
The marriage being by licence there were only a dozen or so of people in the church; had there been a thousand they would have produced no more effect upon her. 他们的婚姻是采用的许可证办法,因此教堂里只有十二三个人;不过即使有一千个人出席,对她也不会产生太大的影响。
