《柯林斯英汉双解大词典》
The next morning, as I was looking listlessly over the papers at breakfast, I came across this paragraph: PERJURY—Mr. Mark Twain, a candidate for Governor, was convicted of perjury by thirty-four people, in Wakawak, in 1863. He intended to rob a poor woman of her land, her only stay and support after her husband died.
第二天早上,我吃早餐时无精打采地看着报纸,看到了这段话:1863年,于瓦卡瓦克,34人控告州长候选人马克吐温先生作伪证。他打算掠夺一个贫穷女人的土地,她丈夫死后,这块地是她唯一的容身之所和支撑。
