2.尽管西里尔博吉斯先生有着这种小丑的品性,但他并不是个傻子。事实上据说他像伦敦的其他人一样对法国、英国、意大利家具有着相当的了解。同时他还有着相当好的品味,即使遇到一件真货也能迅速地鉴别出从而拒绝其不够优美的设计。
1.在此刻,西里尔博吉斯先生装扮成一个个身穿制服的牧师,除了这个事实外,他并没有显示出其他什么邪恶之处。他是做古董家具买卖生意的,在切尔西区国王大街有自己的店铺和陈列室。他的经营场所并不大,一般来说他的生意做得也不是很大。但是由于他总是能以非常非常低的价格买入再以非常非常高的价格卖出,所以他每年都能赚得一笔不小的收入。他天生就是一个推销员,在卖东西时他能轻易调整到最合适的情绪态度来迎合他的顾客。碰到年长的客户,他就变得既严肃又和蔼可亲(讨人喜欢);碰到有钱人就变得谄媚;碰上信徒,就变得严肃沉着;碰上弱者就变得高高在上好似能掌控一切;碰到寡妇就去胡搅捉弄;碰到老女人他又会去挑逗调笑。他充分地认识到了自己这方面的天赋因而在各种场合下都毫无顾忌低去使用。常常在他的精彩表演结束时,他得尽自己最大所能才得以阻止自己站到一旁,当剧场中响起雷鸣般的掌声时给观众们鞠几个躬。
2.In spite of this rather clownish quality of his,Mr.Boggiswas not a fool. In fact it was said of him by some that he probably knew asmuchabout French, English andItalianfurnitureas anyone else in London.He also had surprisingly good taste, and he was quick torecognize and reject an ungraceful design, however genuine the article might be.

牧师的乐趣
1.Apart from the fact that he was at this moment disguised in the uniformof clergyman, there was nothingverysinisteraboutMr.CyrilBoggis. By trade he was a dealer in antique furniture, with his shop and showroom in the King’s Road, Chelsea. His premises were not large, andgenerallyhe didn’t do a great deal ofbusiness, but because he always boughtcheap, veryverycheap, and sold veryverydear, he managed to make quite a tidy little income each year. He was talentedsalesman, and when buying or selling a piecehe could slide smoothly into whichever mood suited the clientbest.He could becomegrave and charmingfor the aged, obsequious for the rich, sober for thegodly, masterfulfor the weak,mischievousfor the wisdom,arch and saucyfor the spinster.He was well aware of his gift, using itshamelesslyon every possible occasion; and often at the end of anunusuallygood performance, it was asmuchas he could do to prevent himself from turning aside and taking a bow or two as the thundering applause of the audience went rolling through the theater.
