Source text - Mandarin Chinese
Corky used to go to him about once every three months and let him talk about American birds. Apparently you could do what you liked with old Worple if you gave him his head first on his pet subject, so these little chats used to make Corky’s allowance all right for the time being. But it was pretty rotten for the poor chap. There was the frightful suspense, you see, and, apart from that, birds, except when broiled and in the society of a cold bottle, bored him stiff. | Translation - Mandarin Chinese
老柯以前大概每三個月左右就去見他一次聊聊美洲鳥類。很顯然只要你能讓老沃普在他喜歡的話題上暢所欲言，你就能在他身上得到自己想要的東西，這些談天曾經確保了老柯的生活費無虞。但對這可憐的傢伙來說這很不容易，因為可怕的是，說到鳥，只有在牠們出現在宴會的菜餚上的時候，才不會讓他感到無聊頭頂。 |
