An english hero of the road would be the next best thing to an italian bandit ; and that could only be surpassed by a levantine pirate “就我喜好而言，一个英国的路盗仅次于一个意大利的土匪，而意大利的土匪稍逊于地中海的海盗。 ”

Ah , you call yourself oriental , a levantine , maltese , indian , chinese ; your family name is monte cristo ; sinbad the sailor is your baptismal appellation , and yet the first day you set foot in paris you instinctively display the greatest virtue , or rather the chief defect , of us eccentric parisians , - that is , you assume the vices you have not , and conceal the virtues you possess . 您自称为东方人，勒旺人，马耳他人，印度人，中国人。您的姓是基督山，水手辛巴德是您的教名，可是在您的脚踏上巴黎的第一天，您就自然具备我们这些反常的巴黎人的最大美德，或说得更确切些，我们的最大的缺点，就是，故意表白您所没有的污点，而掩饰了您固有的美德。 ”
