Nicholas Nickleby

Thus two people who cannot afford to play cards for money, sometimes sit down to a quiet game for love.

因此，有些人负担不起以金钱为赌注打牌，有时会坐下来安静地玩一场爱情游戏。

A painter who has gazed too long upon some glaring colour, refreshes his dazzled sight by looking upon a darker and more sombre tint; but everything that met Mr. Nickleby’s gaze wore so black and gloomy a hue, that he would have been beyond description refreshed by the very reverse of the contrast.

一个画家如果长时间注视某种刺眼的颜色，会通过看一种更暗淡的色调来恢复视力；但尼古尔比先生所见的一切都是如此黑暗和阴郁，以至于他如果能看到完全相反的对比，将会感到无比的舒畅。
