Mr. Rochester continued: "Adèle showed me some sketches this morning, which she said were yours.
罗切斯特先生继续说："今天早上阿黛勒把一些速写给我看了，她说是你画的。
I don't know whether they were entirely of your doing. Probably a master aided you?"
我不知道是不是完全由你一个人画的，也许某个画师帮助了你？"
"No, indeed!" I interjected.
"没有，说真的！"我冲口叫了起来。
Ah! that pricks pride.
噢，那伤了你的自尊。
Well, fetch me your portfolio, if you can vouch for its contents being original.
好吧，把你的画夹拿来，要是你能担保里面的画是自己创作的。
But don't pass your word unless you are certain. I can recognise patchwork.
不过你没有把握就别吭声，我认得出拼拼凑凑的东西。
