1 Please lay the maxim to your heart.
请把此格言记在心里。
2 I could not go to Maxim now and beg him on my knees to give Favell the money.
3 If Maxim had been there I should not be lying as I was now, chewing a piece of grass, my eyes shut.
4 “I was saying to Maxim a few days ago we ought to have a record season. We shall be able to send a lot up to London.”
5 Of the wisdom of this maxim Mr. Slope was ignorant.
斯洛普先生对这句至理名言的明智之处一无所知.
6 “It’s Maxim. I’m speaking from the office. I’m with Frank.”
7 But according to the maxim, my response should be relevant to your statement.
但是根据这一准则,我的回答应该与你的陈述相关。
8 Then Maxim moved forward to the stairs, his eyes never leaving my face.
9 Whenever I get the chance I go to Maxim's for dinner.
我一有机会便去马克西姆餐厅吃饭。
10 Odd that it should occur on the only day Maxim was from home.
11 And then, Frank, I begin to wonder myself, and I begin to doubt, and I have a fearful haunting feeling that I should never have married Maxim, that we are not going to be happy.
12 It was heartless of Maxim to leave Jasper, I thought, and I could not understand it.
13 “No,” said Maxim, “he’s perfectly harmless, and I’ve always let him have the run of the place.”
14 “You think you can frighten me, don't you, Favell?” said Maxim.
15 “All right,” said Maxim, “take as many as you like.”
16 “If you wear that grubby skirt when you call on her I don’t suppose she does,” said Maxim.
17 Soon it would be filled with people, like the bishop’s wife had said, and Maxim would stand at the bottom of the stairs shaking hands with them, as they came into the hall.
18 “Quite right too,” said Giles, “Maxim is too superior altogether. The fact is he’s jealous, wishes he was dressing up like the rest of us, and doesn’t like to say so.”
19 Either to Maxim or to Rebecca, or perhaps even to himself.
20 It must be because Maxim had gone to London.
