The transition from libertine to prig was so complete.

徒色鬼竟然摇身变就成了道学先生。

How much more modest is the libertine who obeys the call of appetite or fancy, than the lewd joker who sets the table in a roar.

听从食欲幻召唤荡子， 比起喧闹摆桌下流小丑要谦虚得多。

Let the libertine draw what inference he pleases; but, I hope, that no sensible mother will restrain the natural frankness of youth, by instilling such indecent cautions.

让荡子随心所欲地得出结论；但是，我希望任何明智母亲都不会通过灌输这种不雅警告来抑制年轻人天生坦率。

To such lengths, indeed, does an intemperate love of pleasure carry some prudent men, or worn out libertines, who marry to have a safe companion, that they seduce their own wives.

确实，某些精明男人精疲力竭荡子为了找安全伴侣而结婚， 对享乐过度热爱确实达到了如此程度， 以致他们引诱自己妻子。

I know that libertines will also exclaim, that woman would be unsexed by acquiring strength of body and mind, and that beauty, soft bewitching beauty! would no longer adorn the daughters of men.

我知道荡子们也会感叹，那女人修了身心力量就没有性欲了，那美，柔媚美！不再装饰人类女儿。

Yes, let me tell the libertine of fancy when he despises understanding in woman — that the mind, which he disregards, gives life to the enthusiastic affection from which rapture, short-lived as it is, alone can flow!

是，当他轻视女人理解时，让我告诉幻荡子——他所忽视思赋予了热情感情生命，只有狂喜，虽然它是短暂，但只能从中流露出来！

The glance of a man accustomed to draw enormous interest from his capital acquires, like that of the libertine, the gambler, or the sycophant, certain indefinable habits, —furtive, eager, mysterious movements, which never escape the notice of his co-religionists.

习惯于从他资本中获得巨大利益人目光，就像荡子、赌徒马屁精目光样，会养成某些难以形容习惯——偷偷摸摸、急切、神秘动作，这些动作永远不会逃过他同教徒注意.

Her visits were prompted by friendship merely, but the suspicion gradually entered the brain of Epps, that another and a baser passion led her thither—that it was not Harriet she desired to meet, but rather the unblushing libertine, his neighbor.

她拜访仅仅是出于友谊，但埃普斯逐渐开始怀疑，是另种更卑鄙激情把她带到了那里——她见不是哈丽特， 而是他邻居那毫不脸红荡子。

Is not their folly the by-word of the libertines, who relax in their society; and do not men of sense continually lament, that an immoderate fondness for dress and dissipation carries the mother of a family for ever from home?

他们愚蠢难道不是那些在社交中放松荡子代名词吗？ 有理智人难道不会不断地哀叹， 对衣着和放荡过度爱好使家庭母亲永远离开了家吗？
