-’Ah, true,’ replied the jeweller , and he reset the stone

‘啊，是的。’珠宝商回答道，于是把钻石重新镶好了。

--’Nevertheless,’ replied the jeweller , ’if by the time I have finished my supper the tempest has at all abated, I shall make another start.’

‘可是，’珠宝商答道，‘要是我吃完饭以后暴风雨已经停了，我还是要去尝试一次的，看看能否完成我的旅程。’

--’That is,’ replied the jeweller , ’I offered 40,000 francs.’

‘我出的价钱，’珠宝商回答说，‘是四万法郎。’

AS THE JEWELLER returned to the apartment, he cast around him a scrutinizing glance--but there was nothing to excite suspicion, if it did not exist, or to confirm it, if it were already awakened

“当珠宝商回到房间里来的时候，他小心地向四周环顾了一下，但房间里没什么可疑之处，即使他这时心里已有所怀疑，这种怀疑也是无法存在的，或无法证实的。

The jeweller took the ring, and drawing from his pocket a pair of steel pliers and a small set of copper scales, he took the stone out of its setting, and weighed it carefully. ’

“珠宝商接过了那只戒指，从他的口袋里摸出了一把钢钳和一个铜制的小天秤，把钻石从托子里拿出来，仔细地称了称。

The jeweller began eating his supper, and the woman, who was ordinarily so querulous and indifferent to all who approached her, was suddenly transformed into the most smiling and attentive hostess

“珠宝商开始吃起饭来，卡康脱女人则继续向他献小殷勤，象个小心的主妇一样。

The jeweller set a diamond in the ring.

宝石匠在戒指上镶了一粒宝石。

Caderousse took from his pocket a small case of black shagreen, opened, and gave it to the jeweller

卡德鲁斯从他的口袋里摸出了一只黑鲛皮的小盒子，打开盒子，把钻石交给了珠宝商。

--’Here they are,’ replied the jeweller , and he counted out upon the table 15,000 francs in gold, and 30,000 francs in bank-notes

卡德鲁斯用一种嘶哑的声音问道，‘来，我们先来看

said the jeweller , drenched with rain, ’I am not destined to return to Beaucaire to-night

那浑身被雨淋得透透的珠宝商说道，‘看来我今晚上是无法回布揆耳啦。

He remembered there was a clock over the front of a jeweller ’s shop a little way down the main road.

他记得离大街不远的一家珠宝店铺面上有一座钟。

You would need a jeweller ’s loupe the size of the Sun to grade this diamond.

要评价这颗钻石的等级，需要使用像太阳那么大的珠宝商专用放大镜。

With the work of a jeweller , like the cutting of a stamp, the names of the children of Israel are to be cut on them, and they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.

要用刻宝石的手工，仿佛刻图书，按着以色列儿子的名字，刻这两块宝石，要镶在金槽上。

And when the jeweller Johannes had just paid you 40,000 francs for the diamond I had given you, and you killed him to get the diamond and the money both, was that also poverty?"

再说，当珠宝商蒋尼斯向你买我给你的那只钻戒的时候，你刚刚拿到四万五千法郎，便立刻又杀死他，要把钻戒和钱同时到手，那也是为了穷吗?”

The jeweller ’s was cleared out by the soldiers of the enemy forces yesterday evening

这家珠宝店昨夜被敌军士兵洗劫一空。

The jeweller , meanwhile, was humming a song as he stood warming his back at the fire La Carconte had kindled to dry the wet garments of her guest

这时，卡康脱女人已生起了壁炉里的火，以便客人把湿衣服烤干，那珠宝商一边背向着火取暖，一边哼着小曲。

The jeweller will engrave the inside of the ring with her name.

珠宝匠将在戒指的内表面上刻上她的名字。

Joannes, the jeweller .’

珠宝商埃阿内呀。’

||1:In the biggest-ever takeover in the luxury-goods industry, LVMH, a French global conglomerate, announced its acquisition of Tiffany, an American jeweller founded in 1837 and known for its flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York.||2:LVMH is paying $16.9bn, more than the roughly $14.5bn that was suggested when the transaction was first mooted in late October.||3:The deal represents a success for Bernard Arnault, LVMH’s boss and controlling shareholder, who had courted Tiffany for some time.

||1:法国全球集团路易威登宣布收购蒂芙尼，这是奢侈品行业有史以来最大的一笔收购。蒂芙尼是一家成立于1837年的美国珠宝商，以其位于纽约第五大道的旗舰店而闻名。||2:路易威登集团将支付169亿美元，高于去年10月底首次提出交易时建议的约145亿美元。||3:对于路易威登集团的老板兼控股股东伯纳德·阿尔诺(Bernard Arnault)来说，这笔交易代表着一次成功，他向蒂芙尼示好已经有一阵子了。

||1: It is true that CTF has rivals, but it seems better positioned to conquer China. ||2: Luk Fook, for example, is another Hong Kong jeweller expanding rapidly on the mainland—but its strategy relies chiefly on using franchisees, whereas CTF ensures high quality and branding by directly controlling its far-flung outlets. ||3: Foreign firms are also expanding—Prada had a $2.5 billion stock placement in Hong Kong earlier this year, and Cartier has more than 110 bustling stores on the mainland—but they rarely stray outside the big cities.

||1:没错，“周大福”是有竞争对手，不过在赢得中国市场方面它似乎更有优势。||2: 举例来说，香港另外一家珠宝商“六福”（Luk Fook）是另外一家在中国内地迅速扩张的公司，但其战略主要是连锁经营，而“周大福”则是确保高品质、通过直接控制广泛的零售店打出自己的品牌。 ||3:外国公司同样不甘示弱：今年早些时候“普拉达”在香港发行25亿美元的股票配售，“卡地亚”在中国大陆有超过110家商店，来往顾客络绎不绝。不过在大城市之外鲜见它们的身影。

||1: That may be less lucrative than it hoped for, but do not shed any tears for Cheng Yu-tung, the firm’s billionaire boss. ||2: The weakness of this deal (which would still rank as one of the bigger placements this year) has more to do with market turmoil than any specific snags confronting CTF. ||3: Though almost unknown in the West, the firm is a goliath, with a reported $4.5 billion in sales last year, leaping ahead at a rate of over 50% a year. It is already more than twice the size of Tiffany & Co, a posh American jeweller . ||4: A recent analysis by George Washington University and L2, a think-tank, found the brand is better known in China than Rolex, Bulgari or Tiffany.

||1:那或许没有“周大福”期望的那么有利可图，但不要为其亿万富翁老板郑裕彤掉一滴眼泪。||2:股票发行有所削减（仍然是今年较大的一次发行），更多的是受市场波动的影响，而不是由于“周太福”本身的任何具体问题。||3:尽管西方对“周大福”几乎一无所知，但这家公司是头巨鳄。据报道它去年的销售额为45亿美元，以一年超过50%的速率跳跃式发展，其规模已是一流的美国珠宝商蒂芙尼的两倍还多。||4:近期由乔治?华盛顿大学和智库L2作出的分析发现，在中国，“周大福”这一品牌的知名度超过“劳力士”、“宝格丽”和“蒂芙尼”。

Two years ago the French group bought Bulgari, a jeweller , having netted Pucci, a maker of clothes and accessories, in 2000.

两年前，该法国集团买下了宝格丽珠宝品牌，而宝格丽在2000年已经收购了一家服饰制造商普齐。
