他被一个好心的撒玛利亚人救起 恢复了健康

后来是异教♥徒♥把他乱棍打死 丢进了臭水沟

Congratulations are not in order. I’m in torment.
我并不是毫无同情心 海顿 你如此缺钱
I am not unsympathetic to your impecunity, Haydon.
我可以借给你50镑
Therefore I can advance you 50 pounds.
透纳 如果100镑都无法救我于困境
Turner, if 100 pounds will not spare me from this predicament,
看在上帝的份上 50镑能干什么呢
what in Jesu’s name can 50 pounds do?
那你这是拒绝接受这50镑了
Then you are refusing to accept the 50 pounds?

rather than pursuing his own peculiar convictions,
或许还能得到救赎
it would be his salvation.
但是 比奇先生 随着他个人问题变得严重
And yet, my dear Beechey, as his personal troubles increase,
他的画作质量也受到影响
so the quality of his painting suffers.
但是 这个人还是很有绘画才能的
