这种想法非常令人震惊。但是特里林成功的为他开脱：你可以随便我评论我叔叔本尼，但是他从未以放贷人为生。
The thought is rather appalling, but Mr Trillin makes it work for him: "You can say what you want to about my Uncle Benny, but he never made his living as a money lender."
这个玩笑开得很大，但特里林先生觉得它很得当：你可以多我叔叔本尼说任何你想说的话，但他从不会把自己的生活弄的像一个放款人一样。
'I am sorry, with all my heart, to find you like this. I have never wanted to argue with you. But I came to see you and invite you because it's Christmas, and so I'll say, a merry Christmas, uncle! '
看到你这样，我真感到难过，我从来就没想过要与你争吵，但我来是为了看看你并邀请你，因为是圣诞节，所以我要说一声，舅舅，圣诞快乐！
