How could Melly have been so — so — Well, there was no word for Melanie's action in taking in this old ruffian and not telling her friends he was a jailbird.

她不该收留这个老无赖，还不告诉朋友们他是个杀人。

You say your father was a con man, an occasional fantasist, an occasional jailbird, a crisis addict, a performance addict, a delusional enchanter who wrecked a lot of people's lives.

父亲是一个骗子，一个偶尔幻想家，一个偶尔囚，一个危机成瘾者，一个表演成瘾者，一个毁掉了很多人生想魔法师。

So very short. At the crucial point the Trust President is on the stand, a potential criminal needing but one push to be a jailbird, scorned by the upright for leagues around. Let him be acquitted—and in a year all is forgotten.

所以很短。在关键时刻，Trust President 出庭作证，一名潜在罪只需要轻轻一推就可以成为一名囚，受到周围联盟正直人士蔑视。让他被无罪释放——一年之内，一切都将被遗忘。
