| 31. | It was at five in the afternoon and the place was crowded with merchants, actors, managers, politicians, a goodly company of rotund, rosy figures, silk-hatted, starchy-bosomed, beringed and bescarfpinned to the queen's taste. |
| 满厅是脸色红润大腹便便的人群，都戴着丝礼帽，穿着浆过的衬衫，手上戴着戒指，领带上别着饰针，真是尽善尽美，无可挑剔。 |

| 32. | He saw by portly keepers, whose shirt fronts shone with large diamonds, and whose clothes were properly cut, that the liquor business here, as elsewhere, yielded the same golden profit. |
| 那些大腹便便的店主的衬衫前襟上闪耀着大块的钻石，穿的衣服裁剪合身。 他从他们身上看出，这里的卖酒生意和其它地方一样，赢利很高。 |

| 33. | Carrie acquiesced, and that evening met the portly Vance, an individual a few years younger than Hurstwood, and who owed his seemingly comfortable matrimonial state much more to his money than to his good looks. |
| 嘉莉答应了，那天晚上见到了大腹便便的万斯。 他比赫斯渥小几岁。 他那看似美满的婚姻，多半是因为他有钱，而不是因为他有副好长相。 |

| 34. | For one thing, the five New York Dons were in the old Sicilian tradition, they were "men with a belly" meaning, figuratively, power and courage; and literally, physical flesh, as if the two went together, as indeed they seem to have done in Sicily. |
| 这五位老头子仍然保留着古老的西西里传统，都是“大腹便便的人物”。 从象征意义上来讲，表示着力量和勇气，从字面的意义上来讲，表示着心宽体胖，而这两方面的含义总是互为表里的，实际上在西西里也确实是如此。 |
