[4] Translatethe selection into Chinese.

此时此刻西里尔·博吉斯先生装扮成一位身着礼服的神职人员，除此之外，倒也看不出他有什么邪恶阴险之处。他的职业是古董家具经销商，在伦敦切尔西区国王大道有自己的店铺和展示厅。他的营业场所不大，通常生意做得也不大，不过由于他能以极低极低的价格买进，又以极高极高的价格卖出，每年都能小赚一把。博吉斯先生天生会做生意，无论是买还是卖，他都能一下看准各类客户的心态，以最佳方式迎合他们。对长者，他既老成持重而又讨人喜欢；对富人，则巴结逢迎；对虔诚的圣徒，他态度严肃持重；对弱者，则派头十足说一不二；对寡妇，他会淘气调皮，故作天真；对老处女，佯装幽默，开一些粗俗的玩笑。他很清楚自己有这个才能，一有机会就肆无忌惮地加以使用。往往在他淋漓尽致的表演后，他真的只能拼命克制自己才能不站到一边，在剧场的观众发出如雷掌声时，向观众鞠躬表示谢意。

尽管博吉斯先生具有这种小丑般的特性，但他不是个傻瓜。事实上有人说他对法国、英国和意大利家具的了解不比其他伦敦人少。此外，他的鉴赏力也惊人的好，即使遇到一件真品，他也能很快看出设计品位不高而拒不收购。（摘自阿罗尔德·达尔《牧师之乐》）
