I sometimes thought of standing my trial, for, although I could not deny the facts alleged in the several articles, yet I hoped they would admit of some extenuation.

有时我想受审，因为虽然我不能否认几篇文章中所指控的事实，但我希望他们能允许一些减刑。

'I declare, I've a good mind to face it out, and stand my trial. If I could only pick up my evidence! I cannot endure the thought of being in the power of such a blackguard as Leonards.

“我声明，我很想面对它，并经受住我的考验。要是我能拿出我的证据就好了！我无法忍受被伦纳德这样的无赖控制的想法。
