凡是有钱的单身汉,总想娶位太太,这已经成了一条举世公认的真理。这样的单身汉,每逢新搬到一个地方,四邻八舍虽然完全不了解他的性情如何,见解如何,可是,既然这样的一条真理早已在人们心目中根深蒂固,因此人们总是把他看作自己某一个女儿理所应得的一笔财产。It has become a universally recognized truth that wealthy bachelors always want to marry a wife. This kind of bachelor, every time he moves to a new place, although his neighbors have no idea about his temperament or opinions, since this truth has long been deeply rooted in people's minds, they always regard him as a rightful asset for one of their daughters.
