"What is his name?"
"Hall is his real name; but they call him Alky, because he drinks — Alky Hall; alcohol, you know. But he's given up drinking now, since I told him about temperance and lent him my Sargent's 'Temperance Tales.' I'll warrant you he'll never drink another drop." [Joseph Kirkland, "The McVeys," 1888]
“他叫什么名字?”
“他的真名是霍尔,但他们叫他阿尔基,因为他喝酒——阿尔基·霍尔;你知道的,就是酒精。但自从我告诉他禁酒的事,并借给他我的《禁酒故事》后,他就戒酒了。我敢打赌他再也不会喝一滴酒。” [约瑟夫·柯克兰,《麦克维家族》,1888年]
