when he learned of my downward path.

我是指我走下坡路这件事
But I weighed it against the power to do good

但是我又权衡了找到任何工作的
that all employment brings.

种种好处
Did you, now? And you thought all that.

是吗考虑得这么详细呢
I feel I could contain my skills and guide them

我觉得我可以将我的技艺用于
into a...more modest channel without loss of dignity.

稍低端一些的工作而不有失体面
- Just fancy! - So, all in all...

-真是太好了 -所以说
and after mature deliberation,

经过一番深思熟虑
you'll be pleased to hear that I can accept your offer.

您会很高兴知道我愿意接受这份工作
- What offer? - To replace Alfred as footman.

-什么工作 -接替阿尔弗雷德做男仆
Oh, dear, Mr Molesley. I'm afraid that Alfred's not leaving now.

莫斯利先生恐怕阿尔弗雷德不会离开了
It's a pity you didn't accept the job when we last talked.

可惜我们上次谈话时你没有接受这份工作
