刘四爷

他不肯去找刘四爷。

He didn 't want to seek out fourth master liu .

刘四爷的眼里不揉沙子。

No one could throw sand in fourth master liu 's eyes .

听到这个报告，刘四爷更火啦。

When he heard this , fourth master liu 's blood boiled .

刘四爷的大圆眼还盯着祥子。

Fourth Master Liu 's large round eyes were fixed on him .

刘四爷倒不在乎，只要有点声响就好。

But fourth Master Liu didn 't mind-he just wanted some noise .

刘四爷的大圆眼在祥子身上绕了绕，什么也没说。

Fourth Master Liu ran his eyes over him , but was silent .

刘四爷笑了。祥子把头低得更往下了些。

Fourth Master Liu smiled , and Xiangzi bent his head even lower .

刘四爷更没想到事情会弄到了这步天地。

Fourth Master Liu was even more flabbergasted .

祥子明白了，车上的是刘四爷！

Xiangzi realized it was fourth master liu !

刘四爷并非是好惹的人！

Fourth Master Liu was no easy customer !

刘四爷的手颤着走下来。

Fourth Master Liu climbed down , trembling .

刘四爷笑了笑，眼珠往心里转了两转。

Fourth master chuckled and winked to himself .

刘四爷是虎相。

Fourth Master Liu was like a tiger .

他所不放心的倒是刘四爷拿着他的那点钱。

What did worry him was his small savings in fourth master liu 's keeping .

在祥子眼里，刘四爷可以算作黄天霸。

In xiangzi 's eyes , fourth Master Liu could be compared to Huang the tyrant .

把碗放下，刚要出来，刘四爷把他叫住了。

He put down the bowl and was going out when the old man called him back .

刘四爷用眉毛梢儿问了句，“哪儿来的？”

Fourth master liu 's raised eyebrows asked more plainly than words ," where 's this money from ?"

初上来，大家以为他是向刘四爷献殷勤，狗事巴结人；

At first , everybody thought he was sucking up to Fourth Master Liu to get into his good books ;

大家敢怒而不敢言的在那里立着，心中并没有给刘四爷念着吉祥话儿。

They stood there , not daring to express the anger in their hearts , certainly not wishing Fourth Master Liu good luck .

刘四爷正在屋里喝茶呢，面前放着个大白炉子，火苗有半尺多高。

Fourth Master Liu was drinking tea in his room . Before him was a large white stove from which flames six inches high were leaping .

今早上你尽在找碴儿。刘四爷没答碴儿，想了想：话匣子呢？

You 're full of bull this morning . Fourth Master Liu did not answer-he was thinking . " Where 's the gramophone ?" he asked presently .

大家都愿意来，可是没胆子和刘四爷来，谁不知道他从前开过宝局！

They would all have liked to play but none had the courage to take on Fourth Master Liu , knowing that he had once run a gambling-den .

他的积蓄就交给刘四爷给存着。把钱凑够了数，他要过来，买上了那辆新车。

He had given his savings into fourth master liu 's keeping and , when he had made enough , had withdrawn them to buy his own rickshaw .

这种猜想里虽然怀着点妒羡，可是万一要真是这么回事呢，将来刘四爷一死，人和厂就一定归了祥子。

There was some envy in this speculation , but if by any chance it came true then harmony yard would be xiangzi 's after the old man 's death .

刘四爷很满意有这么多人来给他磕头祝寿。更足以自傲的是许多老朋友也赶着来贺喜。

Fourth Master Liu was gratified by the number of people who came to kowtow and congratulate him , and his elation increased with the arrival of many old friends to wish him a happy birthday .

祥子为这个刚跑回来，刘四爷又教他去给借麻将牌，借三四副，到日子非痛痛快快的赌一下不可。

No sooner was Xiangzi back from this errand than Fourth Master Liu ordered him to go and borrow three or four sets of mahjong , for on the great day they were going to have a good gamble .
