I cannot acquit myself of having indirectly contributed to debauch the taste of a simple folk; but I hope that the end I had in view may finally outbalance this heavy charge.

我不能为自己间接促成败坏一个普通人的品味而开脱罪责；但我希望我所期望的结果最终能够抵消这一沉重的负担。

For such reasons, I was very glad when ten o'clock came and we started for Miss Havisham's; though I was not at all at my ease regarding the manner in which I should acquit myself under that lady's roof.

出于这样的原因，我很高兴，当十点钟来了，我们开始为哈维舍姆小姐的：虽然我对在那个女士的屋檐下无罪释放的方式一点也不放心。
