（单词翻译）

A case of insanity¹?

‘Are you insinuating² that I am insane?’ the patient blurted³ out indignantly. ‘I insist that you release me immediately from this institution!’

‘Please rest at ease, my dear Mr.Brown. I have treated innumerable cases such as yours and have a great deal of insight. Patients who suffer from insanity invariably respond in the manner you have just done,’replied the doctor. ‘The medicine you are about to receive is a recent innovation for the treatment of senile dementia. It inhibits⁴ the violent mood swings that are common in patients such as yourself. We shall initiate⁵ your treatment right away, with an initial dose of just 10 milligrams. By the way, we seem to have a slight problem with our in-house records. Is your first name initial a ‘B’ or a ‘P’? ’

‘It’s ‘P’,’ Mr.Brown replied meekly⁶. ‘I want you to understand, doctor, you are hurting my innermost feelings.’

With the callousness⁷ innate⁸ in ruthless criminals, and paying no further attention to the patient, the doctor inserted the needle into Peter Brown’s lower arm and injected three times the recommended dose. Soon the inorganic⁹ chemical that was the main ingredient in the medicinal cocktail¹⁰ did its work, and Mr. P. Brown was inert¹¹ and incapacitated. The doctor, however, was just thinking of one thing: forging his patient’s will so as to get access to a substantial inheritance.

The doctor was quite certain that if any inquisitive¹² busybody were later to insist on an inquiry¹³, he would be found innocent.

一宗精神错乱的病例？

“你是在暗示我精神错乱吗？”病人愤慨地脱口而出。“我坚决要求你立即把握从这个收容所里放出去！”

“请放心，我亲爱的布朗先生。我治疗了无数像你这样的病例，很有见识。患有精神错乱的病人反应总是像你刚才那样。” 医生回答。“你将要吃的药是最近发明出来治疗老年痴呆的。它能抑制像你这样的病人常有的剧烈情绪波动。我们将马上开始对你的治疗，初始的剂量只有10毫克。顺便说一下，我们的住院记录有点小问题。你的名字的开头大写字母是’B’还是’P’?”

“是‘P’，”布朗先生谦恭地回答。“我想让你知道，医生，你伤害了我内心深处的感情。”

医生带着残忍的罪犯天生的无情，不再注意病人，将针插入彼得布朗的前臂，注射了推荐的剂量的三倍。很快，药用鸡尾酒的主要成分无机化合物发生作用了，P布朗先生变得迟钝，不能活动了。然而，医生正在想一件事情：伪造病人的遗嘱，那样可以得到大量的遗产。

医生非常确信，如果好奇的爱管闲事的人以后坚持要对此进行调查，也会发现他是清白无辜的
