Her name, I later learnt, was Flimnap.

后来我知道，她的名字叫 Flimnap 。

Flimnap, I need some of your strongest rope and your heaviest iron bars.

Flimnap ，我需要一些你们最强韧的绳子和你们最重的铁棍。

I have some private reasons to believe, that this visit from his majesty gave Flimnap an opportunity of doing me ill offices to his master.

我有一些私人理由相信，陛下的这次访问给了弗利姆纳普一个机会，使我对他的主人不利。

Flimnap, the treasurer, is allowed to cut a caper on the straight rope, at least an inch higher than any other lord in the whole empire.

司库弗利姆纳普被允许在直绳上砍一个刺山柑，至少比整个帝国的其他领主高一英寸。

I learnt much later that the Queen was horrified by the way I'd extinguished the fire, even though Flimnap explained to her that if it hadn't been for me, the palace would have burnt down.

我后来才知道皇后对我浇灭大火的方式很不满，甚至还是 Flimnap 向她解释到，如果不是我，宫殿就会被烧塌。

I was assured that, a year or two before my arrival, Flimnap would infallibly have broke his neck, if one of the king's cushions, that accidentally lay on the ground, had not weakened the force of his fall.

我确信，在我到达之前的一两年，如果国王的一个垫子不小心掉在地上，没有削弱他跌倒的力量，Flimnap 肯定会摔断脖子。
