Admitted grudgingly to restaurants because of the law, and then insulted or neglected there, so that next time we’d rather go hungry --- so than we’d rather walk the streets all of a winter night than ask for a room in what you’d call a good hotel. So that John and I, who would be admitted, hate to take a hotel room when we travel, with our own brothers driven to the streets.

由于法律的缘故，我们被勉强地允许进入饭店，而后却在那儿受到侮辱或怠慢，所以下一回我们宁肯饿肚子--- 所以我们宁肯整整一个冬夜徘徊街头，也不愿在你们所谓的舒适的旅馆里租一间客房。所以我和约翰旅行时尽管能住进旅馆，但在我们的弟兄被赶上大街的时候，我们是决不会在旅馆过夜的。

1. Admitted grudgingly to restaurants because of the law, and then insulted or neglected there, so that next time we’d rather go hungry --- so than we’d rather walk the streets all of a winter night than ask for a room in what you’d call a good hotel. So that John and I, who would be admitted, hate to take a hotel room when we travel, with our own brothers driven to the streets: For legal reasons, we were reluctantly allowed to enter the hotel, but then we were insulted or treated rudely there. So next time we would rather go hungry - so we would rather wander the streets for a whole winter night than rent a room in what you call a comfortable hotel. So although John and I could stay in hotels when we were traveling, we would never stay overnight in a hotel when our brother was caught on the street.

出于法律原因，我们勉强被允许进入酒店，但随后我们在那里受到了侮辱或粗鲁的对待。所以下次我们宁愿挨饿——我们宁愿在街上流浪一整个冬夜，也不愿在你们所说的舒适旅馆里租一个房间。所以，虽然约翰和我在旅行时可以住旅馆，但当我们的兄弟在街上被抓住时，我们绝不会在旅馆过夜。

2. grudgingly: reluctantly, unwillingly勉强地，不情愿地

His employer grudgingly raised his salary. 他的老板很不乐意地给他提了工资。
