But to Murphy and Dolan, the two Irish immigrants who had enjoyed unfettered power over the county for years, the idea of a well-heeled Englishman moving in on their turf was unthinkable.
但对于墨菲和多兰这两位多年来在该县享有不受约束的权力的爱尔兰移民来说,一个富有的英国人搬到他们的地盘上的想法是不可想象的。

Fredrick Nolan, Historian: You think they're going to sit still and let this bloody Englishman come in and take it all off them?
弗雷德里克·诺兰,历史学家:你认为他们会袖手旁观,让这个该死的英国人进来把他们的一切夺走吗?
This is the very kind of Englishmen that's kept our people under their heel and, and ground us into the dirt and made us starve and now he thinks he's going to come out here and take this off us, after what we've had to do to get it?
就是这样的英国人,他们把我们的人民踩在脚下,把我们碾成泥,让我们挨饿,现在他认为他要出来,把这一切从我们身上夺走,在我们付出了一切努力之后?
You've got to be kidding me.
