Over this chaplet my brother Bartholomew and I had some little discussion.

关于这串项圈，的哥哥巴索洛谬和也曾经讨论过。

We could judge the splendour of the missing riches by the chaplet which he had taken out.

们从那个拿出来的项圈就可以推想到这批遗失的宝物是多么贵重了。

He thought, too, that if we parted with the chaplet it might give rise to gossip and finally bring us into trouble.

他又想到，如果把项圈送人，可能会引起些无谓的闲话，最后还可能给们找来麻烦。
