1. Summits sometimes dissuade leaders from beggaring their neighbours, since the neighbours' complaints may have to be faced in person. 高层面对面的会谈通常会阻止（dissuade from）一些领导人使其邻邦陷入贫苦（注意：beggaring是“使陷入贫困”，而不是begging，乞求），因为他们必须亲自面对（in person）自邻国的抱怨。
2. Would any honourable man have drawn up a deed of that kind without letting me know first?Well, it was to prevent you beggaring yourself for the benefit of some loose woman that brought me to Paris. 一个上流社会有教养的人能不通知我就办这样一件事吗?好吧，我就是为了不让您因一个姑娘而做败家子才到巴黎来的。
