My dear friend, Mathilde. Let me tell you something. That necklace you borrowed from me wasn't a real diamond necklace. It wasn't valuable at all. The stones in the necklace were made of glass. It was worth five hundred francs at the most.
瑪蒂爾德，我親愛的朋友。讓我告訴你吧。你向我借的那條項鏈并不是一條真的鉆石項鏈。那條項鏈根本不值錢。項鏈中的寶石是玻璃做的。它最多值500法郎。
