「Then I described how his first impulse had been to lead him back to King's Pyland, and how the devil had shown him how he could hide the horse until the race was over, and how he had led it back and concealed it at Mapleton. When I told him every detail he gave it up and thought only of saving his own skin."
"But his stables had been searched?"
"Oh, and old horse-fakir like him has many adodge."
「然後我描述他如何在衝動下想將它帶回國王場，接著他心中的惡念使他如何想到可以將這匹馬一直藏到比賽結束之後，於是他如何帶回它並將它藏在麥坡頓。我告訴他每一項細節之後，他放棄了，只想到保存自己的顏面。」
「但他的馬廄不是被搜查過嗎？」
「哦，一個像他那樣騙馬的老手是有很多詭計的。」
many a:和many一樣，many a 也表示「許多」的意思，但用法不同。
簡單地說：many a+單數名詞=many + 名詞複數。
「many a+單數名詞」 做主語時，謂語動詞用單數。
例如：
Many a book has been stolen.
許多書被偷了。
Many a successful store has paid its rent cheerfully.
許多成功的店鋪都非常樂意地付了房租.
Many a customer has been lost through negligence of service.
由於服務不周失去了許多老主顧。
