求翻译：One day a lawyer's (律师) wife fell ill and he went to get a doctor. The doctor was glad to come to see the woman and to do what he could for her. But before he went into the house he stopped. He knew it was known to all that the lawyer would not pay others when he should. So he said to the man, "But if I do cure (治愈) your wife I am afraid you won't pay me."是什么意思？
