原文内容
10 句英文原文
" By the way, there is one next door."
" Then we will begin there.
" No," said Carrisford.
" There is a child there who interests me; but she is not a pupil.
" Sahib," he said," the child herself has come-- the child the sahib felt pity for.
中文翻译
顺便说一下,隔壁就有一个。
“那么我们将从那里开始。
我们无法从比隔壁更近的地方开始。
“不,”卡里斯福德说。
那里有一个让我感兴趣的孩子;但她不是学生。
而她是一个有些黝黑、孤苦伶仃的小家伙,和可怜的克鲁一点也不像。
也许就在那一刻,魔法再次发挥了作用——那美妙的魔法。
这看起来真的好像可能是这样。
是什么让拉姆·达斯进入房间——甚至在他的主人说话时——恭敬地行额手礼,但他那双乌黑发亮的眼睛里却带着一丝几乎难以掩饰的兴奋?
"大人,"他说,"那孩子自己来了——就是那位大人怜悯的孩子。"
