原文内容
10 句英文原文
" Oh, no!" she said.
" Oh, no, thank you; I mustn't take it, indeed!"
" Yes, you must take it, poor little girl!" he insisted stoutly.
中文翻译
我会把它给你。"
莎拉吃了一惊,猛然意识到自己看起来完全像她曾经见过的那些穷孩子——在她境况更好的日子里,那些孩子等在路边,看着她从马车里下来。
而且她曾多次给过他们便士。
她的脸先是变红,然后又变得苍白,有那么一瞬间,她觉得自己好像无法收下那枚可爱的小六便士。
“哦,不!”她说道。
“哦,不,谢谢你;我真的不能收下它,真的!”
她的声音与普通街头孩子的声音如此不同,她的举止又如此像一位有教养的小人儿,以至于维罗妮卡·尤斯塔西亚(真名是珍妮特)和罗莎琳德·格拉迪斯(真名叫诺拉)都倾身向前倾听。
但盖伊·克拉伦斯不会让他的善举受阻。
他把那六便士塞进了她的手里。
“是的,你必须收下它,可怜的小姑娘!”他坚定地坚持道。
