原文内容
10 句英文原文
" What are you staring at?" demanded Miss Minchin, sharply.
" Are you so stupid that you cannot understand?
" I understand," answered Sara, in a low tone; and there was a sound as if she had gulped down something which rose in her throat.
" I understand."
" That doll," cried Miss Minchin, pointing to the splendid birthday gift seated near--" that ridiculous doll, with all her nonsensical, extravagant things-- I actually paid the bill for her!"
" The Last Doll," she said.
" The Last Doll."
中文翻译
“你在盯着什么看?”明钦小姐厉声问道。
"你难道蠢到无法理解吗?
我告诉你,你在这个世界上相当孤独,没有人会为你做任何事,除非我出于慈善选择把你留在这里。
“我明白了,”萨拉低声回答;接着传来一阵声响,仿佛她咽下了喉咙里涌上来的什么东西。
“我明白了。”
“那个娃娃,”明钦小姐指着坐在附近的华丽生日礼物喊道——“那个可笑的娃娃,还有她所有荒唐、奢侈的东西——我居然为她付了账单!”
萨拉把头转向椅子。
“最后一个娃娃,”她说道。
“最后的娃娃。”
而她小小的、悲伤的声音听起来有些奇怪。
