原文内容
10 句英文原文
" And the wretched woman actually did not know where they had taken her!" exclaimed Mr. Carrisford.
" She was a shrewd, worldly Frenchwoman, and was evidently only too glad to get the child so comfortably off her hands when the father's death left her totally unprovided for."
" But you say `IF the child was the one I am in search of.
" Madame Pascal pronounced it as if it were Carew instead of Crewe-- but that might be merely a matter of pronunciation.
中文翻译
“那个可怜的女人竟然不知道他们把她带去了哪里!”卡里斯福德先生喊道。
卡迈克尔先生耸了耸肩。
她是个精明世故的法国女人,显然,当父亲的去世让她完全失去经济来源时,她非常乐意能如此轻松地摆脱这个孩子。
像她那样的女人不会为那些可能成为负担的孩子的未来而烦恼。
养父母显然消失了,没有留下任何痕迹。
但你说‘如果这孩子正是我在寻找的那个人。
你说‘如果。’
我们不太确定。
名字上存在差异。"
帕斯卡夫人把它念成Carew而不是Crewe——但这可能只是个发音问题。
