10 句英文原文
" Then," said Miss Minchin," I appeal to Sara.
" Have YOU, Miss Minchin?" she said.
" I did not know that."
" You ought to have known it," said she;" but children, unfortunately, never know what is best for them.
中文翻译
但这取决于萨拉。"
“那么,”明钦小姐说,“我向萨拉呼吁。
“我或许没有宠坏你,”她尴尬地对小女孩说,“但你知道你爸爸对你的进步很满意。”
而且——呃哼——我一直都很喜欢你。”
莎拉那双灰绿色的眼睛安静而清晰地注视着她,这种眼神是明钦小姐特别讨厌的。
"你有吗,明钦小姐?"她说道。
“我原来不知道那件事。”
明钦小姐脸红了,挺直了身子。
“你本该知道的,”她说;“但不幸的是,孩子们从来不知道什么对他们最好。”
阿米莉亚和我总是说你是学校里最聪明的孩子。
