10 句英文原文
" She is like the others," she had thought.
" She does not really want to talk to me.
中文翻译
然后她一言不发地从她身边走了过去。
随着时间的推移,她意识到,如果不是她的悲惨遭遇让她忘记了事情,她本应知道,可怜、迟钝的厄门加德不应该因为她那未准备好、笨拙的方式而受到责备。
她总是笨手笨脚的,而且她越是有感觉,就越是表现得愚蠢。
但那个突然闪现在她脑海中的念头让她变得过度敏感。
“她和其他人一样,”她曾想。
她并不是真的想和我说话。
她知道没有人会这样做。"
因此,有好几个星期,他们之间都隔着一道屏障。
当她们偶然相遇时,莎拉把目光转向了别处,而厄门加德则感到过于僵硬和尴尬,以至于说不出话来。
有时他们路过时会互相点头致意,但也有时候他们甚至连一声问候都不交换。
