10 句英文原文
" You know they put her head on a pike and danced round it," Sara explained.
" And she had beautiful floating blonde hair; and when I think of her, I never see her head on her body, but always on a pike, with those furious people dancing and howling."
" Now let's tell each other things," said Sara.
" How are you getting on with your French lessons?"
" Ever so much better since the last time I came up here and you explained the conjugations.
" She doesn't understand why Lottie is doing her sums so well," she said;" but it is because she creeps up here, too, and I help her."
中文翻译

“她有一头美丽的飘逸金发;而每当我想到她时,我从未看到她的头长在身体上,而总是插在一根长矛上,周围是那些愤怒的人群在跳舞和嚎叫。”
大家同意将他们的计划告诉圣约翰先生,而目前这些书将留在阁楼里。
"现在让我们互相告诉一些事情吧,"萨拉说。
你的法语课上得怎么样了?
自从上次我来这里你解释了动词变位之后,情况好多了。
明钦小姐无法理解为什么我在第一个早上就把练习做得那么好。"
萨拉轻声笑了笑,抱住了自己的膝盖。
“她不明白为什么洛蒂的算术做得这么好,”她说;“但这是因为她也偷偷溜到这里来,而我帮助了她。”
