10 句英文原文
" Well, I think it's horrid," she said.
" They've no right to starve her to death."
" It was there when I wakened, miss--the blanket," she whispered excitedly.
" It was as real as it was last night."
中文翻译
她猛地一抖,拿起了她的书。
“唉,我觉得这太可怕了,”她说道。
他们没有权利把她饿死。
那天早上萨拉走进厨房时,厨师斜眼看着她,女仆们也是如此;但她匆匆地从她们身边走了过去。
事实上,她确实睡过头了一小会儿,而贝基也一样,两人都没时间见到对方,各自匆忙地下了楼。
萨拉走进了餐具洗涤室。
贝基正用力地擦洗着一个水壶,喉咙里还真的轻轻哼着一首小曲。
她抬起头,脸上洋溢着狂喜的神情。
“我醒来时它就在那儿,小姐——那条毯子,”她兴奋地低声说道。
它就像昨晚一样真实。
