A Room with a View — Page 5

巴特利特小姐则更为克制地说道：
The clergyman, who had the air of one on a holiday, did not remember the ladies quite as clearly as they remembered him.
这位牧师一副度假的神情，对这两位女士的记忆远不如她们对他的记忆那般清晰。
But he came forward pleasantly enough and accepted the chair into which he was beckoned by Lucy.
但他仍愉快地走上前来，在露西示意的椅子上坐了下来。
