A Room with a View — Page 13

English → Chinese Chapter I Level 6/10

「

She proceeded no further into things, for Mr. Beebe reappeared, looking extremely pleasant.

她没有再深入说下去，因为比比先生重新出现了，神情显得格外愉快。

"Miss Bartlett," he cried, "it's all right about the rooms. I'm so glad. Mr. Emerson was talking about it in the smoking-room, and knowing what I did, I encouraged him to make the offer again. He has let me come and ask you. He would be so pleased."

「巴特利特小姐，」他喊道，「房间的事情已经解决了。我真高兴。爱默生先生在吸烟室谈到这件事，凭着我所了解的情况，我鼓励他再次提出这个请求。他让我来征求您的意见。他会非常高兴的。」

"Oh, Charlotte," cried Lucy to her cousin, "we must have the rooms now. The old man is just as nice and kind as he can be."

「噢，夏洛特，」露西向她的表姐喊道，「我们现在一定要接受那些房间。那位老先生真是再好不过了。」

Miss Bartlett was silent.

巴特利特小姐沉默不语。

"I fear," said Mr. Beebe, after a pause, "that I have been officious. I must apologize for my interference."

「我担心，」比比先生停顿片刻后说道，「我过于多管闲事了。我必须为我的干涉道歉。」

Gravely displeased, he turned to go.

他神情严肃地表示不满，转身欲离去。

Not till then did Miss Bartlett reply: "My own wishes, dearest Lucy, are unimportant in comparison with yours. It would be hard indeed if I stopped you doing as you liked at Florence, when I am only here through your kindness. If you wish me to turn these gentlemen out of their rooms, I will do it. Would you then, Mr. Beebe, kindly tell Mr. Emerson that I accept his kind offer, and then conduct him to me, in order that I may thank him personally?"

直到那时，巴特利特小姐才开口回答：「我亲爱的露西，与你的意愿相比，我自己的意愿无关紧要。如果我阻止你在佛罗伦萨随心所欲，那实在太过分了，何况我来这里全靠你的好意。如果你希望我让这两位先生腾出房间，我会照办的。那么，比比先生，请您告知爱默生先生，我接受他的好意，然后请您带他来见我，以便我亲自向他道谢，好吗？」

She raised her voice as she spoke; it was heard all over the drawing-room, and silenced the Guelfs and the Ghibellines.

她说话时提高了嗓音；声音传遍整个客厅，令圭尔夫派和吉伯林派的人都沉默了下来。

The clergyman, inwardly cursing the female sex, bowed, and departed with her message.

那位牧师在心中暗骂女性，鞠了一躬，带着她的话离开了。

"Remember, Lucy, I alone am implicated in this.

「记住，露西，这件事只与我一人有关。
