Light O' the Morning: The Story of an Irish Girl — Page 1
「那么，诺拉小姐——」
"Why, then, Miss Nora--"
「什么事，汉娜？」
"Yes, Hannah?"
「小姐，您没看到少爷从这边走过去吗？」
"You didn't see the masther going this way, miss?"
「汉娜，你这话是什么意思？父亲这个时候从来不在家。」
"What do you mean, Hannah? Father is never at home at this hour."
「我只是觉得也许……」汉娜说道，语气迟疑，身子微微往后退了退。
"I thought maybe--" said Hannah. She spoke in a dubious voice, backing a little away.
汉娜是个矮小结实的女人，具有典型的爱尔兰人面貌。
Hannah was a small, squat woman, of a truly Irish type.
她的鼻子朝天，嘴巴宽大，眼睛乌黑，闪烁着顽皮的光芒。
Her nose was celestial, her mouth wide, her eyes dark, and sparkling with fun.
她穿着一条短粗的哔叽裙，外面罩着一件所谓的睡袍；那件睡袍是用黄红相间的条纹印花棉布做成的，腰间用一条同色的宽布带束着。
She was dressed in a short, coarse serge petticoat, with what is called a bedgown over it; the bedgown was made of striped calico, yellow and red, and was tied in at the waist with a broad band of the same.
汉娜的头发已经明显花白，她那张充满幽默感的脸上布满了纵横交错的皱纹。
Hannah's hair was strongly inclined to gray, and her humorous face was covered with a perfect network of wrinkles.
此刻她直视着这位她正在说话的年轻姑娘，露出一抹雪白牙齿的光芒。
She showed a gleam of snowy teeth now, as she looked full at the young girl whom she was addressing.
「唉，诺拉小姐，」她说，「我真是为你们感到难过啊。」
"Ah, then, Miss Nora," she said, "it's I that am sorry for yez."
诺拉·奥沙纳根还来不及开口，汉娜就已经转身离开了。
Before Nora O'Shanaghgan could utter a word Hannah had turned on her heel.
「回来，汉娜，」诺拉用命令般的口气说道。
"Come back, Hannah," said Nora in an imperious voice.
「一会儿就来，亲爱的；我听见孩子们在叫我。来了，迈克宝贝，来了。」
"Presently, darlint; it's the childer I hear calling me. Coming, Mike asthore, coming."
那矮小的身影沿着一条通往牧场的小径飞奔而去：牧场那边有一个旋转栅门，在毗邻田地的远端，有一间泥巴砌成的小屋，只有一扇小小的窗户和一个茅草屋顶。
The squat little figure flew down a side walk which led to a paddock: beyond the paddock was a turnstile, and at the farther end of an adjacent field a cabin made of mud, with one tiny window and a thatched roof.
