The Yellow Wallpaper — Page 6
他说，等墙纸换了之后，接下来就会是那张笨重的床架，然后是装了栏杆的窗户，再然后是楼梯顶端的那扇门，如此这般，没完没了。
He said that after the wallpaper was changed it would be the heavy bedstead, and then the barred windows, and then that gate at the head of the stairs, and so on.
然后他把我揽入怀中，叫我傻乎乎的小笨鹅，还说如果我愿意，他甚至可以下到地窖去，顺便把那里也刷白。
Then he took me in his arms and called me a blessed little goose, and said he would go down cellar if I wished, and have it whitewashed into the bargain.
不过，他说床铺、窗户和其他种种都没问题，这一点倒是没错。
But he is right enough about the beds and windows and things.
这个房间通风良好，住着舒适，任谁都无可挑剔，而且我当然不会仅仅因为一时兴起就让他感到不快。
It is as airy and comfortable a room as any one need wish, and, of course, I would not be so silly as to make him uncomfortable just for a whim.
我真的越来越喜欢这间大房间了，只除了那讨厌的壁纸。
I'm really getting quite fond of the big room, all but that horrid paper.
从一扇窗户望出去，我能看见花园，那些幽深神秘、绿荫覆盖的凉亭，还有那些恣意生长的老式花卉、灌木和盘根错节的老树。
Out of one window I can see the garden, those mysterious deep-shaded arbors, the riotous old-fashioned flowers, and bushes and gnarly trees.
从另一扇窗户望出去，我能看到美丽的海湾景色，还有一处属于这座庄园的私人小码头。从房子通往那里有一条绿树成荫的幽静小路。我总是恍惚觉得自己看见有人在那些蜿蜒的小径和凉亭间漫步，但约翰已经告诫我，绝不能让自己沉溺于这样的幻想。
Out of another I get a lovely view of the bay and a little private wharf belonging to the estate. There is a beautiful shaded lane that runs down there from the house. I always fancy I see people walking in these numerous paths and arbors, but John has cautioned me not to give way to fancy in the least.
