War and Peace — Page 9

Chinese → English CHAPTER I Level 8/10

「帮我安排这件事,我将永远是你最忠诚的奴隶——奴隶这个词用f拼写,就像我的一个村长在报告中写的那样。她富有,出身名门,这就是我所要求的一切。」

"Arrange that affair for me and I shall always be your most devoted slave-slafe with an f, as a village elder of mine writes in his reports. She is rich and of good family and that's all I want."

他以特有的随意和优雅,将女侍从官的手举到唇边,轻吻了一下,然后将手来回摆动,自己则斜靠在扶手椅上,目光望向别处。

And with the familiarity and easy grace peculiar to him, he raised the maid of honor's hand to his lips, kissed it, and swung it to and fro as he lay back in his armchair, looking in another direction.

「请稍等,」安娜·帕芙洛夫娜沉思片刻说道,「我今晚就去找丽丝——小博尔孔斯基的妻子——谈谈,也许这件事可以安排妥当。我就以你们家族的名义,开始我这个老姑娘的学徒生涯吧。」

"Attendez," said Anna Pávlovna, reflecting, "I'll speak to Lise, young Bolkónski's wife, this very evening, and perhaps the thing can be arranged. It shall be on your family's behalf that I'll start my apprenticeship as old maid.
