Chinese → English CHAPTER II Level 8/10

小公爵夫人迈着轻快而细碎的摇曳步伐绕着桌子走,手臂上挎着针线袋,愉快地展开裙子,在银茶炊旁的沙发上坐下,仿佛她所做的一切都是为了取悦自己和周围所有人。

The little princess went round the table with quick, short, swaying steps, her workbag on her arm, and gaily spreading out her dress sat down on a sofa near the silver samovar, as if all she was doing was a pleasure to herself and to all around her.

她用法语说道:"我把我的活计带来了,"一边展示她的袋子,一边向所有在场的人打招呼。

"I have brought my work," said she in French, displaying her bag and addressing all present.

她转向女主人,补充道:"安内特,你可得注意,我希望你没有跟我开什么恶作剧。"

"Mind, Annette, I hope you have not played a wicked trick on me," she added, turning to her hostess.

"你写信说这只是一个小型聚会,你看我穿得多么不得体。"

"You wrote that it was to be quite a small reception, and just see how badly I am dressed."

说着她张开双臂,展示她那件短腰身、饰有蕾丝花边、精致的灰色连衣裙,裙子在胸部下方束着一条宽缎带。

And she spread out her arms to show her short-waisted, lace-trimmed, dainty gray dress, girdled with a broad ribbon just below the breast.

"莉泽,请放心,你永远都会比任何人更漂亮,"安娜·帕夫洛芙娜回答道。

"Soyez tranquille, Lise, you will always be prettier than anyone else," replied Anna Pávlovna.

公爵夫人用同样的语气,仍然用法语,转向一位将军说道:"您知道吗,我丈夫要抛下我了?他要去送死了。请告诉我,这场可恶的战争究竟是为了什么?"

"You know," said the princess in the same tone of voice and still in French, turning to a general, "my husband is deserting me? He is going to get himself killed. Tell me what this wretched war is for?"

她一边对瓦西里王爷说着,一边不等他回答,便转身去和他的女儿、美丽的埃伦交谈。

she added, addressing Prince Vasíli, and without waiting for an answer she turned to speak to his daughter, the beautiful Hélène.

瓦西里王爷对安娜·帕夫洛芙娜说:"这位小公爵夫人真是个迷人的女人!"

"What a delightful woman this little princess is!" said Prince Vasíli to Anna Pávlovna.

接下来到场的客人中有一位身材粗壮、体格魁梧的年轻男子,他留着短发,戴着眼镜,穿着当时流行的浅色马裤,领口处有一圈高高的褶边,外套则是一件棕色的燕尾服。

One of the next arrivals was a stout, heavily built young man with close-cropped hair, spectacles, the light-colored breeches fashionable at that time, a very high ruffle, and a brown dress coat.
