Passing by roger greene s office and dollard s big red printing house gerty macdowell , carrying the catesby s cork lino letters for her father who was laid up , knew by the style it was the lord and lady lieutenant but she couldn t see what her excellency had on because the tram and spring s big yellow furniture van had to stop in front of her on account of its being the lord lieutenant 從那氣派,她曉得那就是總督夫婦了,卻看不到夫人究竟怎樣打扮,因為一輛電車和斯普林家具店的一輛大型黃色家具搬運車給總督大人讓道,剛好停在她跟前。倫迪福特煙草店再過去,從卡瓦納酒吧那被遮住的門口,約翰懷斯諾蘭朝著國王陛下的代表愛爾蘭總督閣下淡然一笑,但是無人目睹到其神情之冷漠。

Cissy said to excuse her would he mind telling her what was the right time and gerty could see him taking out his watch , listening to it and looking up and clearing his throat and he said he was very sorry his watch was stopped but he thought it must be after eight because the sun was set 西茜對他說,勞駕,能不能麻煩他告訴她一下準確的時間?格蒂看見他掏出表,聽了聽,仰起臉來,清了清喉嚨,說他非常抱歉,他的表停了。然而,他估計八點過了,因為太陽已經落下。

Gerty could picture the whole scene in the church , the stained glass windows lighted up , the candles , the flowers and the blue banners of the blessed virgin s sodality and father conroy was helping canon o hanlon at the altar , carrying things in and out with his eyes cast down 格蒂能夠想象得出教堂里的一切情景:被燈光照亮的彩色玻璃,蠟燭,鮮花,圣母瑪利亞教友會的藍色旗幟。康羅伊神父在祭壇上協助教堂蒙席奧漢,他雙目低垂,把一些圣器搬出搬進。

Gerty macdowell bent down her head and crimsoned at the idea of cissy saying an unladylike thing like that out loud she d be ashamed of her life to say , flushing a deep rosy red , and edy boardman said she was sure the gentleman opposite heard what she said 格蒂麥克道維爾低下頭去,單是想到她自己一輩子也說不出口的不像是大家閨秀的話,西酋居然會這么大聲說了出來,就弄得格蒂羞紅了臉,浮泛出一片深玫瑰色。

And when her mother had those raging splitting headaches who was it rubbed on the menthol cone on her forehead but gerty though she didn t like her mother taking pinches of snuff and that was the only single thing they ever had words about , taking snuff 當她媽媽頭痛欲裂的時候,替她在前額上擦錐形薄荷錠的不是別人,正是格蒂。不過,她討厭媽媽吸鼻煙的嗜好,母女之間也僅僅就吸鼻煙一事拌過嘴。

Her shoes were the newest thing in footwear edy boardman prided herself that she was very petite but she never had a foot like gerty macdowell , a five , and never would ash , oak or elm with patent toecaps and just one smart buckle at her higharched instep 她的鞋是當前最時髦的。伊迪博德曼引為得意的是她的鞋號碼很小12 ,然而她從未長過格蒂麥克道維爾那樣一雙僅僅五號的腳,永遠也不會的。

The twins clamoured again for it and cissy told her to kick it away and let them fight for it so gerty drew back her foot but she wished their stupid ball hadn t come rolling down to her and she gave a kick but she missed and edy and cissy laughed 雙胞胎又吵吵鬧鬧地要球,西茜叫格蒂把球踢開,任他們兩個去爭奪。于是,格蒂將一只腳向后一抬,暗想:要是這只笨球沒滾到她這兒多好。

Gerty just took off her hat for a moment to settle her hair and a prettier , a daintier head of nutbrown tresses was never seen on a girl s shoulders , a radiant little vision , in sooth , almost maddening in its sweetness 為了整理一下頭發,格蒂摘了一會兒帽子。還沒見過一個少女肩上披散著這么漂亮優美的一頭深栗色鬈發呢。看上去如此嬌艷可愛,說實在的,妖嬈得幾乎令人發狂。

Gerty macdowell who was seated near her companions , lost in thought , gazing far away into the distance , was in very truth as fair a specimen of winsome irish girlhood as one could wish to see 她凝望遠方,沉湎在默想中。她在富于魅力的愛爾蘭姑娘中間,確實是位不經見的美少女典范。凡是認識她的人都一口稱道她的美貌。

The gentleman aimed the ball once or twice and then threw it up the strand towards cissy caffrey but it rolled down the slope and stopped right under gerty s skirt near the little pool by the rock 紳士用球瞄了瞄,就從岸灘朝上扔給西茜卡弗里。但是球沿坡滾下,剛好停在格蒂的裙子下面,離巖石旁的小小水洼子不遠。

Gerty s lips parted swiftly to frame the word but she fought back the sob that rose to her throat , so slim , so flawless , so beautifully moulded it seemed one an artist might have dreamed of 格蒂旋即張開嘴要說什么,但是她竭力抑制住涌到嗓子眼里的哽咽她喉嚨的造型細溜完美而俊秀,像是藝術家所夢寐以求的。

Gerty wished to goodness they would take their squalling baby home out of that and not get on her nerves no hour to be out and the little brats of twins 格蒂衷心巴望他們能把咭哇亂叫的娃娃打這兒領回家去,免得再刺激她的神經。現在已不適宜呆在外面了,對那孿生的調皮鬼來說也是一樣。

As for undies they were gerty s chief care and who that knows the fluttering hopes and fears of sweet seventeen though gerty would never see seventeen again can find it in his heart to blame her 腳后跟的部位是特別編織的,上面還系著寬襪帶。最使格蒂操心的要算是內衣了。

Nao , tommy said . - i know , edy boardman said none too amiably with an arch glance from her shortsighted eyes . i know who is tommy s sweetheart , gerty is tommy s sweetheart “我知道, “伊迪博德曼那雙近視眼詭秘地一閃,略微帶點刺兒他說, “我知道誰是湯米的心上人哆。

Edy boardman was noticing it too because she was squinting at gerty , half smiling , with her specs , like an old maid , pretending to nurse the baby 伊迪博德曼也發覺了這一點,因為她一面斜起眼睛望著格蒂,一面像個老處女似的戴著眼鏡,半笑不笑的,假裝在哄娃娃。
